After you select Open the upload will start immediately. If you do not refresh or close this browser window, the update will continue while you continue to use Hawkeye.

After the upload completes the system will validate that it is a Keysight update repository ISO file and show a notification in the Hawkeye UI.

After Hawkeye validates the image, it will display the image available offline for update on the System page. Then you can select the Update Server button to start the update process and continue the process similar to online update.
