Just checking to make sure the file type when ugrading

Have an RB1200 and doing an OS upgrade on this box for the first time. Just wanted to confirm that the files I need to upload all have the -ppc- in the name. The exisiting package list says routeros-powerpc on the top line. Was wondering if I’m missing something. Don’t want to screw up my production system.

Thanks!

That is correct.

There are also safeguards. If you upload the wrong type it won’t install, and you’ll find that as a reason with the errors in the log after the reboot.
