Please contact our Technical Support Team if you encounter issues installing or upgrading to macOS 12.x with an OWC Aura N2 or OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD.

#Monterey instal the new version for mac install#

This firmware issue occurs regardless of install method: If the host system firmware has been updated to the fall-2019 release or later, macOS 12.x will install and the System firmware will update with an OWC SSD installed. The only way to address the above error is to re-install an Apple factory SSD and perform an install of the latest OS available for your Mac.

Compatible internal storage is required in order to update Some of you might have received this error message:Įrror Message: A required firmware update could not be installed. The host firmware version can be confirmed under System Report –> Hardware Overview –> System Firmware Version. We recommend confirming the current firmware version under System Report. This impact will be noticed when attempting to install or update an OWC Aura N2 or OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD.Īny users who might be encountering this issue should update their system firmware to the latest (4xx.0.0.0.0) before attempting to install macOS 12.x on their OWC Aura N2 or OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD. Unlike macOS 11 (“Big Sur”) which required no firmware update, Monterey will not successfully install on a machine with an OWC SSD installed if the firmware is older than the fall-2019 macOS 10.15.x Catalina iteration. In later iterations of MacOS 10 and MacOS 11, Apple’s install would not always update the firmware of systems using 3rd party NVMe storage-even if the operating system itself was installed properly.
