How to perform Linux OS updates on the NextSeq 1000/2000

With the end of CentOS 7 support by RedHat as of June 30th, 2024, no further OS updates will be available.

To find the released patches and instructions on how to apply them, please visit the Illumina Product Security Portal page.

As announced in PCN2025-1767, a new NextSeq Sequencing System Software Suite (v2.0.0) is available, which includes a new operating system (Oracle Linux 9).
