Well, the Z series is rather docile compared to the 500/800 series 
when it comes to firmware updates, but with a several hundred meg 
firmware file there's still a lot that can go wrong.

Never upgrade via a large network.
Never upgrade via a home-router/modem/hub type of network.
Never upgrade if you think there might be something wonky with your 
connection or your computer.
Never, for the love of everything that's holy, upgrade via a wireless 
network.

In fact, would always update via a direct connection from a laptop 
(power plugged in, of course), no hubs, no switches, and wLAN 
deactivated.

Firmware file downloaded twice and checked for errors.
