XG 210 High Availability Question

Question

Hello: 
 I currently have an XG 210 and I am about to setup another one (same model) for High Availabilty. I had a couple of questions: 
 The current XG has a higher firmware version that the new XG. How do I upgrade the second onw to the same version? If thru the console is there a detailed step by step tutorial on doing that? 
 The current XG has an IP in our local network. How do I change the IP on the second XG to get an IP on our network instead of the default IP (172.16.16.16)? Is this also done thru the console are is it configured during HA setup? 
 Sorry for the dumb questions but I don't what to mess this up. 
 
 Thanks!
