Do you have access to a laptop computer or a PC that you can move close to the equipment rack?

You'd need to be able to reach the rear panel to press in the small "reset" button before doing the firmware update, which may or may not be a problem depending on your cabinet, but otherwise you wouldn't have to take anything apart.
I had already thought of leaving the serial cable hanging from the back of the cabinet, and modifying it (expanding the cable holes) to provide access to the reset button.
Still, I'm reluctant to install if it's going to pose a risk. Blown tweeters on my Magnepans would be tragic to say the least!
