What ONTAP do you have, is it 7-mode or cDOT?
If it's cDOT, you can upgrade nondisruptively.

If you are running in 7-mode, the terminal release is 8.2.5P1. If you are running in cluster mode, you can upgrade that model to 8.3.2P12. It is not capable of running any ONTAP 9.x release.

Sean is right on...

If you enable AutoSupport, you can find out exactly how to upgrade to the latest possible ONTAP release with Upgrade Advisor in the NetApp Active IQ web portal.
