Using your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch

The AutoUpdate™ Firmware Update Utility

Updating Firmware

The AutoUpdate application is designed to inspect your hardware and guide you through the process of updating the firmware (if necessary) on your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch. AutoUpdate automatically downloads the best firmware for your device from the Belkin website, or you can download the appropriate file manually by going to our website at www.belkin.com. The administrator should perform the updates when the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch is not in use. The Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch will be power-cycled during the process, which may lead to loss of keyboard, or mouse functionality on some servers. The administrator should shut down any servers that he or she is not willing to physically reset, before beginning the update process.

NOTE: The AutoUpdate function will not run if your servers are located behind a proxy server. Please call Belkin Technical Support to have the file emailed to you.

WARNING! Moving the mouse and keyboard during the AutoUpdate may cause damage to the Rack-Mount KVM switch.

To update the firmware, you will need the following items2:

1.A server running Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98, with an available USB port.

2.A standard USB cable that connects between the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch and the server.

3.The Belkin AutoUpdate application that can be downloaded from the Internet.

4.An Internet connection for automatic installation.

Installing the AutoUpdate application:

1.Download and run the AutoUpdate application from the Belkin website.

2.Click the “Next” buttons, configuring file locations, icon preferences, etc., as desired, until the install is complete.

2During the firmware upgrade process, both Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch drawers must remain closed, and all cables, excluding power and the USB cable, must be disconnected. Any input into the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch during the firmware upgrade will potentially corrupt the firmware and cause the unit to be inoperable.
