5.1FLASH Upgrades

The KVM s2-1611 FLASH upgrade feature allows you to upgrade your unit with the latest firmware available. To perform this update you will need a TFTP server. If you don’t already have a TFTP server, there are several you can download from the internet.

If you upgrade the appliance firmware, please verify the individual firmware of the KVM s2-Adapters. The upgrade of the adapters requires a separate upgrade procedure which is found in Chapter 4.

Next, you will need to copy the FLASH upgrade file (.fl file extension) from the CD. Save the FLASH upgrade file to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server. Once this is complete, the following steps will upload the new FLASH file.

When upgrading your switch firmware, ensure that the keyboard coun- try codes with your system correspond with the firmware loaded in your switch. Contact Fujitsu SiemensTechnical Support for more informa- tion. Technical Support contact information is available at the end of this manual.

5.1.1. Uploading a new FLASH file

Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal) to the configuration port on the back panel of the KVM s2-1611 using a straight-through null modem cable. The terminal should be set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.

Connect the LAN port on the KVM s2-1611 to an Ethernet hub that is also connected to the PC being used as the TFTP server.

Launch both the server software and the terminal emulation software.

Verify that the KVM s2-1611 is turned on. After approximately 40 seconds, the KVM s2-1611 will send out a message, Fujitsu Siemens KVM series2-1611 Ready__Press any key to continue. Press any key to access the main menu. The KVM s2-1611 main menu appears.

Get the IP address of the TFTP server: If using the SolarWinds TFTP server, it appears in the lower right-hand corner of the server’s pane. Otherwise, extract it from the OS tools (may be OS-dependent):

a.Right-click on Network Neighborhood.

b.Select Properties.

c.Select the Protocols tab.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers, a key player in the computing industry, was established in 1999 as a joint venture between two tech giants: Fujitsu, a Japanese multinational, and Siemens, a German engineering company. This partnership aimed to leverage the strengths of both companies to create a strong presence in the European PC market.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers focused on a diverse range of products, including personal computers, workstations, and servers, catering to both consumer and business markets. One of the standout features of their offerings was the commitment to innovation. Fujitsu Siemens integrated cutting-edge technologies into their devices, ensuring users benefited from the latest advancements.

The company was known for its robust design and reliability, characteristics that made its systems particularly popular in enterprise environments. Their notebooks and desktops often featured ergonomic designs, with exceptional build quality aimed at enhancing user experience. Moreover, they provided a range of security features, including biometric authentication and hardware encryption, addressing the needs of businesses concerned about data protection.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers also invested heavily in energy efficiency. Many of their devices were designed to minimize power consumption, responding to the growing demand for sustainable technology solutions. Their systems often featured low-power components and energy-efficient processors, which not only reduced environmental impact but also helped cut operational costs for businesses.

In terms of technology, Fujitsu Siemens was an early adopter of virtualization, enabling enterprises to optimize resource utilization in their server environments. Their server lineup, particularly the Primergy series, was well-regarded for its scalability and performance, making it suitable for demanding workloads.

Furthermore, Fujitsu Siemens' close collaboration with software companies allowed them to offer tailored solutions that met specific industry needs. They provided extensive support for virtualization platforms, security software, and enterprise management tools, positioning their products as comprehensive solutions for businesses.

Despite its strengths, Fujitsu Siemens Computers underwent several transitions over the years, eventually becoming part of Fujitsu Technology Solutions in 2009. Nevertheless, the legacy of Fujitsu Siemens Computers continues to influence modern computing, as its blend of innovation, reliability, and customer-focused solutions paved the way for future advancements in the tech industry.
