OSD Operation (continued)

Maintenance

The Maintenance section is used to upgrade the B064-Series KVM Switch’s firmware, as well as the firmware of the Server Interface Units (SIUs) used to connect its ports to the installed devices.

Note: Super Administrators are the only users who are guaranteed access to the Maintenance section of the KVM. Administrators and Users can only access this function if they are given permission.

The Main Screen

The Maintenance section can be used to upgrade the KVM and SIU firmware, backup/restore system configuration and account information, ping network devices, and restore the KVMs default values. When selected, the Maintenance section opens with the Upgrade Main Firmware subsection displayed.

Upgrade Main Firmware

The Upgrade Main Firmware sub-section is used to upgrade the firmware of the KVM switch. As firmware upgrades become available, they can be found on www.tripplite.com/support. To upgrade the KVM firmware, follow the steps below.

1.Go to www.tripplite.com/support to download the most current firmware and save it to a computer that is not connected to the KVM switch.

2.Logon to the OSD, and navigate to the Maintenance section, which will open with the Upgrade Main Firmware sub-section page displayed.

3.By default, the Check Main Firmware Version box is checked, which causes the KVM to check to see if the current firmware is newer than that of the firmware file you are using to upgrade the KVM. If the current version is newer, you will not be allowed to continue with the upgrade. If you wish to perform a firmware upgrade without checking to see if the current firmware version is newer than the upgrade file, simply uncheck this checkbox.

4.Click the Browse button, and then navigate to and select the firmware upgrade file you downloaded from the Tripp Lite website. When selected, the Upgrade Firmware button becomes active.

5.Click the Upgrade Firmware button to begin the firmware upgrade. As the upgrade proceeds, progress is shown in the Upload Progress bar.

6.When the upload is complete, a pop-up appears stating System will reboot in a few seconds. The KVM switch will reboot (this may take a few minutes), and the upgrade will be complete. In the event of a firmware upgrade failure, see the Main Firmware Upgrade Recovery section below.

Main Firmware Upgrade Recovery

Should the KVM firmware upgrade procedure fail, and the switch becomes unusable, follow the steps below to restore the KVM.

1.Power off the KVM.

2.Press and hold the Reset switch on the front of the unit.

3.Power on the KVM while holding down the Reset switch.

4.The KVM will be restored to the originally installed firmware version. You will now be able to access the KVM switch and try upgrading the firmware again.
