Upgrade Adapters

In addition to upgrading the KVM firmware, the Maintenance section allows you to upgrade the firmware of the connected SIUs. The firmware upgrade file for the master KVM also contains the firmware for the SIUs, so you do not need separate files for each SIU. Once you have uploaded the most current KVM firmware, the most current SIU firmware is available via the Upgrade Adapters sub-section. Note: Only those SIUs that are directly connected to the master KVM switch can be upgraded. SIUs that are connected to cascaded KVMs will not be upgradeable via the master KVMs Maintenance section.

To upgrade the firmware to the connected SIUs, follow the steps below.

1.Logon to the OSD, and navigate to the Maintenance section, which will open with the Upgrade Main Firmware sub-section page displayed. Select the Upgrade Adapters sub-section. The Upgrade Adapters page opens, with a list of KVM ports displayed, and the model number and firmware version number of the connected SIUs listed to the right of the port number.

2.By default, the Check Adapter 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 SIUs. 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.

3.Click the Adapter Firmware Info button to display the most current SIU firmware versions available on the KVM switch. Compare this information with the firmware version numbers displayed in the Upgrade Adapters list. If the version number displayed next to the connected SIUs is older than that in the Adapter Firmware Info list, you should upgrade the firmware.

4.Check the checkbox next to each SIU you wish to upgrade. Check the master KVM checkbox to automatically check all SIUs at once.

5.Click the Upgrade Adapters button to begin the firmware upgrade. As the upgrade proceeds, progress is shown in the Status column.

6.When the upgrade is finished, the Status column will display the text Upgrade Successful. In the event of a firmware upgrade failure, see the SIU Firmware Upgrade Recovery section below.

SIU Firmware Upgrade Recovery

Should the SIU firmware upgrade procedure fail, and the SIU becomes unusable, follow the steps below.

1.Unplug the SIU from the computer/server it is connected to.

2.Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery switch (located next to the Cat5 connector) to the Recover position.

3.Plug the SIU back into the computer/server.

4.Start the SIU firmware upgrade procedure again.

5.After the SIU has been successfully upgraded, unplug it from the computer/server, slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery switch to the Normal position, and plug it back in.
