Click OK to enter Firmware Upgrade mode. This may take a few minutes as the system prepares to upgrade firmware. Users with active sessions in the OSD will be informed that they should logout. (Some KVM consoles may be automatically logged out.) The Firmware Upgrade Web Page will appear (Figure 26). It displays the current firmware versions for the B060-032-8 and other modules.

Select the check box for each module that you wish to upgrade. Or, click to clear the check box for each module that you do not wish to upgrade.

Click Browse. The Choose file dialog box appears.

Navigate to the directory where the new firmware upgrade package file was saved, select the file, and click Open. The path and filename appear

in the Firmware Image File field. (If you have not yet downloaded the

firmware upgrade package, see “Downloading the Firmware UpgradeFigure 26: Firmware Upgrade Web Page Package,” page 30).

Decide whether to check the firmware version level.

(a)If you select Check Firmware Version, the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility compares the firmware level of the B060-032-8 with that of the upgrade files. If it finds that the current firmware version of the B060-032-8 is equal or higher, the firmware upgrade is aborted and the B060-032-8 automatically resets and returns to the login screen.

(b)If you do not select Check Firmware Version, the Utility installs the upgrade files without comparing the version levels.

Click Upgrade to begin upgrading the firmware or click Abort to cancel the firmware upgrade. If firmware upgrade is aborted, the B060-032-8 will automatically reboot, requiring you to login again. Note: It takes approximately seven minutes to upgrade firmware for a single level installation, and 17 minutes for a cascaded installation. Please be patient while firmware upgrade is in progress.

After the firmware upgrade completes, the B060-032-8 automatically resets and returns to the login screen.

Upgrading Firmware via the Firmware Upgrade Utility

Before starting the Firmware Upgrade Utility, ensure that both the host computer and first-level B060-032-8 lie within the same subnet and are not physically separated by a router, gateway, or firewall. If you have not yet downloaded the Firmware Upgrade Utility and firmware upgrade package, you can obtain them via the Support section at www.tripplite.com. Note: This procedure will not upgrade firmware for cascaded B060-032-8, Console Interface Units (CIUs) or Server Interface Units (SIUs).

To upgrade firmware using the Firmware Upgrade Utility:

Double-click the B060-032-8 Firmware Upgrade Utility icon that you’ve downloaded from the Support section at www.tripplite.com. If multiple master (first-level) stations lie within the subnet, the Select Master Device dialog box appears (Figure 27).
