Adapter Cable Firmware Upgrade Recovery

There are basically four conditions that call for firmware upgrade recovery:

ŠWhen the unit’s firmware becomes corrupted for some reason and you are unable to operate it.

ŠWhen you invoke Adapter Upgrade Mode (see ADAPTER UPGRADE, page 30), but decide not to proceed with the upgrade.

ŠWhen a firmware upgrade procedure is interrupted.

ŠWhen a firmware upgrade procedure fails.

To perform a firmware upgrade recovery, do the following:

1.Unplug the Adapter Cable from the computer it is connected to.

2.Slide its Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch (located next to the Cat 5 connector) to the Recover position.

3.Plug the adapter cable back into the computer.

4.From your KVM switch console, bring up the OSD (see page 21) and select the F4ADM function.

5.Scroll down to ADAPTER UPGRADE. Press [Enter].

6.Press [Y] to invoke Upgrade Mode.

7.Repeat the upgrade procedure starting with Starting the Upgrade:, page 47.

8.After the upgrade completes and the switch restarts, unplug the Adapter Cable from the computer and slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch back to the Normal position.

9.Plug the adapter cable back into the computer.

This completes the recovery procedure.
