Chapter 7. The Firmware Upgrade Utility

4.Select MAIN to upgrade the firmware for the Main Board. Deselect any KVM Adapter Cable types that are not required to be upgraded. After you have made your selection(s), click Next to perform the upgrade.

ŠCheck Firmware Version - when selected the utility compares the Main Board firmware level with the upgrade files MAIN. If the device versions are higher than the upgrade versions a dialog box informs you and gives you the option to continue or cancel.

If you didn't enable Check Firmware Version, the utility installs the upgrade files without checking whether they are a higher level, or not.

ŠAs the upgrade proceeds status messages appear in the Status Messages panel, and the progress toward completion is shown on the Progress bar.

ŠTo abort the upgrade procedure before it completes, click Cancel.

If you cancel before completion, a dialog box warns you that the upgrade will not finish and shows the options to proceed or abort the cancel operation. The Mainboard and OSD firmware may be missing or corrupted upon rebooting the switch.

To recover from missing or corrupt firmware, see Firmware Upgrade Recovery, page 65.
