Important information about updating your Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware

Important: If you have updated the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware to the latest level or plan to in the future, read the following information.

The Remote Supervisor Adapter II uses a Java applet to perform many functions. When the Remote Supervisor Adapter II is updated to the latest firmware level, the Java applet is also updated to the latest level. By default, Java caches (stores locally) applets that were previously used. After a flash update of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware, the Java applet that the server uses might not be at the latest level.

To correct this problem, complete the following steps:

1.Click Start Settings Control Panel.

2.Double-click Java Plug-in 1.4. The Java Plug-in Control Panel window opens.
