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.

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.
