The KVM-9000 is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called the firmware. The firmware of the KVM-9000 can be updated remotely in order to install new functionality or special features.

A new firmware update is a binary file which will be sent to you by email or which you can download from the supplier web site. If the firmware file is compressed (file suffix .zip) then you must unzip it before you can proceed. Under the Windows operating system you may use WinZip from http://www.winzip.com/ for uncompression. Other operating systems might provide a program called unzip.

Before you can start updating the firmware of your KVM-9000 the new uncompressed firmware file has to be accessible on the system that you use for connecting to the KVM-9000.

Updating the firmware is a three-stage process:

•Firstly, the new firmware file is uploaded onto the KVM-9000. In order to do that you need to select the file on your local system using the button “ Browse ” of the Upload Firmware panel. Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it is checked whether it is a valid firmware file and whether there were any transmission errors. In case of any error the Upload Firmware function will be aborted.

•Secondly, if everything went well, you see the Update Firmware panel. The panel shows you the version number of the currently running firmware and the version number of the uploaded firmware. Pressing the button “Update” will store the new version and substitute the old one completely.

Warning

This process is not reversible and might take some minutes. Make sure the KVM-9000 's power supply will not be interrupted during the update process, because this may cause an unusable card.

•Thirdly, after the firmware has been stored, the panel will request you to reset the KVM-9000 manually. Half a minute after the reset, the KVM-9000 will run with the new firmware version and should be accessible. However, you are requested to login once again.

Warning

The three-stage firmware update process and complete consistency check are making a mistake in updating the firmware almost impossible. However, only experienced staff members or administrators should perform a firmware update. Make sure the KVM-9000 's power supply will not be interrupted!
