Auto Self Upgrade The unit includes an innovative feature allowing the unit to upgrade itself over the Internet. Simply click on the button labeled Upgrade to latest and the

module will go out to the Internet and download the latest version of the system firmware and then install it. If the module cannot access the Internet directly (perhaps due to a Web proxy or other firewalls), then a page will be shown that causes your browser to download the required file. Save this file to disk and then upload it as described in the next section, Manual Upload. The main FPGA is upgraded separately, and has its own Upgrade button. This file is unique for each unit, so it must be done in this manner.

If you have multiple units to upgrade, you may choose the Get latest version button that will not attempt to upgrade the unit directly, but will instead fetch the required file. This file can be uploaded to multiple units manually. You may also choose Reboot Myself at the bottom of the screen to restart the unit without powering on and off.

Manual Upload

Enter the name of the firmware file that you received from StarTech.com into the field provided (or use the Browse... button). Press Start Upload and wait until a successful upload message is shown.

NOTE: Remember the following during the firmware upgrade…

Do NOT turn off power to unit before this operation completes successfully. It may take several minutes to write to flash memory.
