Cascading Matrix - HP G3 KVM User Manual

To perform a firmware upgrade for a cascaded KVM Console Switch and all attached IAs, locally connect
the keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the cascaded KVM Console Switch to access the local OSD.
The following figure shows a KVM Console Switch cascaded with another KVM Console Switch. The
primary KVM Console Switch is on the top. The secondary (cascaded) KVM Console Switch is on the
bottom.
CAUTION: Do not use interface adapters to cascade one KVM Console Switch system with
another KVM Console Switch system. If interface adapters are used to cascade these
products, undesirable operations might occur.
