Upgrading CIMs

Upgrading Firmware

Use this procedure to upgrade CIMs using the firmware versions stored
in the memory of your KX II device. In general, all CIMs are upgraded
when you upgrade the device firmware using the Firmware Upgrade
page.
In order to make use of USB profiles, you must use a D2CIM-VUSB or
D2CIM-DVUSB with updated firmware. A VM-CIM that has not had its
firmware upgraded will support a broad range of configurations
®
(Windows , Keyboard, Mouse, CD-ROM, and Removable Device) but will
not be able to make use of profiles optimized for particular target
configurations. Given this, existing VM-CIMs should be upgraded with
the latest firmware in order to access USB profiles. Until existing VM-
CIMs are upgraded, they will be able to provide functionality equivalent
to the 'Generic' profile.
To upgrade CIMs using the KX II memory:
1. Choose Maintenance > CIM Firmware Upgrade. The CIM Upgrade
from page opens.
The Port (number), Name, Type, Current CIM Version, and Upgrade
CIM Version are displayed for easy identification of the CIMs.
2. Check the Selected checkbox for each CIM you want to upgrade.
3. Click Upgrade. You are prompted to confirm the upgrade.
4. Click OK to continue the upgrade. Progress bars are displayed
during the upgrade. Upgrading takes approximately 2 minutes or less
per CIM.
Use the Firmware Upgrade page to upgrade the firmware for your KX II
and all attached CIMs. This page is available in the KX II Remote
Console only.
Important: Do not turn off your KX II unit or disconnect CIMs while
the upgrade is in progress - doing so will likely result in damage to
the unit or CIMs.
To upgrade your KX II unit:
1. Locate the appropriate Raritan firmware distribution file (*.RFP) on
the Raritan website http://www.raritan.com
Upgrades web page.
2. Unzip the file. Please read all instructions included in the firmware
ZIP files carefully before upgrading.
