3.16.1 Upgrading IQ modules

The IQ module Flash upgrade feature allows appliance administrators to update IQ modules with the
latest firmware available. This update can be performed using the switch user interfaces or DSView™
software.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the switch performs a soft reset, which
terminates all IQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an IQ module firmware update may not
display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will appear normally when the Flash update is
completed.
IQ modules are automatically updated when the switch is updated. To update your switch firmware, see
Appliance Tools on page 21 or the DSView Software Online Help. If issues occur during the normal
upgrade process, IQ modules may also be force upgraded when needed.
NOTE: Check http://www.VertivCo.com for firmware upgrade files.
To upgrade the IQ module firmware:
1. From the side navigation bar, click Unit View - Appliance - ApplianceSettings - Ports - IQ
Modulesto open the Appliance IQ Modules screen.
2. Select the checkbox(es) next to the IQ module(s) that you wish to upgrade and click Upgrade.
