Main Firmware Upgrade

In addition to upgrading the KVM over IP switch's main firmware, this
function can also be used to upgrade any PON units and Blade Servers
deployed on the installation. As new versions of the firmware become
available, they can be downloaded from our website. Check the website
regularly to find the latest information and packages.
To upgrade the main firmware, do the following:
1. Download the new firmware file (switch, PON or blade server module), to
your computer.
2. Log in to the KVM over IP switch; and click the Maintenance tab. The
Maintenance tab opens to the Upgrade Main Firmware page:
3. Click Browse; navigate to the directory that the new firmware file is in
and select the file.
4. Click Upgrade Firmware to start the upgrade procedure.
 If you enabled Check Main Firmware Version the current firmware
level is compared with that of the upgrade file. If the current version is
equal to or higher than the upgrade version, a popup message appears,
to inform you of the situation and stops the upgrade procedure.
 If you didn't enable Check Main Firmware Version, the upgrade file is
installed without checking what its level is.
 As the upgrade proceeds, progress information is shown in the
Progress bar.
 Once the upgrade completes successfully, the switch resets itself.
5. Log in again, and check the firmware version to be sure it is the new one.
