OSD Operation
Maintenance
Upgrade Adapters
In addition to upgrading the KVM firmware, the Maintenance
section allows you to upgrade the firmware of the connected
SIUs. The firmware upgrade file for the master KVM also
contains the firmware for the SIUs, so you do not need
separate files for each SIU. Once you have uploaded the
most current KVM firmware, the most current SIU firmware is
available via the Upgrade Adapters sub-section.
Note: Only those SIUs that are directly connected to the master KVM
switch can be upgraded. SIUs that are connected to cascaded KVMs will
not be upgradeable via the master KVMs Maintenance section.
To upgrade the firmware to the connected SIUs, follow the
steps below.
1. Logon to the OSD, and navigate to the Maintenance section,
which will open with the Upgrade Main Firmware sub-section
page displayed. Select the Upgrade Adapters sub-section.
The Upgrade Adapters page opens, with a list of KVM ports
displayed, and the model number and firmware version
number of the connected SIUs listed to the right of the port
number.
2. By default, the Check Adapter Firmware Version box is checked, which causes the KVM to check to see if the current firmware is newer
than that of the firmware file you are using to upgrade the SIUs. If the current version is newer, you will not be allowed to continue
with the upgrade. If you wish to perform a firmware upgrade without checking to see if the current firmware version is newer than
the upgrade file, simply uncheck this checkbox.
3. Click the Adapter Firmware Info button to display the most current SIU firmware versions available on the KVM switch. Compare this
information with the firmware version numbers displayed in the Upgrade Adapters list. If the version number displayed next to the
connected SIUs is older than that in the Adapter Firmware Info list, you should upgrade the firmware.
4. Check the checkbox next to each SIU you wish to upgrade. Check the master KVM checkbox to automatically check all SIUs at once.
5. Click the Upgrade Adapters button to begin the firmware upgrade. As the upgrade proceeds, progress is shown in the Status column.
6. When the upgrade is finished, the Status column will display the text Upgrade Successful. In the event of a firmware upgrade failure,
see the SIU Firmware Upgrade Recovery section below.
SIU Firmware Upgrade Recovery
Should the SIU firmware upgrade procedure fail, and the SIU becomes unusable, follow the steps below.
1. Unplug the SIU from the computer/server it is connected to.
2. Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery switch (located next to the Cat5 connector) to the Recover position.
3. Plug the SIU back into the computer/server.
4. Start the SIU firmware upgrade procedure again.
5. After the SIU has been successfully upgraded, unplug it from the computer/server, slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery switch to the
Normal position, and plug it back in.
