Avocent IQ modules including Sun and serial IQ modules.

the mouse/keyboard to fail. When this occurs, reboot the target server.
To reset an AVRIQ module:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click Versions - AVRIQ Versions in the left column.
2. Click the EID of the AVRIQ module you want to reset.
3. Click Reset. A message appears warning you that this function is reserved for cascaded
switches and that resetting the AVRIQ module may result in the need to reboot the server.

module firmware. You can override the auto-upgrade at any stage using the Load Firmware button
described in the next section.

1. Click the Tools tab in the OBWI.
2. Click the Upgrade Appliance Firmware button.

supplied and the location of the upgrade files.
