Before You Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our Internet

support site and choose the model name that relates to your device to get a
list of available Firmware Upgrade Packages.

2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the

most recent), and download it to your computer.

3. Use Cat 5 cable to connect the KM0432’s Firmware Upgrade Port to a hub

that the computer you used in Step 1 connects to.

Note: On a daisy chained installation, connect the cable to the First Station

unit. The chained stations will receive the upgrade via the daisy
chain cables.

4. Shut down all of the computers - but not the Stations - on your KVM

installation.

5. From your KVM switch console, bring up the OSD (see p. 33) and select

the F4ADM function.

6. Scroll down to FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Press [Enter], then press [Y] to

invoke Firmware Upgrade Mode.
