CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION
PREPARATION
Take the following steps to prepare for the matrix update:
1. Save the matrix configuration externally (see Section 4.12.4).
2. Open Extras > Options in the menu bar and insert in the setting Firmware Directory the directory from which the update files
should be standardly sourced.
3. Put all hot spare boards into the matrix.
4. Activate the Syslog function (see Section 4.12.4) for the monitoring of the update, if unlocked via license key.
NOTE: Ensure that all USB 2.0 extenders are only connected to the provided ports (fixed ports) before you start the matrix update.
Non-compliance may affect the stability of the update.
PERFORMING THE UPDATE
Take the following steps in order to be prepared for the matrix update:
1. Select Administration > Update Matrix Firmware in the task area.
All components of the matrix that can be updated will be automatically selected and highlighted in green.

2. Start the update by pressing the Update button in the appearing pop up window.
3. Restart the Matrix after the update by pressing the Restart matrix button in the lower part of the working area.
For a safe initialization of the matrix, we recommend a cold start (power cycle).
