Overview
Version 1.3 of the Black Box KVM Utility enables flashing of the ServSwitch
Jr. KVM Switches SW621A-R3 and SW622A-R3 with firmware revision B52
or greater
Installation of KVM Utility
The installer of the KVM Utility may be distributed in one of two formats:
a ZIP file or an EXE file. The ZIP file is
SetupBBKKVMUtil-1_3.zip
and the
EXE file is
SetupBBKVMUtil-1_3.exe
.
If the installer is distributed as a ZIP file, open it with WinZip and unzip the contents
to a known location. The ZIP file contains the EXE format.
Double-click on the EXE file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the
KVM utility. Installation is a standard Windows type installation. After installation,
the KVM utility can be launched from the desktop, the Start Menu, and/or the Quick
Launch bar to the right of the Start button on the taskbar.
Hookup of Device
The KVM flash upgrade utility is a universal program used to flash several models.
In order for the KVM utility to detect the correct device to flash, it must be
connected directly to a PC and the PC must be connected to port 1 on the switch.
Running the KVM utility
When the KVM utility has been successfully installed, it can now be run. If the
device has been hooked up as described above, the KVM utility will auto-detect the
device when it is launched and display the connected device. Otherwise, it will
display a message that an incorrect device has been connected.
Once the KVM utility has detected the device correctly, the device may be flashed or
configured from the File Menu.
