When using the local UI, the screen is blank while the KVM Console Switch reboots. When using the
remote OBWI, a message appears informing you the interface is waiting on the switch to complete the
reboot.
Upgrading the console switch firmware
Update the switch with the latest available firmware.
After the firmware is updated, the switch performs a soft reset, which ends all IA sessions. A target device
experiencing an IA firmware update might not appear, or might appear as disconnected. The target device
appears normally when the update completes.
CAUTION: Disconnecting an IA during a firmware update or while cycling power to the target
device renders the IA inoperable. The IA must be returned to the factory for repair.
