MCUpdate Operations
Planning before running MCUpdate:
Important! Please read this section carefully and plan ahead before you proceed. The
MCUpdate program MUST RUN TO COMPLETION. If it fails to complete the update
procedure, the MX
4
unit may become totally non-functional. If you have any questions on
this regard, please contact Raritan Tech Support for assistance.
1. The MX
4
unit must be running normally. Observe the LCD display, which will have a circulating Raritan
message on the first line and scrolling user messages on the second line.
2. If the MX
4
is currently running a version of firmware prior to ver. 2.0, MCUpdate will reset all configurations to
default. You must login as an administrator and MANUALLY COPY the current configurations in the attached
OSUI menu blanks so that you can re-configure the system after the upgrade ? Firmware version release levels
can be checked from the Help Menu , when logged in as an administrator.
3. If you have a 2-tier MX
4
system, you need to upgrade only the base unit. However, if you want to make full use
of all features, you should upgrade the second tier units to as well. You don’t need to perform step 2 for second
tier units, unless you have local users on those second tier units.
4. When MCUpdate is executing, the MX
4
will suspend all operations to perform the firmware update. It is
advisable to log off all users of the MX
4
system before running the MCUpdate, but not necessary.
Running MCUpdate
Begin from the Windows Start menu; select MCUpdate from the Programs menu. Select MCUpdate to begin the
MCUpdate program.
