Adapter Cable Upgrade
Introduction
The firmware for the KA9520, KA9570, and KA9130 KVM Adapter Cables
can also be upgraded. Check the web site regularly to find the latest packages
and information relating to them.
Note:
1. A single upgrade package contains the upgrade files for all three
KVM Adapter Cables.
2. KVM Adapter Cables are referred to as
I/O Modules
in some dialog
boxes.
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. Shut down all of the computers - but not the Stations - on your KVM
installation.
4. From your KVM switch console, bring up the OSD (see page 21) and
select the
F4ADM
function.
5. Scroll down to
. Press
[Enter]
.
6. In the screen that comes up, press
[Y]
to invoke Upgrade Mode.
Note:
1. A message appears reminding you to connect an adapter cable.
The message appears even if you have adapter cables connected.
If all the adapter cables you want to upgrade have already been
connected, simply ignore the message.
2. The upgrade takes place via the Cat 5 cable that connects the
adapter cable to the KVM switch - so there is no firmware
upgrade cable to attach.
3. All the connected adapter cables get upgraded during a single
upgrade session.
