Click
OK
to enter Firmware Upgrade mode. This may take a few minutes
as the system prepares to upgrade
fi
rmware. Users with active sessions in
the OSD will be informed that they should logout. (Some KVM consoles
may be automatically logged out.) The
Firmware Upgrade Web Page
will appear (Figure 26). It displays the current
fi
rmware versions for the
B060-032-8 and other modules.
Select the check box for each module that you wish to upgrade. Or, click
to clear the check box for each module that you do not wish to upgrade.
Click
Browse
. The
Choose
fi
le
dialog box appears.
Navigate to the directory where the new
fi
rmware upgrade package
fi
le
was saved, select the
fi
le, and click
Open
. The path and
fi
lename appear
in the
Firmware Image File
fi
eld. (If you have not yet downloaded the
fi
rmware upgrade package, see “Downloading the Firmware Upgrade
Package,” page 30).
Decide whether to check the
fi
rmware version level.
(a) If you select Check Firmware Version, the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility compares the
fi
rmware level of the B060-032-8 with that of the upgrade
fi
les. If it
fi
nds that the current
fi
rmware version of the B060-032-8 is equal or higher, the
fi
rmware upgrade is aborted and the B060-032-8
automatically resets and returns to the login screen.
(b) If you do not select Check Firmware Version, the Utility installs the upgrade
fi
les without comparing the version levels.
Click
Upgrade
to begin upgrading the
fi
rmware or click Abort to cancel the
fi
rmware upgrade. If
fi
rmware upgrade is aborted, the B060-032-8 will
automatically reboot, requiring you to login again. Note: It takes approximately seven minutes to upgrade
fi
rmware for a single level installation, and 17
minutes for a cascaded installation. Please be patient while
fi
rmware upgrade is in progress.
After
the
fi
rmware upgrade completes, the B060-032-8 automatically resets and returns to the login screen.
Upgrading Firmware via the Firmware Upgrade Utility
Before starting the Firmware Upgrade Utility, ensure that both the host computer and
fi
rst-level B060-032-8 lie within the same subnet and are not
physically separated by a router, gateway, or
fi
rewall. If you have not yet downloaded the Firmware Upgrade Utility and
fi
rmware upgrade package, you
can obtain them via the Support section at www.tripplite.com. Note: This procedure will not upgrade
fi
rmware for cascaded B060-032-8, Console Interface
Units (CIUs) or Server Interface Units (SIUs).
To upgrade
fi
rmware using the Firmware Upgrade Utility:
Double-click
the
B060-032-8 Firmware Upgrade Utility
icon that
you’ve downloaded from the Support section at www.tripplite.com.
If multiple master (
fi
rst-level) stations lie within the subnet, the
Select
Master Device
dialog box appears (Figure 27).
