The Enable Auto-Upgrade for All KVM server modules checkbox allows you to enable an auto-
upgrade for KVM server module firmware. You can override the auto-upgrade at any stage using
the Load Firmware button described in the next section.
NOTE: You can also upload new KVM switch firmware using Advanced Systems Management Processors
(ASMP) (if supported) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file transfer protocols. ASMP file transfer allows
you to select the firmware from a local file system. The TFTP file transfer allows you to specify the TFTP server
address and the name of the firmware file.
