Important information about updating your Remote Supervisor Adapter
II firmware
Important: If you have updated the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware to the
latest level or plan to in the future, read the following information.
The Remote Supervisor Adapter II uses a Java applet to perform many functions.
When the Remote Supervisor Adapter II is updated to the latest firmware level, the
Java applet is also updated to the latest level. By default, Java caches (stores
locally) applets that were previously used. After a flash update of the Remote
Supervisor Adapter II firmware, the Java applet that the server uses might not be at
the latest level.
To correct this problem, complete the following steps:
1. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel.
2. Double-click Java Plug-in 1.4. The Java Plug-in Control Panel window opens.
