Firmware Upgrade Utility
Introduction
The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility provides an automated process for upgrading the KVM
switch and compatible adapter cable firmware. The program comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade
Package that is specific for each device.
The latest revisions of new firmware for the KVM switch, and supported KVM Adapter Cables are
posted as Firmware Upgrade Packages on our website. Check the website regularly to find the latest
firmware packages and information relating to them.
Note: 1. A single upgrade package contains the upgrade files for the Main Board and all the
supported 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:
1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to www.apc.com and choose the
model name that relates to your device to receive 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. Use the firmware upgrade cable (provided with this unit), to connect a COM port on your
computer to the firmware upgrade port of your device. See “Firmware Upgrade Port” on page 5
for details.
Note: On a tiered installation, connect the cable to the first station (master) unit. The
tiered levels that are the same model will receive the upgrade through the chaining
cables.
4. From your KVM switch console, open the OSD (see “On Screen Display (OSD) Operation” on
page 13) and select the “F4:ADM” function.
