Super administrators can upgrade fi rmware for B060-032-8 Matrix KVM Switches, attached Console Interface Units (CIUs) and Server Interface Units
(SIUs). As new versions of the B060-032-8 fi rmware become available, they can be downloaded from the support section of www.tripplite.com. Check the
Website regularly to fi nd the latest information and fi rmware upgrade packages. If there is nothing posted on Tripp Lite’s website, there are no fi rmware
upgrades currently available.
To download the fi rmware upgrade package:
From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to the Software Downloads section on www.tripplite.com and choose from the options
provided. A list of available fi rmware upgrade packages appears.
Choose the fi rmware upgrade package that you wish to install (usually the most recent) and download it to your computer. There may be two different
fi rmware upgrade packages available for each fi rmware version:
(a) To upgrade the fi rmware for all possible devices in the installation, choose a fi rmware upgrade package with an FW extension. Note: Only
B060-032-8 switches and their attached Console Interface Units (CIUs) and Server Interface Units (SIUs) can be upgraded using a fi rmware upgrade
package with an FW extension. Any other KVM switch, its attached CIUs and SIUs, regardless of their type, cannot be upgraded from the
B060-032-8. To upgrade fi rmware for KVM switches and console modules not mentioned above, refer to the user manuals for those devices.
(b) To upgrade the fi rmware for the fi rst-level (root) B060-032-8 only, choose a fi rmware upgrade package with an EXE extension (the Firmware
Upgrade Utility). Use this fi rmware upgrade package in single-level installations and when recovering from a failed fi rmware upgrade.
Preparing to Upgrade Firmware
Notify all users to logout of the OSD and the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility.
Ensure that all computers are powered on; otherwise, some Server Interface Units (SIUs) may not be upgraded. (Disregard this if you are using the
Firmware Upgrade Utility to upgrade the fi rmware.)
Ensure that the B060-032-8 and all B062-002-PS2s and B062-002-USBs have the Firmware Upgrade switch set to Normal.
Disconnect all Daisy-Chained KVM Switches before performing the Firmware Upgrade.
Upgrading Firmware via the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility
