The Main Panel
When you click the Maintenance tab, a dialog box similar to the one
below appears:
As new versions of the B064-Series KVM Switch firmware become available, they are posted on our website and can be downloaded to a
convenient location on your computer from there. When performing an upgrade, use this section to navigate to where the download file is located.
If you enable Check Firmware Version, when you perform an upgrade the current firmware version is compared with that of the upgrade file.
Depending on whether you are upgrading the firmware to the B064-Series KVM Switch or the Server Interface Unit, you will need to check
Check Main Firmware Version
(KVM Switch) or Check Adapter Firmware Version (Server Interface Unit). If the current version is the same or
higher than the upgrade version, a popup message appears, that says the new firmware is lower than the current.
A description of the items shown in this panel is described in the table, below:
