The Firmware Upgrade Utility
The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility provides a smooth, automated process for upgrading the
KVM switch’s firmware. The Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each
device. Check the web site regularly to find the latest packages and information relating to them: http://
www.iogear.com
Before you Begin
1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our website site support section
and choose the model name that relates to your device to get 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. Power off the switch. Unplug the KVM cables from the back of the switch. If you are using a power
adapter, unplug it and remove its connector from the switch’s power jack. Connect one of the USB DVI
KVM cable set’s Type A USB connectors to a USB hub port on your computer.
4. At the other end of the USB DVI KVM cable set, connect the USB Type B connector to the Type A USB
port in the Port 1 KVM section.
Note: The USB DVI KVM cable set’s USB Type B connector can be connected to any USB Type KVM port
section, but the Port selection pushbutton in Step 5, below, must be Port 1.
