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 down-
load 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.
