The firmware on the Server Remote Control is field upgradable. To upgrade to another
version, login as admin.
Auto Self Upgrade
The SV1115IPEXT unit includes an innovative feature allowing it to upgrade itself over
the Internet. Simply click on the button labeled Upgrade to Latest and the unit will
go out to the Internet and download the latest version of the system firmware and
then install it. If it cannot access the Internet directly (perhaps due to a web proxy or
other firewalls), then a page will be shown that causes your browser to download the
required file. Save this file to disk and then upload it as described in the next section,
Manual Upload.
Manual Upload
Enter the name of the firmware file that you downloaded from StarTech.com into
the field provided (or use the Browse... button). Press Start Upload and wait until a
successful upload message is shown.
NOTE: Remember the following during the firmware upgrade:
• Do NOT turn off power to the unit before this operation completes successfully.
• The unit will sometimes reboot as part of the upgrade procedure, depending on
which system component is upgraded. You will have to reconnect and re-login in
those cases.
• Wait at least two minutes after pressing Start. Do not assume the upload did not
work, the upload could simply be slow.
• Each distributed file upgrades a different component of the system. Be sure to apply
all files provided as part of an upgrade. The system knows what to do with each file
you give it, and they are checked for validity before being applied.
Auto Self Upgrade
Clicking the Upgrade to latest button will automatically download and install
necessary revisions. To download upgrades for manual installation, please click on Get
latest version.
