Enabling automatic interface adapter firmware upgrades
For HP IP Console Switches with Virtual Media, you can set the console switch to upgrade the interface
adapter firmware automatically.
1. Select Interface Adapters.
2. Enable the Enable Auto-Upgrade for all Interface Adapters checkbox.
3. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Manually loading and upgrading the interface adapter firmware
The interface adapter firmware can be loaded individually from the Settings tab, or it can be upgraded
simultaneously from the Tools tab ("Using the Tools tab" on page 67). When a load is initiated, a
message appears, indicating the current status. When a load is in progress, you cannot initiate another.
NOTE: This method of loading the interface adapter firmware will always overwrite the current version of
firmware in the interface adapter. HP recommends using the Tools tab to upgrade your interface adapter
