Using the iKVM Module 309
6 Click Begin Firmware Update . A dialog box prompts you to
confirm the action.
7 Click Yes to continue. The Firmware Update Progress section provides
firmware update status information. A status indicator displays on the
page while the image file uploads. File transfer time can vary greatly
based on connection speed. When the internal update process begins,
the page automatically refreshes and the Firmware update timer displays.
Additional items to note:
• Do not use the
Refresh button or navigate to another page during the
file transfer.
• To cancel the process, click
Cancel File Transfer and Update - this
option is available only during file transfer.
• Update status displays in the
Update State field; this field is
automatically updated during the file transfer process. Certain older
browsers do not support these automatic updates. To manually refresh
the
Update State field, click Refresh .
NOTE: The update may take up to one minute for the iKVM.
When the update is complete, iKVM resets and the new firmware is updated
and displayed on the Updatable Components page.
