Upgrading UMIQ modules
The UMIQ moduleFlash upgrade feature allows appliance administrators to update UMIQ modules
with the latest firmware available.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the appliance performs a soft reset,
which terminates all UMIQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an UMIQ
modulefirmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will
appear normally when the Flash update is completed.
UMIQ modules are automatically updated when the appliance is updated. To update your
appliance firmware, see Firmware on page 80.
If issues occur during the normal upgrade process, UMIQ modules may also be force upgraded
when needed.
NOTE: Check www.avocent.com for firmware upgrade files.
To upgrade the UMIQ module firmware:
1. From the sidebar, click Targets - KVM Management to open the UMIQ module screen.
2. Select the checkbox next to the UMIQ moduleyou wish to upgrade, and click Upgrade.
CAUTION: Disconnecting an UMIQ moduleduring a firmware update or cycling power to the target device
will render the module inoperable and require the IQ module to be returned to the factory for repair.
