5.1.1 Upgrading the KVM s2-1602/0801

You can upgrade the firmware of your KVM s2-1602/0801 switch by using a spe-
cial update utility provided by Fujitsu Technology Solutions. This utility automati-
cally configures the port communications settings to allow direct downloading from
the connected server.
If you upgrade the appliance firmware, please verify the individual firmware of
the KVM s2-Adaptors. The upgrade of the adapters requires a separate upgrade
procedure which is found in Chapter 4.

5.1.1.1 Items needed for the upgrade

• Server running Windows NT®, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or
Win XP
• Available serial port (COM port) on the server
• Straight-through null modem serial cable (female) that connects the switch and
the server
• Firmware update

5.1.1.2 Upgrading firmware

Connect the standard serial cable to a COM port on the server and to the se-
rial connector on the back panel of the switch. Make a note of which COM port
you have chosen, then turn on the switch.
Go to the Fujitsu Technology Solutions web site to access the firmware
upgrade file. Once the download is complete, navigate to the drive where you
have saved the firmware update and unzip the file.
Double-click to run the file.
In the dialog box that displays, select the desired language and COM port.
Click Load.
Once the firmware is updated, the appliance symbol is checked green..
The switch automatically reboots after the upgrade is completed.
