The firmware upgrade file for the master KVM alsocontains the firmware for the SIUs, so you do not needseparate files for each SIU. Once you have uploaded themost current KVM firmware, the most current SIU firmware isavailable via the Upgrade Adapters sub-section.Note: Only those SIUs that are directly connected to the master KVMswitch can be upgraded. SIUs that are connected to cascaded KVMs willnot be upgradeable via the master KVMs Maintenance section.To upgrade the firmware to the connected SIUs, follow thesteps below.1.
