Update Instructions
=============================================================
Please refer to your user manual for detailed instructions to update the
appliance.
Important Note:
1. If the appliance currently has a firmware version earlier than 3.2.0.17 (or
3.6.2.17 for DSR 1020, DSR 2020, or DSR 4020 switches) then the
appliance must first be upgraded to 3.2.0.17 (or 3.6.2.17 for DSR 1020,
DSR 2020, or DSR 4020 switches) before it can be updated with this
newest version.
2. Attaching the DSRIQ-VMC module to a Windows target may require the
USB CCID driver to be installed. If the user is prompted by the Windows
‘New Hardware Wizard’ the ‘Next’ button should be pressed.
3. For Avocent Power Management Distribution Units (PM™ 2003, 2006,
2024, 3003, 3006, and 3024 PDUs), PDU v110 firmware or higher is

If the green power LED on the front and back panel of the DSR switch blinks
continuously, the switch is in recovery mode. Use the following steps to recover
from a failed FLASH upgrade:
1. Set up the TFTP server with server IP address 10.0.0.3.
2. Rename the flash update file to the appropriate filename from the following list
and place it into the appropriate directory on the TFTP server.
Switch Filename

DSR 1024 DSR1024.fl
DSR 1031 DSR1031.fl

NOTE: If you do not have a TFTP server, there are several shareware and
freeware programs on the Internet that you can download and install.
