Step 7
If you have checked the “Check Firmware Version” checkbox, then the utility will
check the current firmware that is on your KVM. If the current firmware is newer
than the firmware that you wish to upgrade to, a window will pop up and ask if you
wish to proceed. Simply click “Yes” to start the upgrade or “No” to cancel
the upgrade.
Note: If you did not check the “Check Firmware Version” checkbox, utility will
perform the upgrade automatically independent of what version firmware you have
installed currently.
Step 8
When the firmware upgrade is complete, you will see “Firmware upgrade
OK” in the “Status Messages” window. Simply click “Finish” to complete
the firmware upgrade process.
Final Step
Now the KVM will reset by itself and it will be ready for use after the reset.
Note: The firmware upgrade tool is only for Windows OS.
5
The Window-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a smooth,
automated process for upgrading the GCS62DP firmware.
Note: In order to perform a firmware upgrade, you need to use a computer that’s
not connected to the KVM.
Step 1
Connect a USB cable from any open USB port of the KVM to the USB port on the
computer. Connect the power adapter from your power outlet to the KVM.
Step 2
Go to www.iogear.com to download the latest available firmware or the specific
firmware that you wish to upgrade the KVM to.
Step 3
Shut down all the computers that are connected to the KVM. Start firmware
upgrade by invoking Firmware Upgrade Mode. (Please refer to Hotkey Summary
on page 7.) The top LEDs will flash together to indicate Firmware Upgrade Mode is
in effect.
Step 4
Extract the file with WinRAR or compatible software. Then double-click on the .exe
file to begin with the Firmware Upgrade Utility.
Step 5
The Firmware Upgrade Utility welcome screen appears. Read the License
Agreement and click “I Agree” then click “Next” if you wish to continue with the
firmware upgrade. Otherwise, click “Cancel” to exit.
Step 6
Choose the correct KVM that you wish to perform the firmware upgrade on from the
“Device List” and then click “Next” to continue. The Firmware Upgrade Utility will
then verify if there is a KVM connected to the computer by the firmware upgrade
cable. (Checking the Firmware Version checkbox is optional).
