Upgrading Tips
If you have a number of installed units to upgrade you may not need to move them in order to
upgrade.
Example: To upgrade a number of Local Units installed in a rack you may find it much
faster to bring a Remote Unit & USB KB into the same room as the Local Units. To upgrade
each Local Unit in turn simply connect a patch cable from the Remote to the Local Unit and
then enter the Upgrade Mode entry sequence on the Remote KB. Now, with the aid of a flash
drive (or upgrade file located on a shared drive), you may simply upgrade the Local Unit (by
dragging the file on to the extender drive) and then delete the BOOT file before moving on to
the next unit.
Example: To upgrade a number of Remote Units you may find it much faster to use a
patch cable to connect (in turn) each Remote Unit to a nearby notebook which has a Local
Unit connected.
