Upgrading SIP Firmware
To simultaneously upgrade multiple Server
Interface Pods (SIPs):
- Click the Tools tab in the Management
Panel (MP). The Tools dialog box appears.
- Click the Upgrade SIP Firmware button.
The Upgrade SIP Firmware dialog box appears.
- Click to enable the check box in front of each
type (PS/2 or USB) of SIP you wish to upgrade.
- Click Upgrade. The Upgrade
button dims. The Status
column will display either In Progress or
Succeeded, depending on the status
of each SIP upgrade. A Firmware upgrade currently
in progress message displays until all of the selected SIP
types are upgraded.
- When complete, a message appears prompting
you to confirm the upgrade completion. Once confirmed, the Upgrade button is enabled.
- Click Close to exit the Upgrade
Firmware window.
To upgrade SIP firmware individually:
- Click the Settings tab in the Management
Panel (MP).
- Select the SIPs sub-category under Versions
in the left column of the MP.
- Click the Electronic ID number (EID)
drop-down list and choose a SIP for which you wish to view firmware information.
The IDs displayed in the drop-down list are a combination of the EID and
either the server name or switch name, depending on what is attached to
the SIP. If the SIP is not attached to anything, the drop-down list will
display None. Once selected, the
firmware information appears in the Information box.
- Compare it to the
Firmware Available box
to view the firmware upgrade available to the SIP. If the SIP requires
upgrading, click the Load
Firmware button.
- The firmware upgrade begins. During the upgrade,
a progress message is displayed below the Firmware Available box
and the Load Firmware button will dim. When the
upgrade is finished, a message appears indicating that the
upgrade was successful.
- Repeat steps 2-5 for each SIP you wish to upgrade.
- When finished, click
OK.
