• Copy the upgrade file to the root level of the USB
drive. Do not copy the upgrade file into a folder.
• Upgrades can take several minutes to complete.
Do not turn the switcher power off during the
upgrade.
•If CRITICAL UPGRADE is displayed, the switcher
is performing an upgrade that includes low-level
software components. This does not indicate a
problem with your switcher.
Completing a Software Upgrade
When the software upgrade is complete, the menu
displays a message indicating the software upgrade
was successful, the Upgrade LED on the rear of the
switcher turns off, and the switcher performs an
automatic restart.
Once the switcher restarts, it is ready to use. You can
safely remove the USB drive.
Note:
• If you are upgrading a switcher as a result of a
corrupt configuration or a previously failed
upgrade, you may need to reconfigure the network
address and reload switcher memories.
