will correspond to the change. See “RESET STATION IDS” on page 11.
Hot Plugging KVM server ports.
Add servers by plugging the custom cable from the server into an available KVM port on the KVM Rack LCD or KVM station. (Remove servers by unplugging them from the
and “F4: ADM” on page 10 for more information.
Port Selection
The KVM Rack LCD provides three port selection methods to access the servers on installation:
• Manual - See “Manual port switching.” on this page.
• Menu system - See “On Screen Display (OSD) Operation” on page 8.
• Hotkeys - See “Keyboard Port Operation” on page 13.
Manual port switching.
Use the UP and DOWN Port ID and Station ID selection buttons (see page 3 for the
location) to change the focus of the KVM Rack LCD or KVM station to any port on the installation. Clicking repeatedly on either the UP or DOWN Port ID or Station ID selection buttons cycles through the list of available ports or stations.
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port in the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is made up of the Station Number and the Port Number.
Example: A server attached to Port 6 of Station 12 has a Port ID of 12-06.
• The Station Number is a two digit number that signifies the position of the KVM Rack LCD or a
KVM station in the series. This number is displayed on the Station ID LED display of the KVM
Rack LCD. See “STATION ID LED display” on page 3 for more information.
• The Port Number is a two digit number of the port that a server is connected to on the KVM Rack
LCD or a KVM station in the series. This number is displayed on the Port ID LED display of the
KVM Rack LCD.
• Single digit Station and Port numbers (1-9) are presented in two digit form (01 through 09).
USB Peripheral Devices
The front panel USB port is available to connect a USB peripheral device (flash drive, CD-ROM drive, printer, etc.) to the KVM Rack LCD. Any server connected to the KVM Rack LCD station can access the USB peripheral on a one-at-a-time basis. The USB peripheral device is not available to servers on other KVM stations in the series.
The USB peripheral device is automatically detected on target servers when switching ports on the KVM Rack
LCD. For example, when switching from a server connected to port 1 to a server connected to port 2, the USB peripheral device automatically disconnects from the server on port 1 and connects to the server on port 2. Use
only cables listed in the table on page 3.

Firmware Upgrade Utility
Introduction
The purpose of the Windows-based firmware upgrade utility is to provide an automated process for upgrading the KVM Rack LCD and compatible adapter cable firmware. The program comes as part of a firmware upgrade package that is specific for each device.
Check www.apc.com regularly to find the latest information and firmware upgrade packages.
Downloading the Firmware Upgrade Package
To download the firmware upgrade package:
1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation, go to www.apc.com and enter the model name of your KVM Rack LCD for a list of available firmware upgrade packages.
2. Choose the firmware upgrade package that you wish to install (usually the most recent) and download it.
Preparation
1. Use the Firmware Upgrade Cable (provided) to connect a COM port on your computer to the
Firmware Upgrade Port of the KVM Rack LCD.
NOTE:
Cascaded stations will automatically receive the upgrade via the in-series connection cables.
3. Scroll down to FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Press the Enter key, then press the Y key to invoke the
Firmware Upgrade mode (see “FIRMWARE UPGRADE” on page 11).
NOTE:
During the upgrade, the port LEDs will flash on and off.
Start the Upgrade
1. Run the downloaded firmware upgrade file by double-clicking the file icon or opening a command line and entering the full path to the file.
2. Click Next to continue. The Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen appears. The devices capable of being upgraded are listed in the Device List panel.
3. If the Check Firmware Version box (from the Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen) is checked, the utility compares the device’s firmware version with the upgrade files. If the device’s version is newer, the utility lets you decide whether to continue. It the box is not checked, the utility performs the upgrade directly. Click Next to perform the upgrade.
Upgrade Succeeded
After the upgrade has completed, an UPGRADE SUCCEEDED screen appears to inform you that the procedure was successful. Click Finish to close the firmware upgrade utility.
Upgrade Failed
If the UPGRADE SUCCEEDED screen DOES NOT appear, the upgrade failed.
Firmware Upgrade Recovery
There are three conditions that call for firmware upgrade recovery:
• When the firmware upgrade is manually aborted.
• When the mainboard firmware upgrade fails.
• When the I/O firmware upgrade fails.
To perform a firmware upgrade recovery:
1. Shut off power to the KVM Rack LCD. If the KVM Rack LCD is part of a series of stations, disconnect it from the other KVM switches.
2. Connect the Firmware Upgrade Cable to the Firmware Upgrade Port.
3. Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch to the Recover position. See “FW UPGRADE
NORMAL / RECOVERY” on page 2 for the switch location.
5. Once the upgrade is successful, shut off power to the KVM Rack LCD. Slide the Firmware
6. If the KVM Rack LCD is part of a series of stations, reconnect it in the series.
7. Place the power switch on the back of the KVM Rack LCD in the ON position to apply power..
