7.0 System Maintenance Features
System Maintenance features include Flash Memory Update and Restore Factory
Settings. These options require the system be taken out of service for
maintenance.
The System Setup options are also accessible from the Main Menu Screen, by
pressing the F1 key to access the System Setup submenu. System Options
include System Flash Memory Update (F) and Load Factory Settings (F12).
Other options listed there are for FUTURE USE and should not be attempted.
Caution: Do NOT use System Setup Options during normal operation, as these
can erase all user-entered data and will require a system power reset to restore
normal operation.
7.1 Setting Factory Defaults
If it becomes necessary to reset the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 to its factory-set
values, the users may do so from the
System Setup System Setup System Setup System Setup menu. The System must be
out of service during this procedure. All connections will be dropped, and all default
values will be restored. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
1. Access the System Setup System Setup System Setup System Setup menu by pressing Cntl-Cntl on any attached
keyboard, or pressing the Scroll Lock key twice.
2. Once at the System Setup System Setup System Setup System Setup menu, access the System Setup submenu by
pressing the <F1> <F1> <F1> <F1> key.
3. Press the <F12> <F12> <F12> <F12> key. You are prompted "Are You Sure?", and then press
the Y Y Y Y key to confirm that the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 parameters and server
port names should be set to the factory default values. If not, press 'N' to
exit this option.
4. The Display will change to 'Restoring Factory Defaults'. Then, the on-screen
menu will temporarily disappear, and reappear at the main on-screen menu
once the parameters are reset. The front LCD display will show "Save
Database" when it is completing the update.
The ServerSwitch will not be able to switch to another port or pass
keyboard/mouse signals during the reset to factory defaults.
7.2 Flash Update Procedure
The flash update feature allows the user to install newer versions of operating
software in the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 without removing the unit from its installation
(the system must be removed from service, however). New software revisions will
be released from time to time to add features to the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 or
make changes for customer requests. Note that the users will not be able to switch
server ports during the update. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.
