Figure 6-39. Update Firmware
The ASMI module is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called the firmware. The
firmware of the ASMI module can be updated remotely in order to install new functionality, bug fixes or
special features.
New releases of the ASMI G4 module firmware are available from http://support.raritan.com by
searching for Raritan ASMI G4 Module. If the firmware file is a compressed file with suffix
.zip you
have to unzip it before you can proceed. In order to extract the archive you may use WinZip from
http://www.winzip.com/ (for Windows OS) or a tool named unzip that might be already provided
by your OS (UNIX, Linux, OS X).
Before you can start updating the firmware of your ASMI module the new and uncompressed firmware
file has to be accessible on the system that you use for connecting to the ASMI module.
Updating the firmware is a three-stage process:
1. The new firmware file needs to be uploaded to the ASMI module. In order to do that you need to
select the file on your local system using the button "Browse" of the Upload Firmware panel (see
Figure 6-39 ). Then click "Upload" to transfer the selected file from your local file system to the
ASMI module. Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it is checked whether it is a valid firmware
