4 . Navigate to the folder where you saved the firmware upgrade file. Select the

firmware update
Once the status bar has progressed fully from left to right across the indicator
window, the firmware loader utility automatically resets the switcher
(figure 4-10).
N If the firmware loader utility exits before the status bar has progressed completely
across the indicator window, try using a control cable with only pins 2, 3, and 5
connected. If necessary, modify the cable by removing pins or cutting wires.
N If the firmware loader utility exits before the status bar has progressed completely
across the indicator window, the firmware may be corrupted and may no longer
respond to the Matrix Switchers Control Program. In this condition, the
firmware upload can be accomplished only by using the SIS commands. See
“Loading firmware using an SIS command” on page 4-11.
6 . When prompted, confirm that the firmware version displayed in the firmware
loader is correct. Click Ok in the Firmware Update prompt window to exit the
firmware loader utility.
