Upgrading Firmware

Use the Firmware Upgrade page to upgrade the firmware for your Dominion KSX and all attached CIMs. This page is available in the Dominion KSX Remote Console only.

Important: Do not turn off your Dominion KSX or disconnect CIMs while the upgrade is in progress - doing so will likely result in damage to the device or CIMs.

To upgrade your Dominion KSX:

  1. Locate the appropriate Raritan firmware distribution file (*.RFP), found on the Raritan Firmware Upgrades webpage: and download the file.
  2. Unzip the file. Read all instructions included in the firmware ZIP files carefully before upgrading.
  3. Copy the firmware update file to a local PC before uploading. Do not load the file from a network drive.
  4. Choose Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade. The Firmware Upgrade page opens.

  5. Click the Browse button to navigate to the directory where you unzipped the upgrade file.
  6. Select the "Review CIM Version Information?" checkbox if you would like information displayed about the versions of the CIMs in use.
  7. Click Upload from the Firmware Upgrade page. Information about the upgrade and version numbers is displayed for your confirmation (if you opted to review CIM information, that information is displayed as well).

    Note: At this point, connected users are logged off and new login attempts are blocked.

  8. Click Upgrade and wait for the upgrade to complete. Status information and progress bars are displayed during the upgrade. Upon completion of the upgrade, the device reboots (1 beep sounds to signal the reboot).
  9. As prompted, close the browser and wait approximately 5 minutes before logging on to the Dominion KSX again.
