SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION:  5.1

SUPERSEDES: SP29029 and SP30131 

DESCRIPTION: This firmware is not an enhancement to the 1x4 KVM switch. This FW version 1.3.121 includes the same functionality as in the previous v1.2.111. 

SP31087 is to accommodate a new ASIC for new product builds. This FW is backward compatible with the older ASIC as well.

The new FW functionality is the same as the previous Softpaq SP30131 Firmware V1.2.111 which fixes intermittant mouse/keyboard functionality and upgrades the HP 1x4 USB/PS2 Kvm Switch from firmware version v1.1.105 and earlier to make it ILo compatible.  

HOW TO USE:
Note: Before you begin:

1.From a Windows OS platform computer that is ***NOT*** part of the KVM installation, download 
  the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is 
  downloaded is an executable with a filename according to the SP Number above.  SP31087

2. Power off the switch.
   a. Unplug the KVM cables from the back of the switch.
   b. Unplug the power cable from the power jack on the switch rear panel.

3. Use the Serial to RJ-11 firmware upgrade cable provided with the unit to connect a COM port 
   on the computer used in step 1 to the Firmware Upgrade port on the switch rear panel.

4. Slide the Firmware Upgrade Switch on the back of the unit to the UPGRADE position.

5. Power on the switch by plugging in one of the KVM cables. The switch front panel LED's 
   flash to indicate that it is in the Firmware Upgrade mode.

6. Execute the HP 1x4SW USB&PS2_V1.3.121.exe 
   file and follow the on-screen instructions.   

Note: See the HP 1x4 USB/PS2 KVM Switch Documentation CD that came with your switch for 
      detailed instructions and diagrams for upgrading. Go to 'HP 1x4 USB/PS2 KVM Switch 
      User Guide' then to 'Chapter 4: Firmware Upgrade Utility'.
