the serial port ("Console switch components" on page 11) on the rear panel of the HP KVM Server

is not done until all updates have been loaded. When the firmware is updated, the following
message, indicating "Update Complete" appears.

The Interface Adapter firmware can be loaded individually ("Loading interface adapter firmware
individually" on page 42), or upgraded simultaneously ("Upgrading interface adapter firmware
