6.1 Updating the KVM s3 Client
For optimal operation of the switching system, make sure that you have the latest
version of KVM s3 Client available from the Fujitsu Siemens Web site.
Go to http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support/ and download the update file.
Double-click on the installer. The installer determines if a previous version of the
software resides on the computer.
Complete one of the following steps:
• If no previous version has been detected and a window opens to confirm the
upgrade, click Continue.
• If a previous version is detected and a window opens alerting you to another
version of the product, click Overwrite to confirm the upgrade.
•Click Cancel to exit without upgrading the software.
Installation starts. The Program Files, Shortcuts, Environment Variables, and the
Registry Entries (for Windows operating systems), are installed or overwritten with
the new files and settings of the current version.
6.2 Virtual media
6.2.1 Virtual media and USB 2.0 constraints
The virtual media feature of KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances enables you to
connect to the USB port of an attached computer. With this feature, a user located at the
appliance or using the remote software can access a local USB storage device, such as
a USB CD drive, diskette drive, or flash drive, from an attached computer.
The KVM s3-Adapter USB2 VGA is a composite device that addresses four functions:
keyboard, mouse, CD drive, and mass storage device. The CD drive and mass storage
device will be present on the target device whether or not a virtual media session is
mapped. If a media device is not mapped, it is shown without media present. When a
virtual media device is mapped to the target device, the target device will be notified that
media has been inserted. When the media device is unmapped, the target device will be
notified that the media was removed. Therefore, the USB virtual device is not
disconnected from the target device.
The KVM s3-Adapter USB2 VGA presents the keyboard and mouse as a composite
USB 2.0 device. Therefore the BIOS must support composite USB 2.0 human interface
device (HID). If the BIOS of the connected computer does not support this type of
device, the keyboard and mouse might not work until the operating system loads USB
2.0 device drivers. If this occurs, there might be a BIOS update provided by the
computer manufacturer that will provide BIOS support for a USB 2.0 connected
keyboard and mouse.
