Cause

This process should be used to try and recover an unresponsive KVM switch, such as after a failed firmware upgrade or corrupted firmware that causes the KVM not to boot.

Resolution

On the front panel, hold the pinhole Reset button and simultaneously power on the unit. See below for reference.





This will revert the KVM back to factory default firmware version and settings. The unit can then be upgraded to the newest firmware available, found on apc.com/support, through the local console or web interface.
