FLASH Upgradable

You can upgrade your firmware at any time through a simple update utility to ensure that your

Console Switch system is always running the most current version available. Both the Console

Switch and the SIPs are FLASH upgradable. See "Appendix A: Flash Upgrades" for more

information.

Tiering Expansion

Each Console Switch supports up to 16 directly attached servers and can conveniently scale to

support more. You can expand your system by tiering with Console Switches and legacy analog

Console Switches. This extra “tier” of units allows you to attach up to 256 servers in one system.

See "Tiering Console Switches" for more information.
