Troubleshooting
Question: Why are there ghost images on my External Console DVI/VGA
Display?
Answer: The distance between the RKCOND17HD unit and your External
Console DVI/VGA Display may be too great. Use the shortest cable possible for
your application. If you are already using the shortest cable length then attempt
to connect using a new cable. Another option is to use a higher quality cable.
Question: Some of the characters I enter from the keyboard are not displaying
properly. What is causing this issue?
Answer: The keyboard layout setting for the port does not match the keyboard
you are using. On your switch, change the keyboard layout setting for the port
to match the layout of the keyboard you are using.
Question: Why does my Sun keyboard not work with RKCOND17HD?
Answer: Use the Sun keyboard emulation keystrokes to achieve all Sun
keyboard functions. See Keyboard Emulation section for more information.
Firmware Upgrade
Note: Only attempt a rmware upgrade when prompted to do so by the
StarTech.com support team.
Accessing the Firmware Upgrade Mode
The RKCOND17HD rmware upgrade mode can be accessed one of two ways:
by entering a hotkey sequence (see Hotkeys - Page 20), or by placing the
RKCOND17HD in rmware upgrade recovery mode (see Firmware Upgrade
Switch - Page 24).
23
To view manuals, videos, drivers, downloads, technical drawings, and more visit www.startech.com/support
Firmware Upgrade Switch
During normal operation and while performing a rmware upgrade, this switch
should be in the NORMAL position. If a rmware upgrade operation does
not complete successfully, toggle the switch to the RECOVER position. When

Firmware Upgrade package. Instructions will be included with the download.
Firmware Upgrade Recovery
There are three conditions that call for rmware upgrade recovery:
• When the unit’s rmware becomes corrupted for some reason and you are
unable to operate it.
• When a rmware upgrade procedure is interrupted.
• When a rmware upgrade procedure fails.
To perform a rmware upgrade recovery, do the following:
1. Power o the RKCOND17HD Console by toggling the Power Switch to the
O position.
2. Connect the Firmware Upgrade Cable to the Firmware Upgrade Port.
Note: Do not connect the RJ-11 connector on the Firmware Upgrade
Cable to any type of telephone network.
Remarque : Ne branchez pas le connecteur RJ-11 du câble de mise à
niveau du micrologiciel à n'importe quel type de réseau téléphone.
3. Slide the Firmware Upgrade Switch to the RECOVER position.
4. Power on the RKCOND17HD Console by toggling the Power Switch to the
On position.
5. Repeat the Firmware Upgrade Procedure.
