Chapter 12: Firmware Upgrade 
 

In order to upgrade your P2-HubPac, it must be running at version 0C6 
or later. To upgrade it, you must obtain a USB-to-RS485 cable (model: 
P2-IAPCIM) from Raritan. If you don’t have the cable, please contact 
Raritan Technical Support. A special USB-to-RS485 driver is also 
needed and can be obtained from Raritan Technical Support. 

Different from other Paragon II devices, the firmware upgrade of the 
HubPac requires the same upgrade operation to be performed 8 times 
on the same HubPac device. This is because the HubPac contains 8 
five-port clusters and each cluster needs to be upgraded one after 
another. 

The following diagram illustrates a five-port cluster, where x indicates the 
cluster number. 

 

 

Firmware upgrade of the HubPac covers these major steps: 

  STEP (A): Get the latest firmware, driver and release notes 

  STEP (B): Connect one cluster of the HubPac to the PC 

  STEP (C): Install the USB-to-RS485 driver on the PC 

  STEP (D): Launch the Paragon Update utility (version 2.4.4 

or later) 

  STEP (E): Repeat STEP 2 and STEP 4 for the other clusters
