By plugging a keyboard to a CMS server and pressing CTRL-ALT-Backspace, you can leave the GUI mode and enter into the text console to make some basic management. After you set configurations here, those changes will take effect after the system restarts.

3. System Update

Upload system update file or patch (.psu) file from a USB storage device. Contact your reseller for these files, store them in a USB flash disk (FAT32) and insert the USB storage device into a CMS server' USB socket. You can upload files here or from the Web Manager.
