Stage C - Reconfigure the LOCAL connections and begin
1 On the computer from which you will run the upgrade, ensure that its BIOS
settings will allow it to boot from the floppy diskette drive, rather than
booting immediately from the hard drive.
2 Switch off the computer and disconnect the twisted pair cable from the
LOCAL module.
3 On the multi-cable, leave the
keyboard connector attached
to the keyboard port of the
computer. Disconnect the
multi-cable video and mouse
connectors from the ports on
the computer.
4 So that you can check upgrade
progress, connect a monitor
directly to the video port of the
computer.
5 On the LOCAL module, change switch 1 to the ON position. Ensure that the
upgrade diskette is in the floppy disk drive of the computer.
6 Switch on the computer. The upgrade process will start automatically and
confirmation will be given on screen.
7 Switch off the computer and disconnect the multi-cable. Leave the monitor
connected and the upgrade diskette in the floppy disk drive. Return LOCAL
switch 1 to the OFF position.
Now please follow Stage D.
Stage D - Reconfigure the REMOTE connections and begin
1 Disconnect all cables from the REMOTE module and take it to the computer.
2 Use a ‘KVM switch-type’
keyboard cable (6pin mini-DIN
male to 6pin mini-DIN male plugs
with all lines connected) - not
supplied. Attach one end of the
cable to the keyboard port of the
computer. Connect the other end
of the cable to the keyboard port
of the REMOTE module. This is
the only connection required.
3 On the REMOTE module, change
switch 1 to the ON position.
4 Attach the power supply unit to the POWER input of the REMOTE module
and connect the mains lead to a nearby wall socket.
5 Switch on the computer. The upgrade process will start automatically and
confirmation will be given on screen.
6 Switch off the computer and disconnect the REMOTE module. Return
REMOTE switch 1 to the OFF position.
Now please follow Stage E.
