Firmware Updates
From time to time the 5000D Series’ internal “firmware” may need
updating to add new features or improve existing functions. Firmware is
easily updated by loading a “Firmware Update CD” into the system. The
latest version of firmware will be available for downloading to your
computer from the MediaFORM web site: www.mediaform.com
Once a firmware image file is downloaded, a “Firmware Update CD” can
then be written using a computer, a CD-R/RW recorder, and most popular
premastering programs (such as: Adaptec Easy CD Creator and Toast,
CeQuadrat WinOnCD, Ahead Nero, NTI CD-Maker, and others). Refer to
your premastering software documentation for details on how to record a
disc from an image file.
After having created a “Firmware Update CD”, perform the following steps
to update the 5000D Series’ firmware:
•
