1. Exchanging the Monitor PROM
The exchange of the CPU card’s Monitor PROM is only necessary on AWS 900 Classic consoles. The Monitor PROM
on the AWS 900+ CPU already incorporates AWS Logictivity support.
The instructions on exchanging the Monitor PROM are intended for technically competent personnel. To
reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform the upgrade unless you are competent to do so. If you
would prefer an SSL technician to complete the upgrade, please contact your local SSL distributor or
office.
Disconnect the power cord before removing any panels or modules.
Take basic antistatic precautions. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components, even
if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.
Please note that the console will not boot fully after the new Monitor PROM is installed. However, the console’s
processor will boot into a basic download mode allowing the new SE Logictivity software to be transferred.
1) Grasp an exposed metal part of the AWS chassis with your bare hand to discharge any static charge you may have
accumulated.
2) Unplug the mains power cord at the rear of the console. Wait 10 seconds to allow any residual charge in the
console’s electronics to decay.
3) Working from the rear, using the Pozidrive screw driver supplied with the console, remove the four screws securing
the top trim. Remove the top trim.
