Forcing Software in CP-100
The following procedure is for CP-100 consoles where the operator wishes to force a new version of
software into the console.
Symptom:
The CP-100 console will appear not to take disk loaded with software.
Caution: The following solution and procedure should only be taken as an
Absolute last resort.
If you are sure that the software on the disk is perfect and that the disk
itself is perfect then proceed with the following solution. Once the
procedure is started the software on the disk is ‘forced’ into the board’s
non-volatile memory. If the software is corrupted then you will be
‘forcing’ corrupt software into the console with the consequential results.
You have been warned.
Solution: Perform the following steps.
1. With the console off, load disk into disk drive.
2. Power up the console. The words “Powering up” will appear in the display.
3. When the words “CP100” appear press the button marked “copy”. You have 1
second after the words “CP100” appears to press the “copy” button.
4. The display will then read:
“validating software files”
followed by “copying software files”
followed by “successful….loading software”
5. If at any stage, the copying of the software files from the disk is
aborted, then you will need to perform a clearing of the non volatile memory. This
procedure is detailed in a separate document.
6. Once the software is successfully loaded you will get the Main Menu
screen on the display.
