Firmware Upgrades
Chapter 7
Upgrade Terminal Firmware by Using Firmware Upgrade Card
Follows these steps to transfer firmware files from the USB flash drive or SD card
to the terminal. This is the firmware upgrade card created in the previous section.
1. Insert the USB flash drive or SD card into the appropriate slot on your terminal.
The firmware upgrade automatically starts and displays
this dialog box.
2. Press Upgrade or [F7] on the terminal to start the
firmware upgrade.
The terminal restarts and displays a progress bar during
the upgrade.
When the upgrade is complete, the terminal restarts,
executing the new firmware.
3. Remove the USB flash drive or SD card from the terminal.
IMPORTANT
• Do not remove or accidently disconnect the USB flash drive or SD card while
a firmware upgrade is in process. This could corrupt the firmware and make
the terminal unstable.
• Do not power off the terminal during a firmware upgrade.
• USB hubs can produce unexpected behavior and are not recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the firmware upgrade fails because of a power loss or the firmware upgrade
card is inadvertently removed, you can restore the terminal to the factory
default firmware. Refer to
Access Maintenance Operations on page 170
for
details on how to restore the factory default settings.
