Other ways to update your BrightSign software
1
Download the latest software.
a
Go to the BrightSign we
/support
.
b
Click the Software Downloads link.
c
Compare the software version number with the number on your BrightSign screen.
d
If your BrightSign software is older than the software on the web site, click the Software link
for the appropriate model (HD600 or HD2000) to download the latest software.
2
Extract the software update file onto your CF/SD card and give it one of the following
names:
• UPDATE.ROK: Use this file name if you want to auto-delete the update file after the
update is complete. This is useful when you want to distribute the update to the field on
the same CF/SD card that contains the presentation content. After the first boot, your
BrightSign automatically runs any auto-run content on the CF/SD card.
• UPDATE_SAVE.ROK: Use this file name if you want to keep the update file on the CF/SD
card after the update is complete. This is useful when you want to use the same CF/SD
card to update multiple BrightSigns.
• UPDATE_NEWER.ROK (HD2000 only): Use this file name if you want to apply the update
only if the version is newer than the version currently on your BrightSign. The update file
is not deleted.
• UPDATE_DIFFERENT.ROK (HD2000 only): Use this file name if you want to apply the
update only if the version does not match the version currently on your BrightSign. The
file is not deleted.

Insert the CF/SD card into your BrightSign and apply power.
• HD600: Wait for your BrightSign to boot. (The display will be blank.) After several seconds one
of the LEDs on the front panel starts to flash. When the LED stops flashing, the upgrade is
complete. If you’re using the UPDATE.ROK method, BrightSign reboots automatically.
• HD2000: Wait for your BrightSign to boot. (The display will be blank, but the LEDs on the front
panel light as the unit boots.) Wait for the red upgrade LED to light up. During the upgrade,
the connector activity LEDs turn on and off to indicate that the upgrade is in progress.
