Immediately after you answer the second prompt with
RBC reset pushbutton. This resets the RBC and begins the transfer to
the new operating system that you are downloading.
Pressing the reset button when the system is operating causes the RBC to be
logged off the system and may change the output states of the output modules
in the base. Inadvertently logging the RBC off the system or changing output
states can cause unpredictable process operation.
Unpredictable process operation can cause death or serious injury to
personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
Do not reset your RBC unless you are prepared for the consequence of
disrupting I/O communication.
NOTE: The download of the operating system firmware takes approximately
2 minutes to complete. The RBC LED blinks, and Percent Complete displays
on the PC.
When the download is complete, the RBC automatically reboots itself and is
ready to communicate.
