The SD Memory Card is now ready to use for firmware update.
(Refer to the SD Memory Card Firmware Writing Tool Readme File.)
2.11.6. Notice after installing the HDD option
After the Hard Disc Drive Unit is installed, to prevent a Disc Scan Function from being performed (similar
to when the power is abruptly interrupted to the PC), it is important to follow the step sequence below
when turing OFF the Power Switches on the machine.
1. Turn the Power Switch on the left side of the machine to the OFF ( ) position first.
2. Wait approximately 10 seconds while the machine writes the closing status onto the Hard Disc Drive
Unit.
3. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the machine to the OFF position.
2.11.7. Firmware Emergency Recovery
The easiest method to recover the firmware in an Emergency Recovery routine is to use the Master SD
Memory Card method. (Even the Master SD Memory Card includes all necessary firmware as a
package, only SC PCB Firmware can be recovered.)
If the unit does not boot up properly, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the power OFF.
Before proceeding to the next step, you must create the Master SD Memory Card (read the section
2.11.5. first).
2. Turn the power On while holding the "Energy Saver" key.
3. When the message "Selected Emergency Firmware Update" is on the LCD display, release the
"Energy Saver" key.
During the recovery mode, the LCD displays "Reading SC Firmware", "Writing SC Firmware",
and "SC Firmware updated has been completed". Then the machine reboots itself, and returns
to the standby mode.
After the SC Firmware recovering, if other firmware for EC, FCB, SCN PCBs, and PS option are
required, use the Master SD Memory Card to update the firmware by selecting the "Auto Mode" to the
required level. Refer to Section 2.11.4. (Updating the Firmware using the Master Firmware SD Memory
Card).
Note:
After the SC Firmware recovers, if the Error Code E5-12 or E5-13 is displayed, use the Master SD
Memory Card to update the firmware selecting the required firmware, EC, SCN, FCB or PS, refer to
Section 2.11.4. In this case, the Network update method can not be used.
