Copying the System Software Files to a USB Flash Drive

As the UX5000 system uses a USB flash drive/stick for software upgrades, it is possible to receive or
download a compressed file from NEC containing the system software. The following information details the
steps required to update the system software.
Requirements
●
Customer Provided: USB Flash Drive/Stick (32MB minimum capacity - FAT format).
It is recommended when using a USB flash drive to install it in the CCPU with the system power
turned off. Certain flash drives may cause the system to reset if inserted with the power on.
●
UX5000 System Software Zip File. There are two separate files - one for systems with a MEMDB daught
board installed, one for systems without a MEMDB daughter board. Be sure to use the correct software
for your system. In the future, the zip file will include the files for both types, but you should only copy to
the USB flash drive the files for your system type (MEMDB or No MEMDB).
●
Any .zip-compatible program for decompressing the file (for example: WinZip)
1. After receiving the compressed system software file, it must be unzipped using the .zip decompression
application. The following steps detail the WinZip process.
●
If the file was received by EMail, detach the zip file to your computer.
2. Locate the zip file on your computer and double-click on the file.
●
The file opens the WinZip application and displays a list of the compressed files.
3. Click ACTIONS - EXTRACT or click the EXTRACT button on the tool bar.
4. In the Extract window that appears, make sure the USE FOLDER NAMES options is checked. This is
required to keep the proper paths for the files as they are extracted.
5. Select the location to which the files should be extracted and click the EXTRACT button.
●
Suggestion: You may want to create a directory in which all UX5000 software can be kept (with a
sub-directory for the version type - example: UX5000_Software/1_01). This allows you to keep the
original source files for future use, if required.
6. Place the USB flash drive to be used for the update into an available USB port in the PC.
7. Double-click on MY COMPUTER and then double-click on the USB flash drive.
●
The contents of the USB flash drive should be displayed.
