10.11.2 OmniScan MX Start-Up

The OmniScan logo is displayed with the BIOS version and an exclamation point (!),
but the OmniScan MX fails to start.
Possible cause
A CompactFlash memory card containing files necessary for the old BIOS version has
been used in the OmniScan MX, and the BIOS is in monitor mode.
Solution
Update the BIOS version as follows:
1. Insert a CompactFlash memory card containing valid OmniScan software into a
memory card reader connected to a computer.
2. On the memory card, search for a directory named Run the Fix for old BIOS.
3. Run the Reset CMOS.cmd program to create the necessary files on the memory
card.
4. Start the OmniScan MX with the memory card. You should see the exclamation
point (!) displayed, but nothing else.
This operation resets the CMOS parameters.
5. Take the memory card out of the OmniScan MX and reinsert it into the reader.
6. Search for the directory named Run the Fix for old BIOS.
7. Run the Undo Reset CMOS.cmd program to remove unnecessary files on the
memory card.
8. Start the OmniScan MX with the memory card.
The instrument should now start normally.
