The installation Secure Digital (SD) cards that you receive work with any
Dynamix 2500 data collector. Once you have installed an extension module on a
the data collector, the card is locked so that it can be used only with that
instrument.
IMPORTANT
You can uninstall extension modules, if required. When uninstalling an extension
module, you have the option to free up the license so that it can be used to install
the extension module on another data collector. This allows the extension
module to be transferred between units.
IMPORTANT

2. Place the extension module SD card contact-side-up into the unit until it is
firmly seated in place.
3. Close the base cover.
4. Apply power to the data collector.

One installation SD card is required for each instrument that needs to
be upgraded.
When ever you re-run the OS Loader software, you will re-load only the
main OS firmware. The OS loader will backup licence files and data, but
not the optional extension modules. Once you have updated the OS
firmware, install the latest version of your optional extension modules.
