convert the binary code file to a down.shx format before you can download it to
Flash memory.

You must also use Config Pro to adjust the device's Device Properties so that
the new processor will run the converted code file.
If you are upgrading from a D20 ME with 1 MB Flash (Part # 526-2003), you
must modify the Device Properties of the new configuration in ConfigPro to
use the existing code file.
For more information on upgrading from earlier versions, refer to the D20
ME Processor Module Installation and Operations Guide.
