ERFORMING A

If something is wrong with the system's software or the site needs a software update without any network
connectivity, swapping the micro-SD card gives the system a fresh copy of the latest software. The process for
changing out the SD card is involved and does require cutting the warranty seal to open the system; ensure that
Sterisil Customer Service has been notified that the SD card is being changed out before beginning so that they
can note in the customer account that the warranty is still valid.

Tools needed:

¾ open end wrench
P2 Philips screwdriver
2.5 mm Allen wrench (If available t-handle)
7mm socket or nut driver
Adjustable crescent wrench
Latex gloves
Grounding strap (if one is available)

Steps to perform the SD card swap:

If the software is not frozen, record the system logs and cartridge life as once the software is replaced it will not
be transferred to the new SD card.
Power down the system by:
If possible, navigate to the Settings -> Sterisil tab.
Tap the bar in the center of the screen to bring up the keyboard and then type "$terisil1" and then press OK.
In the bottom right corner tap the shutdown button and wait for the system screen to turn off.
Wait about a minute after the screen turns off to unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.
If the software is in a frozen state, power down the system by unplugging the power cable from the wall
outlet.
Use the ¾ open end wrench to undo the latches that keep the system closed. The latches are located on the top
back left and right edges of the system.
Rotate the wrench clockwise from 11 o'clock to approximately 3 o'clock until the latch will not turn anymore.
Use the palm of your hand on the top edge of the faceplate above the screen to push back the faceplate and
reduce tension on the latches. The latches may fall back out of the way on their own, or you may need to use
your other hand to push the latch back.
Use a small blade to cut the warranty sticker that is on the back edge or left side of the faceplate. Once this is
done, pull down the faceplate towards you. It is hinged to the base plate and will not fall if let go.
