INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note:
Although the installer will preserve user registers, it is recommended to save them to
a floppy disk before making the upgrade. (See the section called Organizing Your
Registers in Chapter 4 of the owner's manual.) These saved user registers will be
compatible with the current version of software in the 960L. If necessary, saved user
registers can be loaded from the floppy disk to the Version 2.4 system. However, it is
recommended to save a copy of the current user registers in case it is ever desired to
revert the system back to its current version. (See Reverting to a Previous Software
Version on page 5.)
Performing this upgrade is a simple process. But to avoid problems, please follow the instructions
carefully. Pay particular attention to precautions that appear throughout this document.
Please note the following before proceeding to the steps below:
• The installation process requires the 960L serial number, which is located on the back of
the mainframe. The serial number consists of four digits, followed by a dash, followed
by four more digits. It is recommended to note this number before beginning
installation. (The unit will not ask to have the serial number re-entered if this process
was completed during a previous installation.)
• Refer to page 1-5 in the 960L Owner's Manual for instructions to open the 960L front panel.
• Use the front panel standby button whenever the instructions call for the 960L to be
powered up or down. Do not use the back panel power switch.
• The installation process will take approximately 15 minutes.
These service instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. Do not perform
