Reverting To A Previous Software Version - Lexicon 960L V3.0 - INSTALLATION AND RELEASE NOTES REV 4 Installation Instructions Manual

960L Software Version 3.0

REVERTING TO A PREVIOUS SOFTWARE VERSION

To revert to a previous software version, follow the instructions on pages 4 to 6 using the release CD
for the desired software version. There is one special consideration: When upgrading to Software
Version 3.0, the software recognizes previous versions of user registers and automatically converts
them to a compatible format. However, when reverting to a previous software version, the software
cannot recognize later versions of user registers or convert them to a compatible format.
Therefore, when reverting to a previous software version:
1. Save all user registers to a disk, noting the current software version.
2. Using the front panel standby button, power cycle the 960L.
3. As soon as the LARC2 receives power, press the PROGRAM and MACHINE buttons on the LARC2
to enter Menu Mode. The 960L will take a little longer to re-start than normal. When it starts, the
960L Boot Menu (shown below) will appear on the LARC2 display. (Ignore any messages that
concern locking the CD.)
1) Run 960L
2) Update 960L Software
3) Update LARC2 Boot ROM
4) Update LARC2 Software
5) 960L Diagnostics
6) Restore Factory Default Settings
7) Erase User Registers, Sessions & Restore Factory Default Settings
8) Copy internal log to Floppy
4. Select option 7, Erase User Registers, Sessions & Restore Factory Default Settings. The screen
shown below will appear.
Restore Factory Default Settings and Delete User Items
Press 1 <ENTER> to execute
Press 0 <ENTER> to return to the main menu without changes.
5. Press the 1 button, then the ENTER button on the LARC 2 to select the first option. When the
process is complete, the 960L Boot Menu (shown above) will appear on the LARC2 display.
6. Insert the software release CD for the desired software version in the 960L disk drive. Follow
the installation instructions outlined on pages 4 to 6. A few messages will differ slightly. When
checking the software version (see step 7 on page 6), please refer to the release notes for the
software version being installed to determine software revisions for the 960L and the LARC2.
