Stage D - Reconnect the AdderView Omega and reboot
1 Using one of the KVM cable sets, connect the keyboard port from
channel 1 of your AdderView Omega to the keyboard socket of
the computer from which you will run the upgrade (your
AdderView Omega may already be connected in this manner).
Disconnect the keyboard connection from the other computer to
channel 2 or alternatively, switch off the other computer.
Link the channel 1 keyboard port to
the keyboard socket of the PC that will
be used to run the upgrade
2 On the computer from which you will run the upgrade, ensure
that its BIOS settings will allow it to boot from the floppy diskette
drive, rather than booting immediately from the hard drive.
3 With the upgrade diskette installed in the drive, switch off the
computer. On your AdderView Omega, hold down the Omega
button while you switch on the computer. As soon as the two
indicators on the AdderView Omega begin to flash, release the
Omega button and allow the computer to boot from the floppy
diskette and automatically perform the flash upgrade. The
upgrade process should take no more than two to three minutes
and a progress indicator will be displayed on screen. Once the
upgrade is complete, your AdderView Omega will change into
normal operation and only the channel one indicator will be lit.
4 Reconnect your AdderView as usual.
Temporarily disconnect
the channel 2 keyboard
connector, or switch off
the second system.
