Firmware Upgrades
The XtremeRGB-Ex8 card allow firmware upgrade to be completed on site rather than returning the
card to EMS. Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed, LK4 MUST BE FITTED on the
XtremeRGB-Ex8. To perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the
upgrade application.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power
outage) it is possible to revert to the factory settings by powering down the system, temporarily
removing LK4 then powering up the system with the link removed. Once the system has rebooted,
replace the LK4 link (whilst the system is powered up) and restart the firmware upgrade process.
It should be noted that the driver installation program (Version 01.07.00 and above) includes an
automatic firmware update, if required. Therefore, prior to installing the application and driver,
ensure that LK4 is fitted.
Software Installation

with your card into your CD ROM drive. The installation process should start automatically.
