6.1 PCI-16 adaptability

The PCI-16 card is designed to be firmware upgradable by users, should this ever
become necessary to keep up with new developments in the specification for the PCI bus.
Do not attempt to do such an upgrade without the approval of Instrutech Corporation or
one of its authorized agents. If this upgrade is performed improperly, the PCI-16
card will malfunction and become unusable.
First you must acquire the proper upgrade software from Instrutech Corporation or one of
its representatives. These upgrades will be announced on the Instrutech mailing list (See
previous section of this manual) and on our Web site. The cover of the computer must be
removed to access the PCI-16 card in order to install a jumper. This jumper should be
installed across the pins labeled "WE". Install this shunt with the computer powered off.
After this shunt is installed power on the computer and run the software for your system.
Update software will be made available in MacOS and DOS formats. The DOS program
will run under Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Windows NT users will need to boot their
computer in DOS mode to perform this upgrade. After the software is run is should give
you a successful completion message. The computer should then be powered down and
the jumper removed from the "WE" pins. Close the computer and turn the power back
on. The update has now been completed.
If there is any difficulty in this process, please contact your dealer.
