Instructions:

Note: This firmware update will NOT erase your current configuration settings, and so will

NOT require you to save and restore your configuration. However, we still recommend saving

your configuration settings before updating firmware or making any major changes to your

configuration settings.

Note: You will NOT be required to restore your XMC-1 to factory settings after performing this

firmware update.

The firmware update will be provided in the form of two files:

•

The instruction file you are now reading (XMC-1_v30_update.pdf ).

•

The firmware update file itself (XMC-1_v30_update.zip).

Note: Your XMC-1 may be updated from any standard USB "thumb drive". The USB drive you use

should be at least 1 gB in size, and should be formatted using a standard FAT32 format; avoid

multiple partitions or drives with permanently installed management software, and place the

file in the main folder on the drive. Either a USB drive formatted on a Windows computer or a

pre-formatted USB drive should work, and the file may be downloaded using either a Windows

or Apple computer, but USB drives formatted on Apple computers may not work.

If you wish to use a thumb drive formatted on an Apple computer to update your XMC-1, the

following Application Note (available for download from the same page where you downloaded

these instructions) will tell you how to change the settings on your Apple computer to allow it to

format a USB drive that can then be used to update your XMC-1:

Note: ALWAYS erase any previous XMC-1 update files from the USB drive before copying new

ones to it - having multiple different firmware update files in the main folder of the same drive

may result in unpredictable behavior.

Note: DO NOT remove the USB drive or power down the XMC-1 while the update is in progress.

Note: When this update is applied, CEC WILL BE DISABLED BY DEFAULT. If you use CEC, you will

need to re-enable it after applying this update. Since we have added several new CEC options,

you may also have to reset or adjust your CEC configuration options.
