IMPORTANT NOTE

The upgrade programs are DOS based to enable compatibility with the widest range of operating systems. They run efficiently on DOS, Windows 3.X, Workgroups, 95, 98, ME and Windows NT. The upgrades will take approximately 10 minutes but vary slightly according to the LINDY CPU Switch model and the speed of the PC. Upgrades run from PCs using Windows 2000 will take very substantially longer due to the way that this operating system handles the DOS programs. The upgrade will be reliable but may take around 3 hours to complete!

Follow the instructions given on the screen to perform the upgrade. When the upgrade is complete the program will confirm that the upgrade has been successful and then quit.

Step 7 - Switch the UPGRADE key to the OFF position and cycle the power

Switch the UPGRADE switch on the rear of the LINDY CPU Switch to the OFF position and disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the LINDY CPU Switch will operate using the new firmware.

Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades

The upgrade program rewrites the LINDY CPU Switch's firmware code. If the upgrade process is interrupted then the LINDY CPU Switch will have invalid code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should immediately repeat the upgrade process without moving switch 2 from the upgrade (ON) position. Switch 2 forces the LINDY CPU Switch into flash upgrade mode and prevents the upgraded code from being run. Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your LINDY CPU Switch or computing equipment. For obvious reasons, the code that the LINDY CPU Switch uses to perform upgrades is not itself upgradeable

-a common problem on some flash upgradeable products that could effectively be destroyed by a partial upgrade!

WARNING - Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your LINDY CPU Switch or computing equipment.
