NOTE: By default, the monitor’s internal processor – which is required for firmware updating – is disabled. You must enable the processor before you can update the monitor firmware. In the OSD select Management > Manage Internal Processor and choose Enable to turn the processor on. If turning on just before attempting to update the firmware, wait approximately one minute for the internal processor to fully boot.
