The 85330A contains 85330A driver files from the disk labeled 85330A Downloadable Driver Disk. When your system was shipped, the driver files were already loaded into the non-volatile memory of the 85330A mainframe. Once loaded, it will remain when the mainframe is powered down or when the power is interrupted to the mainframe.

If you must reload the drivers, a complete set of instructions are included in the INSTALL.TXT file on the supplied driver disk, or perform the following instructions:

This method uses a personal computer (PC) to download the drivers over a serial cable (supplied).

The downloadable driver disk should not be set to the write-protected position or the driver files will not load properly.
