Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the internal firmware code. If the upgrade process is interrupted then the unit will have invalid code and will not be able to operate.

If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should press and release the front panel reset button without re- powering the unit.
WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your Wizard DVI DL or computing equipment.
