Updating the rware
N If your system has primary and redundant controller cards, both cards must
have the same firmware revisions installed.
N The ICs that contain the firmware for the matrix switcher also contain the
memory in which presets and audio levels are saved. When you replace the IC,
these settings are lost. You may want to record the presets and audio levels
before you replace the IC.
Replace the firmware as follows:
1. If the firmware is being replaced on an installed controller card, remove
the card, see “Removing the primary or redundant controller card” in this
chapter, placing the controller card on an anti-static mat.
2. Locate the PROM to be replaced, IC U1, U2, or U6 (figure 6-12).
