Updating 4610 Firmware Using RS-232 Attachment Cable

To use the 4610 DBCS Installation Utility Diskette to update SureMark firmware for configurations that do not have a diskette drive and display and PC keyboard, you must provide a temporary RS-232 attachment to a host PC that does have a diskette drive.

Before starting the firmware update, you must obtain the following parts:

vRS-232 attachment cable, either 2 meters in length (P/N 86H2192) or 4 meters in length (P/N 86H2195).

vSureMark Power Supply (for RS-232 configurations only), P/N 42H1176.

If the SureMark is currently attached to a host system unit that does not support a diskette drive, use the following procedure to temporarily connect the SureMark to a host PC that has a diskette drive, RS-232 port, PC keyboard and display.

1.Disconnect the SureMark (RS-485 #7) attachment cable and temporarily connect an RS-232 attachment cable to the SureMark.

2.Connect the SureMark via the RS-232 port connector to an alternate host PC that has a diskette drive.
