The details for each step appear later in this chapter.

NOTE:

The version of SPM packaged with Intuity does not support conversion.

NOTE:

Technicians can download the most current version of DOS SPM from the NSAC bulletin board.

■Back up current system programming.

■SPM Version 6.25 to convert system programming information and to restore system programming information after the processor module has been upgraded.

■CKE4 processor module with Release 6.1 software, when upgrading from Releases prior to Release 3.0 or MERLIN II. The CKE4 processor module has a label on its front side that cites the designation.
