Program Updates from USB Memory

Program updates for the MAXX-2400HD may be issued from time to time. The server’s operating system and application programs can be updated by the user from a USB Flash Drive distributed by 360 Systems. The current software version is determined by looking in the GUI Help>About dialog box.

To install a program update, follow these instructions. Please read them completely before beginning.

1.Discontinue all record, play, network transfer or system-level operations.

2.With power applied, insert a 360 Systems USB Flash Drive into a USB a socket.

3.Press the front panel power switch briefly to shutdown the server.

4.Wait 5 seconds, then press the front panel power switch again to boot from the USB Flash Drive.

5.The Installer menu provides a choice to Update the server operating system, begin a new complete install, or cancel the install.

•Choose UPDATE if you want to keep the video and audio clip files that exist on the server. Use this selection for all normal software updates.

•Choose NEW only if you want to partition and reformat the drive array, and install the new operating system.

IMPORTANT! Using the NEW option will destroy all video and audio files on the server. For normal software upgrades, use the UPDATE option instead of NEW.

6.The message, “Please wait while server is being installed” will appear with an activity indicator. When installation is complete, the server will automatically reboot from its hard disk array, and will display a copyright notice while starting up.

7.IMPORTANT! Remove the USB Flash Drive. Never leave it plugged into the server.
