Upgrading Your ION Device(s)

ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

 

 

Laptop computer considerations

Laptop computers generally have different default power option properties than desktop computers. Incorrect power options can adversely affect the Device Upgrader’s performance, because the connection between the laptop and the device must be maintained in order for the Device Upgrader to complete its task. If the laptop’s hard disk shuts down or the laptop enters system standby mode, this connection is broken and the Device Upgrader must be restarted.

When using the Device Upgrader utility from a laptop computer, it is recommended that you follow these guidelines:

Plug the laptop computer into a wall outlet. Do not run the laptop on its battery pack.

Configure the hard disks so that they do not shut down after a certain period of time (i.e. set to “never”).

Turn off power suspension (e.g. system stand-by) and hibernate options.

Disable options that power down the laptop when it is closed. This prevents a shut down if the laptop is accidentally closed.

Disable the screen saver; screen savers can burden the CPU.
