UNITS BEING UPDATED FROM A PREVIOUS SOFTWARE VERSION

To protect the system against the possibility of file and database corruption during the update process, the DVR5100 checks the integrity of the
image on the CD before starting the update, and the database and system files after the update. If the update is not completed properly, the
DVR5100 restarts using the existing operating system image. To check that the update is completed successfully, display the Help screen and
check the version number. Note that the release number changes to reflect each new software release.
