A. SAVE USER PROGRAMMED DATA TO DISK
Updating the Instrument’s Operating System cancels all User Programmed Data present in RAM. Be sure to save all User Programmed Data to Disk before proceeding (see SAVE ALL procedure in the Disk Chapter of the owner’s manual).

B. BACK-UP COPY OF THE ORIGINAL BOOT DISK
The operating system does not allow you to make a back-up copy of the boot disk. To create a back-up copy for security reasons, copy the file contained in the Original Boot Disk (containing the previous O.S. release) in any directory of your computer.

C. CREATE A NEW BOOT DISK
To create a New Boot Disk, proceed as follows:
1. Decompress the received compressed file (see Upgrade Specifications:
Zip File Name) in a directory (or folder) in your computer
To extract the files contained in the ZIP file you can use:
– Windows : WinZip [http://www.winzip.com/]
– MS-DOS : PKUNZIP [http://www.pkware.com/]
– Macintosh: ZipIt [http://www.awa.com/softlock/zipit/]
2. Check that the file is decompressed without errors and that the size of the generated file is exactly the same as reported in the Upgrade Specifications (Generated File Size).
3. Copy the decompressed (MIOS36K4.LZW) file into the Old Boot Disk in order to overwrite the old file with the new one.
4. Write the date,(see Upgrade Specifications: Upgrade Date) on the disk’s label.
