Upgrade Procedure for a Single 
MPCPU 

CAUTION:

 It is strongly 

recommended that a copy of the 
database be read from the active 

MPCPU and saved to the local hard disk drive 
of the EASY CPU Configurator PC before 
starting this procedure.  This will ensure that 
all recent changes made to the MPCPU by all 
parties having the ability to do so have been 
captured to a backup file.  Please refer to the 
MegaPower

 CPU ADMPCPU Administrator’s 

Guide, 8200-0421-03 for details on performing 
this procedure.
