B.4.7 Firmware Upgrades
The VCC-HD-4 cards allow you to upgrade firmware on site rather than returning the card to Black Box.
Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed, the SW2 on the DIP switch must be set ON. The DIP Switch can
be located on the back of the VCC-HD-4 To perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided
by the upgrade application. The VCC-HD-4 is shipped with the SW2 switch set at on, no action is necessary.
If something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage), you can revert to the factory
settings by powering down the system, temporarily setting SW2 to the OFF position, then powering up the
system. Once the system reboots, set the SW2 back to the ON position (while the system is still powered up)
and restart the firmware upgrade process.
NOTE: The latest driver installation program includes an automatic firmware update, if required. Before
installing the application and driver, make sure that SW2 is set to on.
