Software Upgrades
Note: If you can not find a tool as shown above, a very small screw driver or pointed object can be used to
pry them out. Care must be taken when using this technique and you must carefully pry up under each
corner, a bit at a time, moving from one side to the other until it comes free, and then remove it.
5.
Install the new software. Ground yourself by touching/holding the M7 chassis during this operation as
you do not want to damage the parts by static discharge!
With the upgrade will be a new PLCC-32 Flash Memory chip labeled U120-R, 02.10.09 and will go in
the empty socket on the board. Remove it from the package and press into the correct location on the
PC board, using even pressure on the chip. It can only go in one way, and should snap into position
and be held firmly in place.
6. Double check things: Take a close look and be sure that the part is in the correctly, and no other
connections have been disturbed.
7.
Power on test. Before attaching the top cover you should carefully test the M7 and see that it does
power up correctly, so in the event there is a problem you don’t have to remove the top again.
•
Check to be sure the front panel power switch is in the OFF position.
•
Connect the AC mains to the AC inlet.
•
Switch on the power from the front panel keeping clear of any AC power inside the unit.
•
You will hear the analog relays clicking on, note the rows of LEDs on the main bd by each
DSP chip will sequence as they boot, and when complete, the front panel display will settle on
the last program or setting used.
•
Turn the Adjust Knob on the front panel to test operations to verify that it is working and the
display changes and shows a different program or settings etc.
8.
If all boots up correctly and you have verified basic operation, replace the top cover and test the audio.
If it does not then you most likely have the U120 in backwards, so it’s the first thing to check if things
are not right.
You have now successfully upgraded the M7 and it is ready to be used with your M10.
