  Upgrading the SKX PRO software using a USB Flash Drive

The different components of the software of your SKX PRO can be upgraded to new versions.  To do this,
you must first download the software update from the Hammond website and install it to your USB Flash
Drive. 

t

 Preparing a USB Flash Drive

1.

Go to the Hammond website (

http://hammondorganco.com

) and select Support

2.

When the Support page finishes loading, select Downloads from either of the two links on the
page.

3.

When the Downloads page finishes loading, select System Downloads from either of the two
links on the page.

4.

On the left side of the System Downloads page you will see information about the latest
system software upgrade and a link to a file named “skproReleaseX.zip.”  The number of the
release will be the latest software available.

5.

Click on the link and select “Save Link As...”  A dialog box will appear asking to what location
you want to save the .ZIP file.  It is recommended that you save the .ZIP file to your hard drive.

What Is A “ZIP” File?

When working with computer operations which involve several files, such as software installations
or upgrades, it is frequently necessary to combine the individual files into one file, called an archive,
and to compress the files so that the resulting archive file is smaller in size.  Originally this was done
so that all the necessary data would fit onto a floppy disk or installation CD; in recent years it is done
so that if it is necessary to download data from the Internet, the download will take less time.

There are several methods of compressing files; however, the most common is the .ZIP format,
support for which is built into both PC and Mac operating systems.  On a PC, the name "compressed
folders” is given to .ZIP files, while Mac OS X 10.3 includes .ZIP file support under the name “Archive
Utility.”

6.

After the .ZIP file has finished downloading, go to the directory on your hard drive which
contains the .ZIP file and extract the contents of the file.  It is recommended that you allow the
extraction utility to determine the folder which will contain the extracted files.

7.

After the .ZIP file is finished extracting, open the folder which contains the extracted files.  You
should see a number of files with the extension, .”SYS.”
