Installation Instructions & Release Notes
960L Version 2.5 Software
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Although the installer will preserve user registers, it is recommended to save them to
a floppy disk before making the upgrade. (See the section called Organizing Your
Registers in Chapter 4 of the owner’s manual.) These saved user registers will be
compatible with the current version of software in the 960L. If necessary, saved user
registers can be loaded from the floppy disk to the Version 2.5 system. However, it is
recommended to save a copy of the current user registers in case it is ever desired to
revert the system back to its current version. (See Reverting to a Previous Software
Version on page 6.)
Performing this upgrade is a simple process. But to avoid problems, please follow the instructions
carefully. Pay particular attention to precautions that appear throughout this document.
This document contains installation instructions for the 960L Version 2.5 Software. It describes
updated and enhanced features of Version 2.5, and discusses items that did not receive full
coverage in the 960L Owner’s Manual. Refer to the owner’s manual, particularly the Version 2.5
addendum, for additional information about the new software.
