External ROM Card
To upgrade the main system software of the Xen Alpha you will need an External ROM
card and an EPROM containing the new software. The ROM card can be used to
upgrade many systems and can be reused as new software versions are released by
fitting a new EPROM.
Preparing the ROM Card:
1.
Carefully remove the ROM card from its packaging, using a wrist strap connected
to protective earth to avoid static discharge.
2.
Mount the new EPROM onto the ROM card into socket ICI.
NOTE:
Check for correct orientation of the EPROM and ensure that all pins are
properly aligned over the socket before firmly pushing in the EPROM.
