System Software Installation Procedure
Overview
System software should be installed in the following cases:

You replace the HDD with a new one (on which the System Software is not installed)

You update to a more recent version of the system software (this is not necessary when you apply
a patch; it is necessary when you install a major version change)

You have trouble with the system software (e.g. software corruption) and the problem cannot be
solved by performing "Factory Defaults", restoring the backup files, or restoring the factory default
image.
