• Insert a pre-formatted 1.44 MB high-density floppy disk into the floppy disk drive

5. Eject the storage device from the switcher.
6. Label the storage device and store it in a safe place. It is recommended that you place the
following information on the label:
• Synergy 1 SD Switcher
• Software Version [ vXX.xx ] Backup
• Today’s Date
This completes the procedure for saving your setups to a storage device. Please continue with the
“
Software Upgrade ” procedure.
Important Because the software upgrade process automatically returns the
switcher to default values, it is important that you back up all switcher
elements to a storage device at this point.
Note If the floppy disk is not formatted (or if you wish to completely erase
all data from the disk), press
Format . Follow the instructions on the
display to format the disk.
Note You must have the USB Removable Media Drive option installed in
order to use a USB key for saving and recalling setup configurations.
Caution Do NOT remove the floppy disk or USB key from the switcher before
the LED on the disk drive or USB port goes out. Doing so may destroy
the data on your floppy disk or USB key, as well as the data on the next
one you insert into the switcher.
