Follow these steps to configure a replacement Main board or to load new
firmware in a repaired Main board.
1. Ensure that the file NVDATA.TXT is not located in the same directory as the
upgrade application files. NVDATA.TXT is a temporary file created by the
Upgrade program to hold user presets and calibration information. If
NVDATA.TXT is present, move it to another directory or rename it. For
more information about NVDATA.TXT, see Using NVDATA.TXT on
page 6–43.

the model type you entered. The program then stores the new configuration
in NVRAM. The program asks whether to install new software.

version of software installed. Type

proceed to step 10 in this procedure.
