Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual
Installing the Upgrade
This upgrade kit updates the software from version 1.0 to version 1.1. Total install time for one cabinet is
approximately 15 minutes. If the cabinet links to other cabinets, you must unlink it before installing the new
software. Unlink the cabinet by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the back of the cabinet. All linked
cabinets must run the same game software version.
Follow the instructions below to install the software update. Please be aware that this process will erase all
cabinet settings including sound and coin/game audits.
Note:
When the instructions say “reboot the computer,” this is the same as turning the cabinet off by
unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it back in again.
1. The cabinet should be powered on with the game running. Open the coin door and press the red operator
button. This will launch the Operator Menu.
2. Use the Operator Menu to record the following information:
–
Machine Menu: Cabinet Volume _____ , Attract Volume _____% , and Cabinet Link ID# _____
–
Options Menu: Credit Display __________ , Cost/Credits per Play______
– Coin/game
stats

3. Open the rear of the cabinet to gain access to the computer.
4. Open the CD drive and insert the CD labeled
Emergency Recovery Disk
. Reboot the computer
5. After reboot, the CD will automatically start installing. After about 30 seconds, the monitor will display a
status window labeled “Image Center 5.0 – Scripting Progress.”
6. When the process finishes, you will see the message “
Please remove the CD and reboot your Need for
Speed System.
” Remove the Emergency Recovery Disk from the drive.
DO NOT PUT THE GAME CD IN THE DRIVE YET.
7. Reboot the computer.
8. When the computer restarts, it will display the message “

wait for reboot.
