Note on Download Process
Warning: Never turn OFF the power during the download / writing process.
Turning off the power during the download / writing process may cause a failure of machine start-up at power-on.
If this occurs, start the machine in Safe mode (by pressing 2 and 8 keys simultaneously on the numeric keypad).
When the machine is successfully started in Safe mode, execute formatting of BOOTDEV partition, retry downloading the system software.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use normal mode when using download mode except in a case where it is not possible to start this machine and enter service mode.
In safe mode, version information of SYSTEM, MEAPCONT, LANGUAGE, RUI, and SDICT can be obtained, but version information of other system software such as DCON and RCON cannot be obtained. Therefore the following points to note are required when downloading in safe mode.
[RCON]
The version is not upgraded except in a case where Single mode of SST is used or when "Overwrite all" of USB download menu is used.
[DCON and others]
The following symptoms occur when SST (Single mode) or USB download menu (Auto) is used.
The time for download/write becomes longer because the software is overwritten even when system software of the same version is being written.
A confirmation message is not displayed when a lower version is going to be downloaded.
