- Insert the new version of the Reference Diskette into the
diskette drive.
- Power-off the computer, then power it on. After the cursor moves to
the upper right corner of the screen,
press Ctrl+Alt
+Insert.
This process writes over all existing files in the system
partition. Before continuing, you must have either
a backup copy of the current system partition or all the option
diskettes so you can reinstall the option files.
- Go to the Main Menu of the Reference Diskette and select
Backup/Restore system programs, then select Restore
the system partition and follow the instructions on the screen.
This transfers all files, programs, and the IML image of the new
diskette onto the system partition.
- When the Main Menu appears again, remove the diskette from
the diskette drive and power-off the computer, then power it on.
- After the cursor moves to the upper right corner of the screen,
press Ctrl+Alt+Insert.
- If you have a backup copy of the current system partition,
continue with step 7.
If you do not have a backup copy of the current system
partition, but you have the option diskettes, go to step 8.
- Select Copy an option diskette
from the Main Menu. When the
Insert your option diskette
message appears, insert the backup copy of the system partition
and follow the instructions on the screen. (The backup copy of the
system partition is used to reinstall the option files onto
the system partition.) Then go to step 9.
- Select Copy an option diskette
and follow the instructions on the screen. Repeat the procedure with
each option diskette until all option diskettes have been reinstalled.
- If there is a customized configuration
installed
(settings have been changed via the Change configuration
screen), continue with step 10.
If there is not a customized
configuration installed, go to step 11.
- Select Set configuration from the Main Menu.
When you exit from Set configuration by pressing
the F3, the customized configuration files will
be restored onto the system partition as
files @CMOS and @NVRAM.
Do not run Run automatic configuration now or you will write
over the customized configuration.
- You are finished with the updating process. Make a
new backup copy of the system partition. (For information on making
a backup copy, see 'Making a System Partition Backup Copy')
