Loading System Software Software
1Standard Software Upgrade

The system software resides in the system memory, so loading software using disks and
the system"s compact disk (CD) drive is not normally required. It may be necessary to
load software if it is received as part of a system upgrade.

NOTE While loading the new software version, selecting Retain Current
Preset will retain all enabled features and the user-defined settings
for system presets, QuickSets, and OB tables and formulas. Se-
lecting Initialize Preset resets all settings to factory default set-
tings and deletes all enabled features and the user-defined
settings for the system presets, QuickSets, and OB tables and for-
mulas. The selection of Initialize Presets may require the confirma-
tion of language selections that are installed with the system
software.
