Upgrade guide
Preparing the System
To prepare your system for the upgrade:
1. Check your firmware version number. A firmware version of 3.0-15 (SRM) or 4.26
(ARC) or higher is required to properly display the model number on the operator
control panel. The part number for the firmware update (Version 5.1) is AG-
TTMWQ-BE. This version is included on the firmware diskette shipped with the
upgrade kit.
2. Shut down the operating system following the instructions listed in the operating
system documentation.
3. Set the On/Off switches on all external options connected to the system to the off
position.
4. Set the On/Off switch on the system unit to the off position. An interlocking sensor
switch inside the system unit will automatically turn off the system if you remove the
top cover and have not turned off the system.
Removing Top Cover and Side Panels
Caution: Do not disconnect the system unit power
cord or unplug the power cord from the power supply
socket. The power cord grounds the system unit,
preventing damage to the internal components.
To remove the top cover and left side panel, refer to Figure 1 and follow steps 1 through 4.

Caution: When handling internal system
components, use an antistatic wrist strap to avoid
damaging the components.
1. Turn the front door lock to the right to unlock the system unit.
2. Pull down the top cover release latch on the front of the system until it catches in the
down position.
3. Grasp the finger groove at the rear of the top cover and pull the top cover straight back
about two inches; lift up on the cover.
4. Pull the top of the side panel back, then up and away from the unit and pull up on the
panel to remove it.

Removing the CPU Card
Your system comes with the CPU installed on a card that connects to the system board.
To upgrade, you need to replace the CPU card.
Warning: CPU and memory modules have hot
components. Wait 2 minutes after power is off before
handling these modules. Take appropriate antistatic
precautions when handling internal parts.
To remove the existing CPU card, refer to Figure 2 and follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the crossbar that secures the outer edge of the CPU card.
2. Lift up on the other end of the bar. Release the card by extending the handle clip on
each end outward.
3. Holding the outer edge of the card, gently pull it out of its system board slot.
