Cinedeck Operating System Field Restore Disk Update instructions
NB: In general, it is a good idea to keep your restore disk up to date so that in the case of a field restore, your soft-
ware will be current without installing it separately.
The restore disk update file is located at:
ftp://ftp.dbox.com
username: cinedeckupdate
password: update123
Folder: Restore Disk Update
NB We suggest an FTP client like filezilla or similar for the download. It is ~850MB (total OS replacement)
Installation instructions: Ideally this is done on a Windows PC, or on the Cinedeck with keyboard and mouse.
Updating the restore disk
1) Download the image zip archive “xpe full.zip” from the ftp.
2) Extract the contents of the zip file “xpe_full.zip” to the desktop of the Cinedeck.
3) Remove USB or Media drive from the Cinedeck.
4) Insert the restore disk in the USB port on the Cinedeck
5) The restore disk should show up as the D: drive
6) In the Windows Explorer, navigate to D:\home\partimag and delete the folder “xpe-full”
(remember, you can plug in a USB mouse to make this easier)
7) Copy the “xpe-full” folder from the desktop to: D:\home\partimag\
8) Leave the thumb drive in the usb port
9) Push the power button on the side of the Cinedeck and let it shut down.
