Firmware Upgrade Procedure
The firmware upgrade is not required to convert an ADC-8032B to an ADC-832B-S. However,
depending on the firmware issue loaded on your existing ACD-8032B, the Ross Video Customer
Service team may provide one in the upgrade kit.
The following instructions apply only if the firmware upgrade chip is in your upgrade kit.
1. Refer to Figure 8 and the card labeling to locate socket U34.
2. Do one of the following:
• If there is a chip in the socket, continue on from step 3.
• If the socket is empty skip to step 6.
3. Insert the supplied IC chip removal tool, toothed-end inward, in one of the corner
slots of the U34 socket.
Important
Do not press the tool too far into the slot or you may catch against the mounting
socket’s frame, where it connects to the card itself. Excessive prying may
damage the socket frame or the card or both. Follow the instructions included
with the chip extraction tool
4. Alternating between corners, gently pry up the chip from the socket.
5. Store the old chip in a labeled static free container.
6. Carefully remove the new chip from the packaging. The chip and the socket each
have one beveled corner for alignment purposes.
7. Align the new chip over the socket with the beveled corners together and the label
facing up. Text direction may vary.
8. Gently and firmly press the chip into the socket.
9. Install the supplied jumper shunt on JP7.
10. Reinsert the card into the frame.
11. Confirm your upgrade with the following procedure.
