Re-installation of the system software
Tis topic describes the re-installation of the system software on the PRISMAsync controller
NOTE
The installation process takes approximately 30 minutes.
Before you begin
• A bootable USB-stick containing the system software.
Preparation of this USB-stick is described in
NOTE
If the USB-stick was created with the setting to "Keep existing jobs and settings after installation"
(default setting), it not necessary to create a backup and restore.
For safety reasons we advise to create a backup. When the controller or the hard disks have to
be exchanged you will lose all settings.
Before upgrading always print the configuration page so you have the Network-settings to your
disposal.
Procedure
NOTE
If the system software seems to be corrupt or the HD drives have been replaced it is not possible
to execute steps 1 and 2.
1. Print a configuration page
2. Create a backup of the settings and licenses
To create a backup do the following:
1. Insert a USB stick into the left side of the Operator panel.
It is not allowed to use the USB-stick with the system software on it. It will become unusable.
2. In the [System] section of the [Maintenance] tab on the Operator panel, touch [Go to service
mode].
3. In the first screen touch the [Backup] button. The system will detect the USB-stick and will ask
to confirm the location and filename. After confirmation, the settings are copied to the USB
stick.
4. Remove the USB-stick after the settings are copied.
3. Insert the USB-stick that contains the system software into a USB-port
Be sure to insert the USB-stick while the PRISMAsync is switched on. The Operating System has
to recognize the USB-stick.
4. Restart the PRISMAsync
On the Operator Panel touch the [Shutdown system] button in the Setup tab of the System
section. In the next window select [Restart].
The PRISMAsync will boot from the stick. This can take a few minutes because the system is
checking the contents of the USB-stick. A text will be displayed telling you that it is checking the
USB-stick. After some time the PRISMAsync will reboot again and the installation process will
start.
Status messages are displayed on the Operator panel. The PRISMAsync will reboot a few times
during installation.
NOTE
Do not switch off the controller during the installation process.
At the end of the process the PRISMAsync will switch off automatically. The total process will
take approx. 30 minutes.
After the PRISMAsync is switched off, remove the USB-stick.
