7-1 Firmware Check
Check whether the new Compression Board firmware needs to be updated, as follows:
1. Reboot the Senographe system.
2. Go to the Service Desktop home page (see Launching the Service Desktop on page 120).
3. Consult Table 1 on page 63 in the section Component FW/SW to ADS Version compatibility Matrix
on page 63. Determine the system level from the ADS/IDC/Generator CPU versions displayed on the
Service Desktop home page, and by consulting Table 1 on page 63. The system level will be defined
by one of the System Level (Model Number) columns in Table 1 on page 63.
4. Check whether the current firmware version(s) for the new Compression Board corresponds to the
required firmware version for the that system level.
• If the current firmware version(s) match the required version(s) quoted in Table 1 on page 63, no
additional steps are required.
• If the current firmware version(s) does not match the required version(s), you must perform a firm-
ware update of the mismatched firmware version(s) so that the new Compression Board firmware
version(s) match those quoted in Table 1 on page 63. To update the new Compression Board
firmware follow the instructions supplied in the Gantry Software Update CD-ROM that is kept with
the system.
