Make recovery images
Do not do this task if:
• You previously made a recovery image at the current software version for each
computer you are upgrading.
Do this task if:
• You do not have a recovery image at the current software version for one or more
of the computers you are upgrading.
The recommended procedure is to make a recovery image immediately after a software
upgrade. If you neglected to do this when you last upgraded software you should make
the recovery image now, before upgrading to the new version.
Refer to the K2 product's Service Manual for recovery image procedures.
CAUTION: If you upgrade and then decide you do not want to stay with this
version of K2 system software, you must use the recovery disk image process to
downgrade to your previous version.
Prepare for K2 system upgrade
Before upgrading K2 systems, do the following:
• Procure the software installation files for this release via the appropriate distribution
method, such as download, CD-ROM, network drive, or external drive.
• Start up the K2 systems you are upgrading, if they are not already started.
• For K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server, if you have not already
done so, disable (unlock) the write filter.
• Stop all media access on K2 systems.
• Shut down all applications on K2 systems.
Upgrade QuickTime

• QuickTime is currently at version 7.6 or higher.
Do this task if:
• QuickTime is at a version lower than 7.6.
1. Access the QuickTime installation files.
2. Locate and open the following QuickTime install file:
QuickTimeInstaller-7.6.exe
3. Work through the install wizard.
