Updating System Software on a New Control Panel CF Card
6 Click Yes. A new Ghost application screen appears that reports the progress of the
formatting. The process can take 8 to 20 minutes to fully erase, format, test and
partition the CF card.
Note: For Control Panel CF cards, though the progress bar reaches 100% a
couple more minutes are still required to complete the process. During this
time Configuring operating system disk layout... is reported at the
bottom of the screen.
Note: Additional formatting time may be required (perhaps more than an
hour) if an older USB 1.1 port or slow reader/writer device is used.
7 When finished, the Ghost window will close by itself.
• The VP Frame Solid State Drive contains a set of files making a SWUP bootable image.
These files can be seen by the Windows OS.
• The Control Panel CF card now has a Linux O/S that can boot the Control Panel. These
files are not visible to the Windows OS.
8 Proceed with the appropriate update process.
