7.4.1 How to Upgrade Software 
Before software upgrade, check software version by selecting [Main Menu] → 
[Maintenance>>] →[Factory Maintenance>>]→ enter the required password →[Software 
Version>>]. If your BIOS program has a version prior to 2.0, upgrade it to version 2.0 or 
greater before upgrading other programs. If you use System Update Tool (PN: 
110-000493-00) version 2.0 or greater, make sure that BIOS program version is 2.0 or greater 
before upgrade. Please refer to the following procedure to upgrade the software: 
 
1.  Connect the patient monitor to a PC through a crossover network cable. Set the IP to 
77.77.1.XX, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. 
2.  Run the System Update Tool in the PC. Select [BeneView] in the [Machine Type 
Selection] window and confirm. 
3. Select [Select Package] in the main screen of the Mindray Patient Monitor Software 
Upgrade Tool. Choose the package you want to upgrade and click [Start]. 
4.  Start up the patient monitor and press quickly the [Silence]+[Main Menu] hardkeys to 
enter upgrade mode. Determine if the software is upgraded successfully according to the 
prompt message of the patient monitor when finishing upgrading the software. 
 
If your BIOS program has a version prior to 5.0(CE) or 4.2.0(FDA),, you should press 
[Silence] hardkey before you start the patient monitor, and do not release it until you enter 
the upgrade screen. 
 
Software upgrade is taken in the sequence of BIOS program → system software package 
(including system software, language library, and BMP resource files) → FPGA package 
(including mother board FPGA software and audio data files)→module rack FPGA package 
→ MPM module software.
