Figure B-7 Verify Firmware Versions
18. Verify that the Firmware Application Version (red box) matches the version of the firmware downloaded and
installed. Also verify that the same version appears in the SW Version column for both the Top and Bottom
boards (green box). If everything matches, the procedure completed successfully.
Any mismatches indicate an error occurred in the last stage of the update. (Occasionally, the screen may indicate
that “Firmware Update Processing is not available in Failsafe mode.” In Failsafe mode, the lasers and motor are dis-
abled.) Perform the If An Error Occurs on the next page procedure below to resolve the issue.
B.1.1 Special Procedure to Update Firmware

Update Firmware.”
1. First, go to the System tab.
2. Click on Choose File and specify the flash file name.
3. Press Update to update the bottom board.
4. Wait a bit.
5. You will eventually see another screen entitled, “Firmware Upload Complete.”
6. Do not press the Process Firmware Update button to flash the top board.
