Please Note:

  • While the files contained in the PCMCIA update version can also be used when installing the firmware via USB, it is intended for use by a qualified service technician. The only difference between the two versions is that the PCMCIA version also contains a few extra files required to boot the instrument from the internal PCMCIA slot if needed during servicing the instrument.

WARNING

  • Do not attempt to use this update on an instrument that is currently using a Beta version of firmware without first contacting the Agilent representative responsible for the instrument for further required instructions. Failing to do so could render the instrument unusable.
