Program Updates via CD-ROM 
The Image Server operating system and On-Screen User Interface programs can be updated by the 
user via the internal CD-ROM drive.  Program updates will be made available by 360 Systems from 
time to time.  The current software version may be determined by looking in the On-Screen 
program About box, or by pressing the F1 key. 
To install a program update, follow these instructions.  Please read them completely before 
beginning. 
1.  Remove the Image Server front panel.  The internal CD-ROM drive will be seen at the 
left front of the server. 
2.  With the Image Server powered on, press the CD eject button on the drive.  The drawer 
will open a short distance.  Gently pull the drawer open and insert the CD-ROM disk, 
printed side up.  Push the drawer closed until it latches. 
3.  Press the front panel power switch briefly to shutdown the Image Server. 
4.  Wait 5 seconds, then press the front panel power switch again to boot from the CD. 
5.  The Installer menu provides a choice to Update the Image Server operating system, 
begin a new complete install, or cancel the install. 
 
Choose UPDATE if you want to keep the video and audio clip files that exist on 
the Image Server.  Use this selection for all normal software updates. 
 
Choose NEW only if you want to partition and reformat the drive array, and 
install the new operating system. 
 
IMPORTANT! Using the NEW option will destroy all video and audio files on 
the Image Server.  For normal software upgrades, use the UPDATE option 
instead of NEW. 
6.  The message, “Please wait while Image Server is being installed” will appear with an 
activity indicator.  When installation is complete, the server will automatically reboot 
from its hard disk array, and display the usual copyright notice while it is starting up. It 
will also release the CD drawer. Remove the CD.  Never leave it in the CD drive. 
7.  Replace the front panel.  Tighten the two large front panel access screws. 
If a disk cannot be ejected because the system is not responding or is powered off, the CD-ROM 
drawer can be released by inserting a paper clip into the small hole on the front of the drive.
