7. Once the files are transferred, press [No] to exit INTERSVR on the HHC.
The HHC automatically resets at this time.
8. When the unit resets, it begins the flash update process.  You are not
prompted further unless an error occurs or a file is missing.
9. After reflashing, the HHC resets itself and boots to the default drive.  To
confirm the flash version, observe the screen while booting from drive D.  If
necessary, see the above instructions or those instructions provided in the
Boot Drive Selection paragraph of the Communications and Device Support
section, for overriding the default boot drive.
Booting to the PC Card
Use a PC Card in either a standard boot cycle or a Master Mode Boot cycle.  The
Master Mode Boot cycle provides a reboot technique for an HHC that does not
have functioning software in flash memory (absent or corrupted contents).
If there is a problem with the IFL image, see the To Update the Databook
Software on Your PC paragraph, on page 1Ć11, for possible remedies.
Standard Boot Cycle
1. Insert the IFL card into drive B (the slot farther from the display).  Activate
the reset switch.
2. Press and release the [F4] key (6200 Computer) or the [Next] key (6300
Computer), until you hear a key beep, then press and hold the same key
until the ROM DOS 5 boot menu is displayed.
3. Press the [2] key to boot from drive B:.  Follow the prompts on the display
to update the flash memory.  To verify that the update has occurred, look
for the following message on the top line of the display when you start from
ROM drive D.

Master Mode Boot Cycle
You can boot from an IFL card even if the flash memory in the HHC has never
been programmed or if it has been programmed but has become corrupted.  This
method is called a Master Mode Boot.
