1. Before installing the CD:
   a. Backup the Registry and Database onto a new diskette.
   Tip: Restore them on your laptop to verify they have not been corrupted.
   b. Prepare a configuration list:

i. Strobe Card: Strobe5 or Strobe7
ii. Screen Processor: VLSI or TSP
iii. Local card: Local2 or Local3
iv. Mcf Card Revision: A or C
v. Distribution Card Revision: B or C
vi. XY System Type: old or new
vii. Is 0.15 kit installed? : yes or no

2. Insert the CD and follow the instructions
3. Remove the CD, close all doors and switch off the machine.
4. Restart the machine and double click the new application icon (It takes longer for the application to load the boards’ software and reach the main screen).
5. Run the application and load the DDB software (This should be done only once after installation). Verify that the L-box power is on and the machine is "READY":
   a. Open "Boards/DDB Board" (double click) and click the “CONNECT” button. Verify that you see Status: open  O.K.
   b. Press the “SEND ALL” button and wait for the software to load. You will get the following error message:    DDB card returned illegal buffer length (opcode 83 returned 0 expected 2 to 2) and the machine will be in ATTENTION mode.  
   c. Open any door – this causes the DDB board to reset. Close the door
   d. Click the “CONNECT” button again. Choose “FPGA status register_0” in the “Type” line (under DDB status). You should see  “000 FF FF F7 F7” which indicates successful loading.
   e. Repeat a-d if loading was not successful. If it fails again replace the DDB board.
6. When upgrading from version 2.1 and the machine is V², change the following parameters in the Registry: a. Expose System/Laser System/Laser Group/Last Expose Laser Active è 47.
   a. Expose System/Laser System/Laser Group/Last Expose Laser Active è 47.
   b. Others/Expose/Default Last Laser Number è 47.
