<strong>ASXpress</strong> Rapid Sample Introduction System Operator’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Chapter 3: Installing the Rapid Sample Introduction System<br />
3.4 Upgrade the Firmware on the Autosampler<br />
The <strong>CETAC</strong> autosampler requires a firmware version which is compatible with<br />
the ASXPRESS system. The ASXPRESS full system versions are shipped with the<br />
firmware pre-loaded onto the Rabbit module which is pre-installed inside the<br />
autosampler. ASXPRESS upgrade versions (those which include the ASXPRESS<br />
system only, and are intended for upgrade of a customer’s existing ASX-520<br />
series autosamplers) include a Rabbit processor module with firmware preloaded.<br />
This Rabbit processor module shall be installed in the autosampler to<br />
be upgraded, replacing the existing module. Replacement of this module is<br />
discussed in detail in prior sections within this chapter of this manual.<br />
Note:<br />
This manual section is included to provide instruction the event that a<br />
customer requires to reload the ASXPRESS firmware, or to upgrade<br />
firmware to subsequent versions as <strong>CETAC</strong> advances its technology. It<br />
is not necessary to load firmware on full system or upgrade version<br />
ASXPRESS instruments as shipped from the factory.<br />
A compatible firmware version and Rabbit Firmware Utility (RFU) Upgrade<br />
program is included on the CD provided with the ASXPRESS completion kit.<br />
Complete instructions for loading the firmware is also provided on the CD.<br />
Follow the provided instructions to upgrade the firmware on the autosampler.<br />
See the <strong>CETAC</strong> Autosampler Operator <strong>Manual</strong> for any further instructions on<br />
autosampler set up.<br />
The following guide describes the necessary steps for upgrading the<br />
firmware on the ASX-260/520 and ASX-520HS autosamplers.<br />
3.4.1 Autosampler Programming Configuration<br />
The autosampler’s Rabbit processor module must be configured to receive the<br />
firmware. This is achieved by moving jumpers on the main board to place the<br />
system into “programming mode”. Follow the instructions in the following<br />
section to complete the firmware upgrade.<br />
1. Ensure that the autosampler is powered off, and that all covers are<br />
removed as is outlined in Section 3.1.1.<br />
2. On the ASX-520/520HS board, move jumper JP3 and JP4 to JP5 and<br />
JP6 (Figure 3-60 shows jumpers).<br />
