If the AR-PB2A SCSI cable has not yet been fitted in the copier or you do not have a 
female/female SCSI connector (available from Micro Warehouse  P/N DCA4475), the 
following panels must also be removed (not AR287/337/407/505/507).

2. 

Without a female/female SCSI connector, connect the PCMCIA SCSI adapter  
cable to the SCSI PCMCIA card in the laptop and the other end directly into the  
SCSI connector on the copier’s ICU board. 

 

3. 

Fit the spare ICU card (must be the same as the model that is being used) into 
the IC master socket. Power up the copier and perform simulation “26-44” to enable 
the SCSI socket that the Laptop is now connected to. 

 

4. 

Power down the machine and remove the OPE and PCU flash cards from the  
copier. Place a flash memory card in to the writing flash card socket of the ICU Pwb. 

 

5. 

Turn on the copier and then power up the laptop computer. Run the Flash 
Download program and ensure that the copier is being recognised as a SCSI device  
as shown below. (Any flash update files that are in the same directory as the 
“Flash5.exe” program will be displayed in the firmware box as shown below). 

 

6. 

Select the updated flash program for the relevant flash card that you have 
placed within the flash memory writing socket. In the download program, click the 
“Transfer” button to update the flash memory. The download will take approximately  
20 seconds. (It is recommended to flash ICU Cards with ICU firmware only, OPE Cards 
with OPE firmware etc). 

 

7. 

After the upgrade has been performed the copier will need to be powered off before  
the flash card can be removed from the writing socket. The same procedure can 
 then be performed for each of the other flash memory cards. 

 

  
Remember to close the “Flash5.exe” program between each flash card update. 

 

NOTE 
As the upgrade procedure uses a SCSI connection to the copier, the computer must always 
be powered on after the copier. This is so that the flash download program can recognise the 
SCSI device (AR copier). 
 
If the Laptop computer is running Windows 95 or 98, “Hot Swapping” is supported.  
As Windows NT does not support Hot Swapping, the Laptop will have to be powered down 
between each flash card upgrade. 

 
8. 

Perform Simulation 22-05 and check that the flash versions are being recognised correctly.
