3. Launch the RDXUtility program located under Start -> All Programs -> HP RDX.

4. Select (highlight) the RDX device in the main window.

5. Click Diagnostic to open the Diagnostic window.

6. Click Change Firmware... and browse to the desired firmware file (.bip).

Once selected, the RDX Utility validates that the file selected is in fact RDX code for the unit being

upgraded and loads the new code file on the RDX drive. If a cartridge is installed, the drive ejects

it and shuts down the cartridge interface prior to loading the new code. This guarantees that no

data is corrupted during the code load. After the new code is loaded, the RDX dock resets itself

and begins running the new code.

Compatibility/Interoperability

None

Determining current version

You can check your current firmware revision from the HP RDX Utility's Diagnostic window, as described

above.
