Remote Access PC Card

The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a multi-purpose card that accompanies all
PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 and later processors. This PC Card can be used to upgrade
previous versions of PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 and later, to perform backup and restore
functions, and, with additional software (for the PC, not the PARTNER system), it can also be
used to administer the PARTNER system from local and remote locations using a PC.

WARNING:

Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.

2 If you do not have a 5-slot carrier or have a system of Release 4.0 or later, go to Step 3. If you have a 5-slot

carrier and a system of Release 3.0 or earlier:

A) Loosen the screw on the lower front of the cover.

B) Place one hand on the handle on the bottom front of the cover, and place your other hand on the top of

the cover. Gently pull the cover up and away from the carrier–be careful not to break the tabs that attach
the cover to the carrier.

3 If your card comes with a write-protect tab, verify that the

write-protect tab on the PC Card is not in the write-protected
position. If it is, use a paperclip or another pointed object to push the
write-protect tab on the end of the PC Card upward to the
nonprotected position.

If your new PC Card is a Software Upgrade Card, or if you are
using your PARTNER Remote Access PC Card to upgrade your
processor, remove all other PC Card(s) from the PC Card slot(s)
on the processor module by gently pulling each card straight
out (with the power off).
