REMOVE EXISTING DRIVE AND INSTALL REPLACEMENT

1. Before making this change, make sure ALL SC III data has been polled and/or backed up, if possible. You may want
to start by doing an end-of-day, and then run SYSBACK and TRANBACK. All backup files should be copied to a
floppy diskette (ex: SYSBACK.DTA, TRANBACK.DTA, OFFROAD.DTA or copies being used, any *.FMT files in the
BIN directory, etc.). This could take several diskettes depending on the site information you are copying. If the site
controller is on a bank network, make sure a settlement has been done and completed without failure.

2. If possible, make a disk copy of the FRAMOS.BIN and FRAMOS.CFG files. Copy various other directories/files like
user created command files, JOURNAL.LOG file, the XBIN directory, previous report or log files, etc. If your PC is
equipped with an integral Profit Point, make a copy of the MASTER.PLU, CONFIG.POS, and KEY_LAY.POS files to
a disk. If the PC is running, shut down the operating system. Shut off power and unplug all cables from the PC.

BIOS setup.

NOTE: Once you have entered the BIOS setup, be very careful not to change settings inadvertently. This may

detect icon, skip to step 7. Use the arrow keys or the mouse (if possible) and select the IDE auto detect. Activate it
by either double-clicking the mouse button or pressing ENTER. The BIO S will automatically determine the hard drive
settings. When prompted, save the drive settings. Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup. The PC will reset and
