The Fiery X3e system software is installed on the HDD (hard disk drive) at the factory.
You will need to install system software if a more recent version is required, if you replace
the HDD, or if you discover problems with the current system. You can install all system
software over the LAN port, the USB port (see following), or using a USB flash drive
(see page 6).
After you install the system software, follow the procedure on page 13 to install the
1-J8PG9.ps and 1-J98TH.ps update files that are located on the system software
update CD.
