To Upgrade a DGX Control Panel to a DGX 100 Series Control 
Panel, follow the steps below:

 1. Turn off AC power to the enclosure. Make sure none of the 
    power supply LEDs are illuminated.
 2. Loosen the four captive screws on the control panel.
 3. Carefully pull the control panel straight out from the 
    enclosure. 
 4. Apply power to the enclosure.
 5. Connect a null modem serial cable to the DB9 serial port 
    on the control panel.
 6. Connect the other end of the serial cable to a PC.
 7. Locate and open the DGX_Control_Panel_Upgrade file folder.
 8. Run the Setup.exe program to install AppCodeLoader and 
    any associated files on your PC.
 9. Launch the AppCodeLoader program.
10. Set Serial Port Settings for your system:
 a. Set Baud Rate to 9600

11. Browse for the “image-v2.2.0pre5.enc” file to upload.
12. Click the “Start Upload” button and wait for the upload
