Software Update
Software updates can be installed to Kayak system components by trans-
ferring the software to a compatible USB flash drive that can be plugged
into the switcher control panel. Refer to the Kayak Release Notes for a list of
compatible flash drives.
Starting with Software Release V680 the software update also can be exe-
cuted directly from a PC that is on the same network as the Kayak system
devices. Inserting the Kayak Software CD-ROM into the PC launches an
autorun
program. If autorun is disabled on your PC, the program can be
started manually from /autorun/autorun.exe on the CD. The installa-
tion program is multilingual and self explanatory.
The Sidepanel program is also available on the Kayak Software CD-ROM
or with the web site download. The Sidepanel program can be installed
onto a PC and used for Kayak system configuration and to access addi-
tional advanced Kayak system capabilities.
Refer to the latest Kayak Release Notes for a detailed description of the com-
plete software installation procedure.

Memory chips) located in the backplane of the frame. Licenses cannot be
moved between different Kayak HD frames.
