ATTENTION for Userinterface with B380 (A) SW up to 5.66

(checked during Bootup on User Interface)

Important advise:

There is a problem in systems with SW Version up to 5.66 (for B380 (A)).

While the data are transferred from IPC1000 to B380, the beam on the display, that shows the

38% of progress. You can take the still changing hexadecimal numbers as an indicator, that the
update is continued.
Do not switch off the system as long as the hex numbers are changing !
After the update is really finished, the system executes automatically a re-boot.
