The inverter starts copying the data.
"BOOT" and the progress of storing the individual tests expressed in % are dis-
played until all the data for all the electronic modules has been copied.
Once copying is complete, the inverter updates the electronic modules as re-
quired in sequence.
"BOOT", the affected modules and the update progress in % are displayed.
The final step is for the inverter to update the display.
The display remains dark for approx. 1 minute while the monitoring and status
LEDs flash.
Once the firmware update is complete, the inverter enters its start-up phase be-
fore going on to start feeding energy into the grid. Unplug the USB flash drive us-
ing the "Safely remove hardware" function.
When the inverter firmware is updated, any custom settings that were configured
in the Setup menu are retained.
