How To Clone a Sequoia 512 system from v9.51 to v12.221
1)Make sure to print out all Features of the unit to be cloned from.
And make all FAS system backup to the MO disk.
2) Take out the original Hard Disk and put aside. Put in a New HD on
the cloned unit. Plug in all cables to HDD assy. Turn on the system
and hold S+Gate toggle switch up and release as soon as the screen
flashes
3) Perform Initial Install. Select Yes to Verbose Output. Wait until
it finished loading the new version 12.221 software (This process will
4) Now, restore all original Features on the new Hard Disk. Make sure
everything is working… (features, color, calcs …)
Alternative ( Step 1-4 ) – Restore image of Sequoia 512 v12.221
(Sequoia 512 v12.221 MachineID_64696.tib) to New Hard Disk ( 50 pin
SCSI 18GB) and put the restored Hard Disk to Sequoia
5) Turn it OFF. Put in the RDP5 board from the cloning unit into this
cloned unit. Turn it ON and let it reprogramming the new serial number
onto this board until it fully booted up ( keep pressing Set up key
to make sure). Replace the RDP5 board to their original location.
6) Put in the PIC2 board from the cloning unit into this cloned unit.
And turn the system ON and let it re-programming the PIC2 completely
as the RDP5 board. Replace the PIC2 board to their original location.
Now , you should turn ON the cloning unit and check to see everything
is working as the cloned unit ( sn#, features…). Run & compare to see
anything works the same in between the 2 Sequoia units.
Side notes: - The cloning involves 3 parts: HD, RDP5 and PIC2. If you
have an extra set of these 3 parts. You can clone a full featured
system and keep the set to be used on a next cloning system.
- DON’T try to put both RDP5 and PIC2 board in and power up at the
Same time ???
Note: Hard Disk locate next to the MO Drive, Unscrew 2 screws on the
back and lift the back cover up. PIC2 board – Unplug all of the cable
on the back of the Sequoia and unscrew all screw to remove the PIC2
board.
Test the feature, image, color, … each time after cloned the RDP5 and
PIC2, and go inside the Sequoia system to do the extensive board test
by using laptop to connect to Sequoia.
