• Download the following file - 3.95.0236_Raw_images.zip (2.53 GB)
• This file contains the CF images for all the CF based modules.
• Once downloaded, unzip the file
• To find which particular CF image you need, open the text file, rawimage.map, and locate your module in the list (e.g., for an EDM-2003B, the file is raven.1000-3.95.0236.img.gz)
• un-gz the particular ,img.gz file so that you are left with a .img file (e.g., raven.1000-3.95.0236.img.gz --> flash-7641.img)
• Use Win32 Disk Imager to copy the image to the compact flash drive.
• Point to the .img file when using the Win 32 Disk Imager.
• Replace the CF card into the module and the module back in the chassis.
