Updating the System Software
When you upgrade your 751G, you are updating the operating system
(OS) and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) files.
The PSM files are stored in the Flash File Store region, and deliver
Intermec value-added functionality such as data collection, unit
configuration and diagnostics, the Intermec wireless security suite, and the
SmartSystems™ Foundation.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to
your desktop PC. Contact your Intermec representative for web browser
information, then do the following:
1 Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at the location
given by your representative.
2 Click the applicable link, fill out the appropriate information, then click
Submit Information. Click OK to continue.
3 Click the link and download the .zip file to your PC.
4 Follow the steps in one of the next sections:
• If using a storage card to upgrade the 751G, see below.
• If using the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the 751G, see “Using
the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the Computer” on page 105.
Using a Storage Card to Upgrade the Computer
To use a Secure Digital card to upgrade the 751G, you need a Secure
Digital card reader and a Secure Digital card formatted as FAT.
1 Locate the storage card access door at the top of the 751G, remove its
two screws, remove the door, then remove the storage card. See the
Model 751G Mobile Computer Quick Start Guide (P/N 962-054-093) for
more information.
This shows the top of the 751G. Note the keypad is to the bottom.

required upgrade files to the storage card.
3 Remove the storage card from your card reader, reinstall it in the 751G.

cold-boot. Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the Reset
Note: The 751G currently supports Delkin Secure Digital cards only.
