Thor VM2 OS Upgrade
Introduction
Depending on the size of the operating system, the total time required for a successful
upgrade may require several minutes.
The OS upgrade files are unique to your Thor VM2 physical configuration and date of
manufacture. OS upgrade files designed for one device configuration should not be
used on a different device configuration.
When upgrading the OS or firmware on a Thor VM2, it is best to perform the upgrade
using either Wavelink Avalanche or with an external USB keyboard attached.
There may be firmware and BIOS upgrades available for the Thor VM2. Contact
for upgrade information and instructions. In some cases, it may be
necessary to upgrade firmware before upgrading the operating system.
