confirm the flash version, observe the screen while booting from drive D. If
necessary, see the above instructions or those instructions provided in the

Master Mode Boot cycle provides a reboot technique for an HHC that does not
have functioning software in flash memory (absent or corrupted contents).
If there is a problem with the IFL image, see the
