Forcing an update when RSU is disabled
In case the Remote Software Update feature has been disabled, updates can still be performed using

browse until you find the [Update SW] option.Press ‘OK’ and wait for the device to perform the update.

Switch on RSU using the platform where the device retrieves its configuration
Make the Lisa update the software using the service menu
Switch on the RSU or load the software directly into the Lisa using the
