• Run the Upgrade Tool Disk provided in the upgrade kit.
• Load the Delphi Software.

Upgrade Scanner
• Replace the Detector Assembly and A/D Board with the 128-Channel Detector
Assembly.
• Replace the cable from the C-Arm Interface Board to the A/D Board with a new cable
that will connect the C-Arm Interface Board directly to the 128-Channel Detector
Assembly.
• Replace the fixed Aperture Plate with the Delphi Aperture Assembly.
• Perform an Aperture Calibration per the instructions in the Alignment and Calibration
