4.1 Preparing the disk

You want to use a high quality DVD-R (Not a DVD+R, CD-R, etc.)

1. Use a CD Burner software to write the ISO onto the disk. Use following settings:

• Writing Speed: 1x (max. 5x)
• Verify cycles: As many as possible (I would recommend at least doing 3)

4.2 Installing it on the RNS

Do not install with activated ignition or running engine. Just don't put the key in. Connect the battery to an battery charger to ensure no power loss Do not try to pause or stop the update
