	#Remove the LX800 card from its anti-static bag and verify the CMOS battery jumper, J31, is properly installed. The jumper may be shipped in the off position to conserve the CMOS battery. The jumper position 1-2 enables the battery (See Figure 1). If using the external battery option, jumper J31 must be removed. Place the jumper on one pin so it will be available for future use. Place back into the bag until needed.		#Remove the LX800 card from its anti-static bag and verify the CMOS battery jumper, J31, is properly installed.

	#Remove the RJ45 pass-through jack (near the telco jacks) labeled “NIC” and install the RJ45 adapter cable jack in its place. If APU doesn’t have a NIC connector, remove the RJ11pass-through jack for LINE 2. Install the RJ45 adapter cable jack in its place. The removed RJ11 jack and cable can be left loose inside the enclosure.

	#If upgrading from a network stack Pentium (LPM-TX), the COM4 should already be properly configured. If replacement or modification is required, remove the cables to the COM4 card and remove it from the card cage. The COM4 must be replaced with a network compatible COM4N or existing COM4 must be modified for network use. Refer to document 376-0029-05 to modify the COM4 for shared interrupt/network operation.		#If upgrading from a network stack Pentium (LPM-TX), the COM4 should already be properly configured.
