Create a directory on a sd card called 'romdata' and transfer the firmware (.fwu) files over to that directory.
Insert the sd card into the top sd slot on the controller and turn the MFD on, follow the onscreen instructions.

*Note, large sd cards may not work.

Cipher is correct : large SD Cards do not work.You will need a 512Mb SD card or smaller....

I have a simple batch file program that extracts only the *.fwu files from the firmware *.zip and *.exe files and stores them on the
SD card under the "romdata" directory. If you want it I can post it to the forum. It's a simple text program so don't worry about viruses or any thing like that. You can config the batch file for your own needs.

You will need the command line Zip-7.exe extractor program free download off the net.
Download 7-Zip from SourceForge.net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/4.65/7za465.zip/download)

Set the unzip.bat up on a desktop shortcut or run the batch file from dos window and all the firmware.zip/exe files are multi-processed in one move onto the SD card. It's Good if your always in a hurry like me....

Or you can use the WIM to update the firmware remotely. Use the .rfu extension.

Select Configuration �� Device Settings ��Firmware Update (ROM Update on older devices) the browse for the firmware path.
Check where you can see on MP 171 the WIM firmware update option.

1 GB sd card also work... tested by me in one 161 and on Aficio 3030.
