V90 Firmware Update Process For End User

This document provides instructions for updating the firmware on SINAMICS V90 servo drives. It outlines preparing an SD card with the firmware files, inserting the SD card into the drive, monitoring the status lights during the update, verifying the new firmware version, and completing the process by setting parameters to default and saving. The process normally takes place with the RDY light red and COM light orange and flashing, but issues may occur if an unsupported card is used or files are missing or corrupt.
