Creating an SD Card for the Update

1. The file you downloaded is a ZIP archive.
   Decompress the downloaded file.
   The “td17_sys_v2**” folder appears when decompression is finished.
   * The asterisks (**) indicate the system program version. For Ver.2.00, “td17_sys_v200” is shown.

2. Copy the update file (TD17_UPA.BIN) in the “td17_sys_v2**” folder to the root directory of the SD card (the directory that displays immediately after opening the SD card). Note that after copying the file, you should see both the Roland folder and .BIN file in the same view. Make sure the .BIN file does not get copied into any folders on the SD Card. 
3. Eject/remove the SD card using the method shown below:
   • Windows users
     Use the “Remove Hardware” icon shown on the lower right corner of the screen to disconnect (eject) the SD card, and remove it from the computer.
