Topic: How to edit Firmware for e3d v6 thermistor on SD4

As the title suggests, I'm in need of instruction on how to update the firmware of the SD4 to the new thermistor.

I know the following:

Reconfigure your firmware for the Semitec 104GT2 thermistor:
In Marlin this means using thermistor definition number 5:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5
In Repetier Firmware use thermistor definition number 8:
#define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 8

For safety it is strongly recommended configure your firmware to limit the maximum heater power:
In Marlin this means using thermistor definition number 5:
#define PID_MAX 255
In Repetier Firmware use thermistor definition number 8:
#define EXT0_PID_MAX 255

But my question isn't what contents to edit, it's HOW to edit, what/where the firmware is accessed.

No where on the board is this indicated in writing.  I can say this is the SD4 from October ordered directly from Solidoodle.  From the pictures I have seen on images.google.com, I would say yes, it is the PrintRBoard.
