how to update a pair of garmin 8612s

I read from the manual that i needed to update the 8612 to use active captain and use the sd card for the update. I loaded an sd card card then went to the boat. I removed the units and they both had 8g cards in them. I had a 32g so i pulled an 8 and put in my 32.The unit indicated it saw the update and would i like to proceed.I said yes and it looked like it would be a while so went for lunch. Came back and the unit i updated would not show charts. I assumed the update did both units at the same time. Now i am wondering if i messed up and need to do each unit. I am confused by having two identical units networked. How should i be treating these? Active captain come up on my phone but how do i know which one i am looking at. I am confused on how to proceed.
