C: Installing Hardware
Software Manual |System Galaxy 7
Installation of hardware and wiring specifications are covered in the System Galaxy Hardware
Manual. The 508i Hardware Addendum gives break-out information about the 508i CPU Board,
on-board TCP/IP and setting dipswitch options. The 508i Addendum also includes specific
instructions on Verifying and Loading Flash.
IF YOUR JOB IS A NEW INSTALL – YOU MUST VERIFY THAT ALL 508I CPU BOARDS HAVE
THE CORRECT FLASH. Due to ongoing software and firmware development – boards can have
different versions of flash than what the software S28 code uses. With SG-7 the S28 code has
EXPANDED functionality. YOU MUST USE THE S28 CODE THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE
SOFTWARE. Verify the CPU flash version matches the S28 file (STEPS are in the 508i
Hardware Addendum – and flash as appropriate.)
IF YOUR JOB IS AN UPGRADE – YOU MUST REPLACE ALL 508 NON-i-SERIES CPU’S WITH
508i Boards and YOU MUST PLAN ON FLASHING ALL BOARDS. The 508i CPU must match the
S28 of the Software. 508i Hardware Addendum gives verification and flashing instructions.
Flashing Boards is also covered in Chapter 5 of this Manual.
D: Preparing for Software Installation
Just as was done for the hardware installation, some planning and preparation is necessary.
Chapter 3 of this manual covers the preparations for installing the system and software.
Chapter 3 walks the installer through the steps for software setup. It is a good practice to cover
this information with the customer as early as possible for a smooth and efficient installation.
Templates are provided to help the installer and customer decide how the software will be
configured.
