LRU SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND TESTING
7.1

INTRODUCTION

This section describes how to upload software and configuration files to a replacement LRU.
Section 10 explains how to completely reinstall software for the first time after the upload which
took place at the time of the original G1000 installation (refer to the installation manual for
detailed information).
•
DO NOT ALLOW POWER TO BE REMOVED FROM THE G1000 SYSTEM
WHEN LOADING SOFTWARE. Connect a ground power unit to the aircraft
for software loading. Do not rely on only the aircraft batteries during the
software loading process. Power loss during a software upgrade may cause
a LRU to become corrupted and unresponsive requiring replacement.
Replacing corrupted units are not covered under warranty. Remove power
only when told to do so by the procedure.
•
Make sure the software loader card has the correct software version
before loading any files into the G1000 system. Loading the files from a
previous software version loader card will prevent the system from operating
correctly. Verify the software part number on the MFD AUX – SYSTEM
STATUS
"ldr_part_nmbr.txt" file on the loader card.
•
Place all GDU displays in the same mode (configuration or normal) for
loading software unless instructed differently. If the displays are not in
the same mode the software load may not be successful.
•
Verify the presence or non-presence of GIA63 WAAS units to help you
choose the correct software to load (see Figures 7-1 and 7-2). Loading
WAAS software into a non-WAAS unit or vice-versa may make the unit
inoperable. Unit repairs due to loading the wrong software is not covered
under warranty.
