GDU SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND TESTING

Insure Jeppesen aviation database is present. Refer to Section 10 for aviation
database update instructions.
Original Display Reinstalled:
If the removed display(s) are reinstalled in their original positions, no software or configuration
loading is required. This does not include units that were returned for repair as their software
and configuration files are deleted during the repair testing process.
New, Repaired or Exchange Display(s) Installed:
If a new, repaired, or exchange GDU is installed; the correct software, configuration and
Jeppesen aviation database files must be loaded to the unit. Retain the database SD card(s)
from the original display to install in the new display after loading software. See Section 10 for
aviation database update instructions.
If replacing the PFD with a new, repaired, or exchanged GDU, the new GDU
must be placed in the MFD location and the GDU system files loaded there to
prevent calibration and other configuration data residing in the PFD config
module from being deleted. It is not necessary to install a display in the PFD
position to load GDU software into a display installed in the MFD position. After
loading GDU software into the display in the MFD position, turn off the system
and move the GDU to the PFD position in the instrument panel and continue the
install by loading the configuration files.
7.2.1 GDU Software
1. Remove the supplemental database cards from the bottom slots of each display. Note
which one was removed from the MFD so it may be identified later for reinsertion in the MFD
when software and configuration loading are complete. It might contain a FliteChart® or
ChartView database which is only used in the MFD.
2. Insert the software loader card into the top slot of the GDU which was replaced.
