GIA SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND TESTING

Original GIA Reinstalled:
No software or configuration loading is required if the removed GIA is reinstalled in its original
position (GIA1 and GIA2 in their original racks). This does not include units that were returned
for repair as their software and configuration files are deleted during the repair testing process.
Original GIA Installed in Opposite Locations for Troubleshooting:
No software loading is required if the originally installed GIA units are re-installed in opposite
positions (GIA1 and GIA2 in opposite unit racks). However, the units must be re-configured.
Follow these instructions to reconfigure the units without requiring the software loader card:
1. With the system turned off, remove the GIA63 units and install in the opposite location
(i.e. GIA1 into the GIA2 slot and vice versa).
2. Apply system power, insuring both MFD and PFD are in Configuration Mode.
3. On the PFD, use the FMS knob to navigate to the GIA RS-232/ARNIC 429 CONFIG
page.
4. In the SELECT UNIT box in the upper left corner of the screen, verify GIA1 is listed.
5. Press the SET>ACTV softkey in the lower left corner of the screen.
6. When the "Activate parameter settings?" window appears, verify OK is highlighted and
press the ENT key.
7. When the "GIA #1 Configured" window shows "Complete", press the ENT key to select
OK in the window.
