GP 9 IDFE Software Installation (CD-ROM) Procedure
Description
This procedure is used to install software for the IDFE by using a CD-ROM. Refer to
IDFE Software Update (CD-ROM)
for the procedure to update software for the IDFE.
NOTE: The installation CD-ROM completely reformats the IDFE Hard Disk Drive and re-initial-
izes the printer's network configuration parameters. You will lose all information stored on the
Hard Disk Drive. You will also lose your network configuration parameter setups.
Software installations will change network parameters and require that customers re-establish
Printer/IDFE network parameters. When in doubt always run a configuration report first and
verify that Printer/IDFE network parameters are correct.
NOTE: After completing the following procedure, ensure that the CD-ROM has been removed
from the CD-ROM Drive. If the CD-ROM is not removed from the Drive the Controller will boot
from the CD-ROM each time the Controller is switched-on.
