Identifying Your VX6

Some features discussed in this document may not be available for all VX6's. Additionally, some
features require a certain revision level of system software.
Any feature that is not identified as platform specific or requiring a certain level of system
software is available to all VX6's.

Hardware Platforms

P
Platform 1 VX6
VX6's identified as Platform 1 by a P1 notation on the serial number decal (and VX6's with no
platform identification on the serial number decal) are referred to as Platform 1 VX6's. These
VX6's DO NOT support the features identified as "Platform 2" throughout this manual.
Note:
Platform 2 VX6
VX6's identified as Platform 2 by a P2 notation on the serial number decal support all features,
including those noted as Platform 2 specific.
Note:

Software Revisions

revision can also be viewed using the Start | Settings | Control Panel | About icon. For more
information, please refer to Chapter 3, "System Configuration".

To determine the platform level of your VX6, please refer to the VX6 serial
number decal.
If software revision 1ED or greater is installed, "LXE VX6 Platform 1" is displayed
during boot up. See "Software Revisions", below, to determine the software revision
installed on the VX6. If no software revision is displayed during bootup, the VX6 is a
Platform 1 type as all Platform 2 VX6's ship with software revision 1ED or greater.
If software revision 1ED or greater is installed, "LXE VX6 Platform 2" is displayed
during boot up. See "Software Revisions", below, to determine the software revision
installed on the VX6.
Some features described in this manual require a certain minimum revision level of
system software. These features are available on all VX6's if the proper revision
level (or newer) of system software is installed.
