(16HW36.x) GOC6.6 Z840 VCT Load From Cold

Prerequisites

Overview

The following procedure describes and illustrates the system software loading process commonly referred to as the Load From Cold (LFC). It is important to follow the steps listed below in order.

note:

For those who are familiar with the LFC process, a quick-reference guide is also included. This Quick Guide contains a flow chart with the abbreviated software load process for those experienced with loading software on this series of consoles. Inexperienced persons should not use the LFC Quick Guide procedure because assumptions are made that the individual already knows how to perform key processes such as System State Save Restore, Options loading and System Configuration. See LFC Quick Guide.

1 Software Deliverable for LightSpeed VCT (GOC6.6 Z840) Console

Procedure

  1. OS Software
  2. CT Applications Software

2 Pre-LFC Checks and Information Gathering
