Planning forms that the project manager provides

prepare for this installation. The information primarily consists of:
IP addresses
Subnet mask addresses
Logins and passwords
People to contact
The type of system
Equipment you need to install
Verify that the information provided by the project manager includes all the information
requested in your planning forms.
Tip:
Tip: Appendix B: Information checklists, provides several checklists to help you
gather the installation and upgrade information.
Setting up the TFTP server on your laptop or
on a customer PC, if necessary
A tar.gz file, which you obtain from a CD-ROM or a website, contains new G700 firmware. To
install the firmware on a G700, you must place this tar.gz file on a TFTP server that is
connected to the customer’s LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer, or it can be
your laptop, if you have arranged with the customer to connect your laptop to the LAN.
Note:
Note: A Linux or Unix TFTP server should be used only if the customer already has an
existing one. In these cases, you download the tar.gz file to your laptop and give
it to the customer for proper placement and execution.
