3.9.2 G1000 System Software Upload
The System Upload page allows a technician to load LRU software and system configuration files
individually or in an automated sequence. Depending on what maintenance is performed, software and/or
configuration files may need to be reloaded to LRUs. Follow the steps below as a guide to use the
System Upload page. The figures contained in the following sections represent software version 0985.04
and later. Earlier software versions are similar.
