Using the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System CDs to perform an installation contains only a finite set of drivers for the most common hardware items at the time of its release.
Rockwell Automation considers this set to be the “base” set of drivers. Manufacturers will update their drivers over time to fix anomalies or provide additional features that were not available at the time of their release on the CD. Also, as newer hardware is developed, additional drivers may be required to utilize these devices in the system.

Third Party Platforms

Rockwell Automation recommends that you check your PC Supplier for driver/software upda tes pertain in g to running th e Window s 2 000 Operating System on the platform. It may be necessary to upgrade or install additional drivers to utilize the hardware in your system.
IMPORTANT
Hardware drivers affect the stability of the system and should be evaluated for their impact before implementing.

Other Required System Settings

The following table summarizes the various system operating settings required for optimum ProcessLogix R400.0 software operation.
ATTENTION
If you change any system settings, it may be necessary to restart the PC for the system to apply them.

is to be operated. The PC cannot execute the full OEM version of the RSLinx application if the activation file is not present on its hard drive.
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION
!
Complete Step 1 and Step 2 in the following procedure to determine your current RSLinx version.
If you need to reformat the hard drive, you must first move the activation file back to the RSLinx Master Disk using the same general procedure as follows. Otherwise, the file will be corrupted and you will not be able to run RSLinx in the OEM mode.
Before you attempt to move the activation file, you MUST exit all ProcessLogix applications and stop all ProcessLogix services. Refer to Stopping ProcessLogix Applications and Services on page 8-1.
Do not manually copy or move the evrsi.sys file. Moving/coping the evrsi.sys file will disable the OEM version of RSLinx.
Always use the EVMOVE.EXE program to move the evrsi.sys file. If the evrsi.sys file is corrupted or manually moved, resulting in RSLinx changing to Lite version, you can visit the Rockwell web site (http://suppport.automation.rockwell.com/resetcodes/ ) to recover the RSLinx activation.

Determining the Current RSLinx Version

1. Click StartProgramsRockwell SoftwareRSLinxRSLinx to
open the RSLinx application.

The IconPopToTopOnAlarm option has been removed, and is no longer recognized by Station. Its replacement is FlashWindowOnAlarm, which enables Station to flash its title bar and taskbar icon when an alarm is generated. This behavior is disabled by default. DisConnectTimeout and KeepAliveTimeout settings have been added, and are used to configure fast Station failover. Navigate in Knowledge Builder to

4. Key in the following command:
XCOPY C:\Honeywell\server\data\*.* T:\Honeywell\Server\data.upgrade /S /E
5. If necessary, enter >D< to specify that data.upgrade is a directory.
6. Wait until the C:\ prompt appears and close the DOS window.

Removing the RSLinx Software Activation File

It is possible to transfer your RSLinx Activation codes from the old system to the new system. To move the activation file from your R320.0 Server,
1. Locate the RSLinx Master Disk and insert it into the floppy drive.
2. Click Start
Run.
3. Key in this path location in the Open entry field or use Browse to navigate to the evmove.exe file on the diskette.

Restarting SERVERB and synchronizing

If you are upgrading a non-redundant Ser ver, skip to Imp ort in g the ProcessLogix Server Points Database on page 4-10.
On redundant systems, prior to this step, the SERVERB node should have been turned off. Perform the following steps to bring SERVERB back on-line.
1. Power on SERVERB.
2. Logon to SERVERB as ps_user.
