Setting Up Additional Drivers
Using the Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP 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 updates pertaining to running the Windows 2000 or XP
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.

Moving the RSLinx
Activation File
About the Activation File
Use the following procedure to move the activation file (evrsi.sys) from the
RSLinx software Master Disk to the hard drive where RSLinx 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.

ProcessLogix Server Upgrade Procedures
ProcessLogix Server
Upgrade Scenarios
Upgrade R320.0 Server to R500.1
ProcessLogix R320.0 Server is certified to run only on Windows NT 4.0. Due
to significant changes in the ProcessLogix platform, operating system, and
performance requirements, upgrading from a ProcessLogix R320.0 Server to a
ProcessLogix R500.1 Server requires that you purchase a new PC and
complete a clean R500.1 Server installation on Windows 2000 Server.
The procedures in this section assume that:
• the old ProcessLogix R320.0 Server(s) and new ProcessLogix R500.1
Server(s) are different PC hardware.
• the new R500.1 Server(s) is fully up and configured at this stage. It
should be configured on the same network as your R320.0 system. If
you need to install ProcessLogix R500.1 on your Server(s),
to Installing ProcessLogix Software on a Clean PC on page 3-1.
• the Servers are on the network and accessible to each other. This
requires that they each have a different name and unique TCP/IP
address for each network card.
