Identifying Your VX7
Some features discussed in this document may not be available for all VX7’s. Additionally, some
features require a certain revision level of system software.
Any feature that is not identified as platform specific or requiring a certain level of system
software is available to all VX7’s.
Hardware Platforms
P
To determine the platform level of your VX7, please refer to the VX7 serial
number decal.
Platform 1 VX7
VX7’s identified as Platform 1 by a P1 notation on the serial number decal (and VX7’s with no
platform identification on the serial number decal) are referred to as Platform 1 VX7’s. These
VX7’s DO NOT support the features identified as “Platform 2” throughout this manual.
Note: If software revision 1ED or greater is installed, “LXE VX7 Platform 1” is displayed
during boot up. See “Software Revisions”, below, to determine the software revision
installed on the VX7. If no software revision is displayed during bootup, the VX7 is a
Platform 1 type as all Platform 2 VX7’s ship with software revision 1ED or greater.
Platform 2 VX7
VX7’s identified as Platform 2 by a P2 notation on the serial number decal support all features,
including those noted as Platform 2 specific.
Note: If software revision 1ED or greater is installed, “LXE VX7 Platform 2” is displayed
during boot up. See “Software Revisions”, below, to determine the software revision
installed on the VX7.
Software Revisions
S
Some features described in this manual require a certain minimum revision level of
system software. These features are available on all VX7’s if the proper revision
level (or newer) of system software is installed.
The software revision is displayed during boot up and on the default desktop wallpaper. The
revision can also be viewed using the Start | Settings | Control Panel | About icon. For more
information, please refer to Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
To upgrade the VX7 with a newer revision of system software, please refer to “Reflash the VX7”
in Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
