2.5.4 GIA 63 Boot Block Update
For GIA 63s, boot block version 4.01 or higher is required. Some GIAs with older dates of manufacture
may not have this version. If it was determined in the previous software loading procedure that the
GIA 63s did not have boot block version 4.01 or higher, follow this procedure to update the GIA 63’s
software boot block. Note that this does not apply to GIA 63Ws.
IMPORTANT!
It is critical that electrical power be kept on during the boot block update procedure.
Take steps to ensure that a 28 VDC ground power supply is properly connected and is not
disturbed during the update.

in Table 1-1. Referenced Documentation

power to the G1000.

key.
