Stratagy Installation Guide

Before You Install Stratagy in Strata DK...
please read and complete both sides of this checklist.
This checklist only highlights important installation information. Please reference the Stratagy IVP8 or
Stratagy DK Installation Guide for details on programming individual features, etc. Unless otherwise noted in
these instructions, references to Stratagy apply to both the Stratagy DK (Release 3.3) and Stratagy IVP8
products.
CAUTION! After making any significant program changes to the Stratagy, it is recommended the system be
properly shut down and restarted. This copies the most current database to the
C:\Stratagy\Archive\Good directory for use by the Automatic System Recovery feature (see
“Automatic System Recovery” on page 42 in the Stratagy IVP8 or
Stratagy DK Installation Guide).
Failure to do so could result in the loss of customer information if the system loses power before it
is properly shutdown and rebooted.

Whenever handling Stratagy, always wear the anti-static wrist strap (included); keep the strap by the unit.
❐ Always hold the unit by its edges. Remember that an electrostatic charge from your body, even your own
body oils can damage the Stratagy.
❐ Never drop or jar the Stratagy! Care should be taken whenever handling the unit.
❐ Temperature changes greater than 20°F cause condensation on Stratagy’s hard drive. If there is such a
temperature variation, wait 24 hours before installation.
❐ Always keep the Stratagy in its individual shipping box until it’s time to install it in the Strata DK.
❐ Never transport the Stratagy inside the Strata DK.

Stratagy Admin Release 3 software is only supported with the Stratagy Flash, Stratagy DK Release 3 and
Stratagy IVP8. Use with any Release 2 Stratagy system may cause erratic behavior.
❐ Local Administration? You’ll need a PC, 5MB hard drive space, 3.5” 1.44 floppy drive, and 580KB free
RAM. You’ll also need a 9-pin null-modem serial cable or Toshiba’s SG-ADMCBL cable to connect your PC
to the Stratagy.
❐ Remote (modem) Administration? Use Stratagy Admin software with Stratagy’s internal (soft)
2400-baud modem. No additional equipment is necessary.
...or use Toshiba’s 9600 baud SG-FMOD modem or a Hayes-compatible, 14.4 baud, V32.bis modem
connected to Stratagy’s serial Port 2. You’ll need a customer-supplied 9-pin serial cable.
