3. Job Set-up
Subtask 31-36-00-860-148-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
(2) Do a printout of the engine and APU hours and cycles (Ref. AMM TASK 31-36-00-740-015).

NOTE: The software load can erase the data of the engine and APU hours and cycles in the FDIMU. The printout gives a hard copy of this data. If necessary, refer to the printout to correct the engine and APU hours and cycles later.
All modifications done before through MCDU programming menu can be lost after the software loading. Reports counters are also set to their initial condition.

(3) Make sure that the aircraft is in ground configuration (landing gear compressed and all engines stopped).
(4) Make sure that the [10TVMD2] with the [10TVSW2] are in writeprotected status (writeprotection ON).

4. Procedure
Subtask 31-36-00-710-149-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. System Software Load Procedure

NOTE: The standard system software package has two system media disks. System software updates in the future can have more than two disks in the package. All software disks has to be loaded until the loading procedure is completed.

NOTE: If the PDL has the digital signature check, the PDL can trigger two messages:

When the software has no signature (refer to the PDL user guide), this message has no effect on the A/C software upload and you can ignore it.
When the signature is incorrect or corrupted (refer to the PDL user guide), the software upload is not possible and it is necessary to use other software.

As a data security precaution, Airbus recommends that the user does a report of the fault to his Aircraft Security Focal Point.
