General remarks
This procedure describes the steps necessary to install the Radis VB21 SW on the AXIOM
Aristos Image System for the 1st time, e.g. only if VB10 or VB20 was on the system
before.
NOTE Please observe:

PCs shipped from spare part stocks normally carry the latest
version of the RADIS software. Also an installation after, e.g.
a system crash, requires different steps. In these cases, skip
this chapter and go to the appropriate paragraph according
the table of contents.
NOTICE This chapter describes the software installation for VB21

using clone DVDs for M430/M440/M460 PCs and clone CDs
for Celsius 400/460/M410 PCs.
¹ Follow chapter headlines, notes and hints closely!
NOTE User of System Management:

With the upgrade to VB21, there is also a change from a
CA-based agent to an HP-based agent. To avoid trouble-
shooting with this change, please check/confirm with the
customer IT representative that ports 12061 & 13001 are
open.
• The following is an outline of some of the work steps that will be covered in this chapter:
