If you have purchased the SSP-140 or SPC-120 panel PC from Soft Servo Systems, Inc., all software will be
preinstalled for you, and you can skip this chapter in its entirety.
Before you begin installing the ServoWorks S-100T software, you must make sure that you meet the necessary PC
hardware and operating system requirements. See the subsection about PC requirements in the Do You Have the
Necessary Requirements for the VersioBus Interface System? section in the ServoWorks CNC Setup and Integration
Manual for your servo interface system if you haven’t already checked for these requirements.
