If possible, you could perform the initial Niagara R2 software installation and startup of a RB-603 or RB-645 retrofit board (as described in this document) in your office, before physically swapping it in place in the JACE-403 or JACE-545 enclosure at a job site. Note this requires such an available enclosure to use in your office for this purpose. Otherwise, you can perform this commissioning at the existing job site. Please refer to the “Installation” section of the RB-603 and RB-645 Retrofit Board Install Guide document for details on installing the retrofit board in an existing JACE-403 or JACE-545 enclosure.

The remainder of this document assumes that you have the JACE nearby, and are able to power it on and off as needed. If you perform this Niagara R2 commissioning in your office, when done you can remove the retrofit board and re-install it in the controller enclosure at the job site, for final checkout.
