3. BEFORE THE UPGRADE

3.1 Backup

Create a snapshot of the OS partition with Rescue mode before you try to apply the upgrade. Note that the Rescue mode function is only available for SATA OS hard disk. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, please refer to the document GDC_system_backup_and_recovery.

3.2 Swapping IMB

1. Power off the server and projector.

2. Remove the original Media Block from projector (SX-2000).

3. Remove the Enigma board from Projector (Barco S2 projectors).

4. Install the New IMB into Projector.

5. Power on the projector and server.

3.3 Connections

1. Make sure the IMB is powered up inside the projector correctly.

2. SX-2000A/T eth0 IP must NOT be 192.168.1.X (recommend it to be 192.168.0.X).

3. SX-2000A/T eth0 is connected to projector Ethernet (either directly or via switch).

4. SX-2000A/T eth2 IP must NOT be 192.168.1.X. eth2 is available after installing the additional gigabit network card.

5. SX-2000A/T eth1 is directly connected to IMB Ethernet 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Projector should not use 192.168.2.X IP as this IP range is reserved for IMB internal use. If projector IP is set to 192.168.2.X, the server will not be able to connect to the security manager (SM) after upgrade.

3.4 Notes

1. SX-2000(A/T)R server serial number and HFR IMB serial number should be the same, please

request this from your service provider. 2. Perform the marriage of the HFR IMB with the projector on the projector’s interface or in the

server’s SMS. 3. After replacement of the HFR IMB, the below screen (Figure 1) will be shown after rebooting.

This is normal.

8

Figure 1 Error message after replacement of the IMB.

4. INSTALLING THE ADDITIONAL GIGABIT NETWORK

CARD

For TMS/LMS data connection

1. Remove old IMB from the projector. 2. Remove PCI-e adaptor card from the server.

9

3. Remove GPIO card from the server (if it exists).

4. Insert the additional gigabit network card into the same PCIe slot that was used by the PCI-e adaptor card. The tested gigabit network card model is 'INTEL Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter'.

5. Boot up the server and apply 'upgrade-SX2000AR-9x-networkcard-20121109.tgz.enc' on 7.8.X Server SMSConfigurationAssistanceUSB. This upgrade prompts an error if the server eth0 or eth1 has 192.168.1.x IP. After the upgrade and reboot on the server, eth2 appears on the server Control Panel and AdminPanel Network as 192.168.1.13. Please do not change this IP.

6. Check that the HFR IMB is installed inside the projector properly and power up the projector and IMB.

7. Server eth1 is directly connected to IMB Ethernet 2.

8. Server eth0 is connected to projector Ethernet port (either directly or via a switch).

9. Server eth2 (from the installed gigabit card) can be used for transferring content from the TMS/LMS as in normal operation.

5. UPGRADE PROCEDURE

5.1 Run the ServerID Upgrade

“ServerID upgrade” prepares your server for the DCI software upgrade and MUST run before running the main upgrade.

The following upgrade package must run based on your serial number:

A00000 – A00999 upgrade-serverID_A00xxx…tgz.enc

A01000 – A01999 upgrade-serverID_A01xxx…tgz.enc

A20000 – A20999 upgrade-serverID_A20xxx…tgz.enc

5.2 Apply Upgrade Package 1

6. APPLY UPGRADE PACKAGE 2 Case 1: If the system (server/IMB/projector) is already a SX-2000(A/T)R system, please ensure the system (server/IMB/projector) is able to playback a DCP from the server right before applying the incremental upgrade to a newer build version.

This is to guarantee IMB will be able to access the server storage (no matter through server eth1 or server eth2) successfully for some upgrade files.

Server eth2 is available when the additional gigabit network card is installed in the server (section 4).

If the IMB is not able to access the server storage during the incremental upgrade, i.e. without checking that the system is able to playback a DCP from the server, the upgrade may fail and the IMB LED will display a RED color after reboot. When this happens, only a GDC authorized personnel can recover the system. Case 2: When converting the SX-2000A server to work with HFR IMB, please ensure the incremental upgrade package version is the same as the IMB build version. e.g. if the IMB build version is build55 and the incremental upgrade package version is given as build56, please request build55 upgrade package when converting the SX-2000A server to work with the IMB of version build55. After successfully converting the server and IMB, then follow case 1 to update to a newer build 56.

Figure 5 Apply package 2.

1 After reboot, go to SMS->Configuration->Assistance->USB Disk again.

2 Apply package 2 as indicated in Figure 5.

3 Same as Section5.2, reboot the server after the upgrade.

SOM (Option, required for MPEG2 playback) If the SOM option is included with the IMB, please follow the steps in this

section to integrate.

7.1 Preparing the SOM OS

Please request from your service provider to produce the SOM OS for the IMB with the corresponding serial number.

Note that the upgrade files shall be downloaded and put inside a USB stick and insert into one of the front USB port on IMB after SOM is booted up. To verify SOM boot up properly, vncviewer projectorIP:43752 shall see AdminPanel on SOM. Below are the steps to get SOM OS up to date: 1. Request somID package for the correct serial number on SOM. 2. Apply the somID package on SOM (not server).

AdminPanelDiagnostics/MaintenanceSoftware Upgrade (vncviewer projectorIP:43752 to see the SOM User Interface).

3. Apply the SOM software upgrade package (e.g. named as 'upgrade-SOM-step3-build56-

20120911.tgz.enc') on SOM (not server) in the same way as Step 2.

4. SOM (not server) AdminPanel->Diagnostics/Maintenance->Software Upgrade should be used for future SOM upgrades.

7.2 How to Update the SOM OS Serial Number

In the case that the SOM OS received from production does not have any serial number (SOMp2:/usr/local/dsr/serial does not exist/exists but empty) or you need to use a SOM OS for a different serial number on your IMB.

Below are the notes to update the SOM OS serial number: 1. Simply use a CF card reader on a PC and create SOMp2:/usr/local/dsr/serial (without any

suffix) on the CF card, the file shall contain the same serial number as IMB, e.g. A01357.

2. Put the CF card back onto the IMB and follow Section 7.1 to get the SOM OS up and running.

3. The SOMp2:/usr/local/dsr/serial file will be deleted after the SOM boots up.

4. When the SOM OS serial number is updated, please re-run the steps from Section 7.1.

8. PREPARING FOR PLAYBACK

Figure 8 Turn off the server.

1 Click server SMS->Shutdown->Shutdown to turn off the server. After the server is turned off, the IMB/SOM on projector will be down as well, so the projector must be off.

2 Power off the projector.

3 Power on the projector.

4 Power on the server.

10. CAUTION

1. Please use Server SMSShutdownShutdown to turn off the server and IMB. 2. After the server and IMB are turned off, the projector may indicate communication lost to the

IMB; the projector must be rebooted for next playback.
