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.
7

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.
8
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'.
Gigabit network card
5. Boot up the server and apply 'upgrade-SX2000AR-9x-networkcard-20121109.tgz.enc' on 7.8.X
Server SMSConfigurationAssistanceUSB. 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
A01000 – A01999
A20000 – A20999
5.2
upgrade-serverID_A00xxx…tgz.enc

The upgrade will take under one minute, then a window “Upgrade
completed. Click OK to reboot” will pop up. User should unplug the USB
drive and click OK to reboot the system.
11
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.

After the upgrade is completed, powercycle both the server and projector
with IMB.
IMB marriage and service door clearance are recommended to be done on
the server SMSConfigurationMaintenance AccessGeneralIMB
(For IMB marriage, please refer to the SX-2000 Installation Manual as
process will depend on projector manufacturer and software version).
13
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).
 AdminPanelDiagnostics/MaintenanceSoftware Upgrade (vncviewer
projectorIP:43752 to see the SOM User Interface).
3. Apply the SOM software upgrade package (e.g. named as 'upgrade-SOM-step3-build5620120911.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.
