Verifying DVI-Ramp and DVI-Ramp

Firmware
The firmware on your DVI-Ramp must correspond to the certified version required by your
Effects or Editing application version. Each firmware is itself associated to a DVI-Ramp version
and a hardware version. If the firmware on your DVI-Ramp does not match the hardware
version listed in the table below, you must update the firmware to the certified version.
The DVI-Ramp firmware update utilities required to check your firmware version and perform
the update are included with the DKU version associated with the release of your Effects or
Editing application. The following procedure describes how to verify the firmware version of
the DVI-Ramp.
To verify the firmware version of the DVI-Ramp:
1. With the DVI-Ramp connected to your workstation and powered up, log in as root and
open a terminal.
2. Insert the DKU CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Mount the CD-ROM by typing:
mount /mnt/cdrom

If your workstation has multiple CD-ROM drives, the drive containing the DKU CD may
not be mapped as
/mnt/cdrom
. You can use any mapped CD-ROM drive for this procedure by
using the appropriate mount point for the CD-ROM drive in your workstation in these steps.
4. Go to the DVI_firmwareUpdate directory on the DKU CD. Type:
cd /mnt/cdrom/Utils/DVI_firmwareUpdate
5. Run the info command to scan the DVI-Ramp’s current firmware. Type:
./info

If your DVI-Ramp unit is connected to the HP workstation using a USB-to-Serial
adapter, you must remove the adapter from the USB port, and connect the serial cable of the DVI-
Ramp to the serial port of the workstation. This does not apply to DVI-Ramp

units.
