BIOS and Firmwares

The output is similar to the following example:
Where <Hardware Version> is the current version of the DVI-Ramp hardware, and
<Firmware version> is the firmware currently loaded in the DVI ramp. If the
firmware version does not match the hardware version listed in the table that precedes this
procedure, you must perform the firmware update procedure.
Updating the DVI-Ramp Firmware
The firmware on your DVI-Ramp must correspond to the certified version required by your
Effects or Editing application version. If you verified the firmware on your DVI-Ramp and it did
not match the certified version, you must update it. The following procedure describes how to
update the firmware version of the DVI-Ramp.
To update the DVI-Ramp firmware:
1. Go to the DVI_firmwareUpdate directory on the DKU CD. Type:
cd /mnt/cdrom/Utils/DVI_firmwareUpdate
2. From the DVI_firmwareUpdate directory, launch the DVI-Ramp upgrade utility by typing:
./updateDVI
The script checks the hardware version of the DVI-Ramp and then installs the firmware
update. The update should take between 5 and 10 minutes. You can monitor the progress of
the firmware update in the terminal.
The DVI-Ramp is rebooted several times during the firmware update. Any monitors
connected directly to the DVI-Ramp (such as the graphics monitor and/or a broadcast
monitor) will flash each time the DVI-Ramp is rebooted. This is normal and indicates that
the firmware is being updated.
3. Once the firmware update is complete, updated hardware information for your DVI-Ramp
appears in the terminal.
4. If you had to remove the USB-to-Serial adapter, reconnect the serial cable to the adapter,
then put the adapter back in the USB port. Restart the HP workstation.
