3 ESD RulesESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety rules are to be respected while assembling, repairing, orupgrading hardware on all Doremi products.The Basic rules and elements of ESD control are the following:1. Grounded personnel:• All technicians must wear ESD safe smocks, wrist straps, and heel strapsproperly attached.• Use the ESD Tester for wrist/heel straps (footwear) often ( 3-4 times a day) totest yourself.• Never touch a sensitive component or assembly unless properly grounded.• Always assume that all electronic (solid-state) components and assemblies aresensitive to ESD damage.2. Always do the work on static safe work surfaces/work stations/desks. Make sure yourdesk and wrist strap ground outlets are connected to the building ground.3. Be aware of the static generating materials that you work with.4. Always use grounded cards during loading/unloading of ESD devices.5. Never transport, store, or handle sensitive components or assemblies except in a staticsafeenvironment (ESD static bags).6. Always store ESD devices using safe tote boxes.7. Personnel Training:• Training courses should be required for all employees who handle or otherwisecome into contact with ESD items.• The training program and the level of ESD protection should be tailored to theneeds and sensitivity of the product or production area.• Recurrent training for personnel should be an integral part of the program.SHV.DP.001968.DRM Page 9 Version 1.2Doremi Cinema LLC Confidential

4 Unit PreparationCAUTION: During the procedure presented in this document, you will have to remove screwsfrom the unit. Make sure NOT to lose the screws. Keep the screws in a secure location, as youwill have to re-use them when putting back the components at various stages of the procedure.Make sure to save the original packaging that the parts come in, as it will be used later toreturn the Dolphin Media Block and the AES card.For the conversion procedure presented in this document, the DCP-2K4 unit must be removedfrom its operating location and put in a safe area (far from other devices and on a surface fittedwith an anti-static mat) as presented in Figure 19.1) The power must be disconnected:• Power off the unit and unplug both power cables.CAUTION: To power off the DCP-2K4 safely, select SHUT DOWN from the LOGOUTmenu: Menu → Logout... and select Shutdown. Any other method might damage theRAID and result in RAID failure.Note: You might have to disconnect other cables in order to put the unit in a proper place (fittedwith anti-static setting) for this operation. In this case, you might want to put a mark with a labelon each cable you remove to facilitate their re-installation at the end of the procedure (e.g., AEScable, GPIO Cable, etc).2) Remove the DCP-2K4 from its rack and put it in a location (e.g., desk) where you haveroom to perform the procedure. Make sure to follow the ESD rules set by your company.Section 3 for a general overview.ScrewLocationsScrewLocationsFigure 19: DCP-2K4SHV.DP.001968.DRM Page 10 Version 1.2Doremi Cinema LLC Confidential

The hardware installation is now complete.Figure 53: Serial Number Sticker5.2 Assigning the Chassis Serial NumberBecause the Chassis Serial number for the unit has changed, the software must be configuredwith the new serial number. To configure the new serial number of the chassis, connect thepower cables to the ShowVault unit, turn it on, and allow it to fully boot up. After boot up iscomplete, use the following command to assign the chassis its new serial number, and confirmit with the Unit S/N sticker on the rear panel of the unit (Figure 53):• Open a terminal (Menu → System → Terminal).• Log in as root. Ask your Supervisor for proper login credentials.• type: mount -orw,remount / • type: rwdo echo UUU-NNNNNN | tee /etc/chassis ◦ where UUU-NNNNNN is the unit serial number, UUU representing the 3 digitsprefix showing the product name (e.g. SV3 for a ShowVault-3, SV4 for aShowVault-4) and NNNNNN represents the 6 digit number.◦ Note: The serial number is found on the back of the unit (Figure 53).To read the existing chassis serial number, use one of the following methods:• Command Line Method◦ Open a new terminal (Menu → System → Terminal).◦ Log in as root. Ask your Supervisor for proper login credentials◦ type: cat /etc/chassis • About window◦ Go to Menu → About, and check the chassis number entry as illustrated below(Figure 54):SHV.DP.001968.DRM Page 23 Version 1.2Doremi Cinema LLC Confidential
