DVN 5000 Server Upgrade Instructions

This document contains confidential and proprietary information of Johnson Controls, Inc.

This document provides instructions for field upgrading the Digital Vision Network (DVN)

5000 Series server to software Release 2.9. The DVN 5000 may be upgraded using the DVN

System Upgrade Recovery USB Flash Drive or DVD provided in the following kit:

 DVN-SYSFLASH-16

IMPORTANT NOTES

 Information in this document is for Johnson Controls Branch office use only.

 The instructions provided in this document should be performed only by a qualified

DVN technician (in Europe, technicians must be DVN-certified in case they need

to open the DVN’s case). Mishandling of the DVN by an unqualified or uncertified

individual resulting in damage to the system voids the DVN’s warranty.

 To view a list of new features included in software Release 2.9, refer to the

DVN

5000 and 100-NET Series Version 2.9 Software Release Notes (Part Number

24-10318-29).

 Another upgrade option is available that enables you to upgrade the DVN 5000

Rackmount by replacing the system drive, which may be easier when upgrading

DVN

5000 Rackmount units with a 5-bay RAID chassis. For more information,

refer to the DVN 5000 Series System Drive Replacement Instructions (Part Number

24-10129-98).

 Desktop Models Only: Upgrading to software Release 2.9 on DVN 5000 Desktop

Series models results in a total loss of video data. Before proceeding with the

instructions in this document, save and export any important data to an external

storage device. See the DVN

5000 Series Software Installation and Configuration

Manual (Part Number 24-10248-5) and the DVN

5000 Series Software User

Manual (Part Number 24-10248-13) for instructions on saving and exporting video

footage.

 If you are instructed to open the DVN during the upgrade process, unplug the

DVN

5000 from its power source (wall socket or UPS device) prior to opening the

unit.

 During the installation procedure, you may observe an error message generated by

the sstore.exe process. This does not affect DVN operation and can be ignored.

UPGRADE CHECKLIST

This section provides a checklist to help you quickly upgrade a DVN 5000 Series server to

software Release 2.9. The checklist provides only the essential steps required to upgrade the

DVN 5000 server’s software. Detailed upgrade instructions are covered elsewhere in this

document.

The checklist is intended only for qualified and experienced DVN technicians.

Before upgrading a DVN server with instructions in this section, you must have a

thorough understanding of the upgrade process. Mishandling of the DVN by an

unqualified or inexperienced individual resulting in damage to the system voids

the DVN’s warranty.

Getting Started

 Unpack the equipment. See page 10.

 Carefully inspect the equipment for damage as soon as you receive it. If the

contents of a container are damaged in any way, notify the carrier and your

Johnson Controls representative immediately. See page 10.

 Increase the amount of RAM, if necessary. See “Installing the RAM Module(s)”

on page 3.

 Rackmount Series Only: Determine whether or not you need to update the

DVN 5000 Rackmount Series server’s RAID controller BIOS during the DVN

software upgrade process. See page 14.

 Verify that all coax cables are properly labeled, as you may need to disconnect

and then reconnect them, depending on the accessibility of the DVN. See

page 16.

Series server:

 Keyboard

We strongly recommend ordering a spare DVN 5000 hard drive in the event the DVN system

fails during the upgrade process. (We recommend ordering one system drive per branch, so it

is readily available should you need one).

1. Required only if you are upgrading the DVN 5000 using the DVN 2.9 System Upgrade

Recovery DVD and the DVN does not have an internal DVD drive.

2. Required only if your DVN 5000 Rackmount Series model will support more than 16

channels and the DVN has 1 GB of RAM.

RAID CONTROLLER BIOS UPDATE DETERMINATION

ACKMOUNT SERIES ONLY)

Use the information in this section to help determine whether or not you need to update the

DVN 5000 Rackmount Series server’s RAID controller BIOS during the DVN software

upgrade process.

NOTE

If you are upgrading a DVN 5000 Desktop Series server, this section does

not apply. Skip to “Preparation” on page 16.

Consider the following before proceeding:

Who is the DVN RAID controller’s manufacturer?

The DVN has either a Broadcom (or Ciprico) RAIDCore RAID controller or an Adaptec

RAID controller. See

“Determining the RAID Controller Manufacturer” on page 15.

 If the DVN has a Broadcom (or Ciprico) RAIDCore RAID controller, you must

update the RAIDCore RAID controller BIOS. Go to the next question to determine

the update method.

 If the DVN has an Adaptec RAID controller, you do not have to update the RAID

controller’s BIOS.

Who is the DVN motherboard’s manufacturer?

The DVN has either a BCM or Intel motherboard. If you do not know which one is installed

on the DVN, see

“Determining the Motherboard Manufacturer (Rackmount Only)” on

page 11.

 If the DVN has a BCM motherboard, you will need the Johnson Controls USB

flash drive (included in kit) to update the RAID controller BIOS.

 If the DVN has an Intel motherboard, you will need the Johnson Controls 1.44”

floppy disk (included in kit) to update the RAID controller BIOS.

PREPARATION

Perform the following series of preparatory steps:

 Increase the amount of RAM in the DVN 5000 Rackmount, if necessary

(see

page 17).

 Verify that all coax cables are properly labeled, as you may need to disconnect and

then reconnect them, depending on the accessibility of the DVN.

 Write down the current network settings, which you must reconfigure after

upgrading the DVN server software (see page 20).

 Export the DVN configuration settings (see page 20).

 (Rackmount Only) Verify that the status of each RAID drive is Normal or Ready

(for DVNs with a Broadcom or Ciprico RAID controller) or Optimal (for DVNs

with an Adaptec RAID controller) (see page 22).

 Delete the storage drive, but do not delete the allocated disk space (DVN 5000

Rackmount Series models only) (see page 23).

 Disable Hyper-Threading (DVN5016-L, DVN5016-M, DVN5008-L, and

DVN5008-M models only) (see page 24).

 Shut down the DVN 5000 server (see page 25).

1. Required only on DVN 5000 Rackmount Series servers that will support more than 16

channels and the DVN has 1 GB of RAM.

 Update the Rackmount Series server’s RAIDCore RAID controller BIOS, if

applicable (see

page 25).

 Configure the RAIDCore RAID controller

(see page 30)

 Disengage the RAID data drives from the RAID chassis (for DVN 5000

Rackmount Series models with external data drives) (see

page 34).

 Disconnect the internal data drive cables (optional for DVN 5000 Rackmount

Series models with internal data drives) (see

page 35).

 Print a copy of the DVN 5000 Release 2.9 Software Release Notes (Part Number

24-10318-29), which is available on the DVN System Upgrade Recovery USB

Flash Drive – you will need to update the DVN 5000 clients after upgrading the

DVN 5000 server(s).

NOTE

Whenever the instructions in this document ask you to log in to the

software, log in using the Admin account.

Increasing the Amount of RAM in the DVN 5000 Rackmount

You must increase the amount of RAM in the DVN 5000 Rackmount only if the

server has 1 GB of RAM and you plan to upgrade the DVN to support more than 16

channels. In this case, install two 512 MB RAM modules to increase the total

amount of RAM to 2 GB.

For RAM module specifications, see “Required Equipment (Not Included in

Software Upgrade Kit) for Rackmount Models” on page 13.

Determining the Amount of RAM in the DVN 5000

Follow the steps in this section if you do not know the current amount of RAM in

the DVN 5000.

 To determine the amount of RAM in your DVN 5000:

1. Restart the DVN and log on to the RemoteControl software.

2. On the Main screen, click Setup.

3. On the Setup screen, click System.

4. On the Setup>System Configuration screen, click Open next to

Performance.

1. Required only for DVN 5000 Rackmount Series models with a RAIDCore RAID controller

(see “Determining the RAID Controller Manufacturer” on page 15).

“Installing the RAM Modu

le(s)” on page 19.

6. If the T

otal Physical Memory is approximately 2000 MB, then the DVN

has 2 GB of RAM. You are not required to increase the amount of RAM.
