DSMC FAN 2.0 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

955-0012, REV-D

26

RED recommends that you upgrade your DSMC firmware to v4.0.12 or later in order to have full control over

both the top and bottom fans. DSMC firmware v4.0.12 and later offers full hardware support for both fans, and

provides more robust and precise fan settings, so that you have full control over the speed and noise level of

the DSMC fans. Earlier versions of DSMC firmware do not fully support DSMC 2.0 fans.

UPGRADE FIRMWARE

1. Download the v4.0.12 (or later) firmware file for your DSMC from

www.red.com/downloads

.

2. Perform the firmware upgrade on your DSMC BRAIN.

NOTE: For more information on upgrading your DSMC firmware, refer to the

DSMC Operation Guide

PERFORM HARDWARE REDISCOVER

If you upgraded your firmware before installing the new fans, or if you’re not upgrading your firmware, perform

a manual hardware rediscover after you install new fans so that the DSMC firmware recognizes the new fans.
NOTE: The instructions below are specific to firmware version v4.0.12.
1. Turn on your DSMC.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance.
3. Select Rediscover.
4. Select Yes to perform the hardware rediscover.

Wait for the DSMC BRAIN to shut down.

5. Power on the DSMC BRAIN.

The DSMC firmware rediscovers all hardware and caches the data for future boot cycles.
