INTRODUCTION
RED Digital Cinema now offers the DSMC FAN 2.0 Upgrade for your Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC ® )
BRAIN. The DSMC FAN 2.0 Upgrade is available for SCARLET, EPIC, and DRAGON DSMC BRAINS. You may
upgrade your DSMC BRAIN with one (1) or both of the following fans:
DSMC FAN 2.0 (BOTTOM): Replaces the bottom fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan that
allows you to run at a low noise level for a longer period of time. The bottom fan is specific to your corre-
sponding camera model and is distinguished by a SCARLET ®, RED EPIC ® , or RED DRAGON™ coin and grill.
DSMC FAN 2.0 (TOP): Replaces the top fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan. Provides you
with a quiet, effective cooling solution that allows for extended recording sessions at a low noise level.
RED Digital Cinema will perform this installation for you, free of charge. Please contact your Bomb Squad rep-
resentative for complete details.
WARNING: These instructions are provided for use AT YOUR OWN RISK. Failure to comply in full with these
instructions may cause severe damage to your camera and WILL NOT be covered by any RED warranty plan.
Damage to the DSMC BRAIN or other components of the DSMC system caused by improper installation is not
covered under warranty.
WARNING: The top of the DSMC BRAIN and top fan may be hot. To prevent accidental contact, RED recom-
mends that you always operate your DSMC BRAIN with a compatible top vent scoop or TACTICAL TOP PLATE.
NOTE: Once the upgrade is complete, a firmware update and/or hardware rediscover is required to recognize
new fans. For more information, go to “Configure Firmware” on page 26 .
NOTE: RED recommends upgrading your DSMC firmware to v4.0.12 or later to support full control over both top
and bottom fans. The DSMC FAN 2.0 UPGRADE is not fully supported by earlier versions of DSMC firmware.
