PDR100 Master Enhanced Disk Recorder
Introduction
Use these instructions to replace the PDR100 Master Disk Recorder board with the
Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board. The Master EDR board is the
central part of the PDR100 video processing system and includes a high speed
real-time processor, two JPEG codecs and two Ultra SCSI channels.
Grass Valley Group recommends removing the PDR100 from the rack to perform
this upgrade. Refer to the PDR 100 Installation Manual for instructions on
removing the PDR100 from the rack. Bear in mind that the chassis with a full
complement of disk drives weighs approximately 70 pounds. Observe the
following warnings:
To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the PDR100. The PDR100
is too heavy for one person to remove from the rack.
To prevent serious injury, insure that the rack is anchored to the floor so that
it cannot tip over when the Profile Video File Server is extended out of the
rack.
System Requirements
The Master EDR board upgrade requires Profile system software version 2.2 or
higher. If your Profile system software version is below 2.2, you must upgrade
your software before installing the Master EDR board.
To check Profile system software version:
1. Open the VdrPanel application.
2. Choose Help | About VdrPanel .
3. Check the Product Version field in the displayed window for a version of
2.2.X or higher and then perform a software upgrade, if required.
NOTE:
- To obtain software and software release notes in order to complete the
upgrade, contact your Grass Valley Group representative.
- If you are upgrading system software to version 2.4 or greater, DO NOT
attempt to restart the system at the conclusion of the upgrade. Instead,
select “No, I will restart my computer later”, and then shut down and
power Off the system to install the Master EDR board. Attempting to
operate version 2.4 software without the Master EDR board will result
in system errors.
