4. INSTALLING THE ADDITIONAL GIGABIT NETWORK CARD
4.1 For TMS/LMS Connection (Without SOM)
1. Insert the additional gigabit network card into the same PCIe slot that was used by
DCI Card. The tested gigabit network card model is 'INTEL Gigabit CT Desktop
Adapter'.
2. After the network card is installed a software upgrade is required. This file can be
found here:

Upgrade password: 20121109
==============================================================
3. Boot up the server and apply 'upgrade-SX2000AR-9x-networkcard-20121109.tgz.enc'
on 7.8.X Server SMS->Configuration->Assistance->USB. This upgrade prompts an
error if the server eth0 or eth1 has 192.168.1.x IP.
4. It will prompt user with the IP changes (eth1: 192.168.1.13 eth2: 192.168.3.14) and
require user confirmation before proceeding.
5. Whenever the additional network card is pulled out and put back into the slot, or a
different additional card is used for replacement, this upgrade must re-run on the AR
server.
Server eth1 is required for IMB data transfer during playback, its IP is
recommended to remain at 192.168.1.13 after upgrade.

Server eth2 can be updated to a different IP other than 192.168.3.14 for other
purposes, e.g. TMS data transfer. However, server eth2 should not be using
192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x as these two IP ranges are reserved for IMB.

6. Server eth1 is directly connected to IMB Ethernet 2.
7. Server eth0 is connected to projector Ethernet port (either directly or via a switch).
8. Server eth2 (from the installed gigabit card) can be used for transferring content
from the TMS/LMS as in normal operation.
4.2 Install the Mounting Holder in the Server Case
1. Un-secure the screws and take out the “L” legs from the holder.
2. Place in the mounting holder, and then secure the screws as indicated in Figure 13.

1. Make sure the IMB is powered up inside the projector correctly.
2. SX-2000(A/T)R eth0 IP must NOT be 192.168.1.X (recommend it to be 192.168.0.X).
3. SX-2000(A/T)R eth0 is connected to projector Ethernet (either directly or via switch).
4. SX-2000(A/T)R eth2 IP must NOT be 192.168.1.X.
5. SX-2000(A/T)R eth1 is directly connected to IMB Ethernet 2. eth2 is available after
installing the additional gigabit network card.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Projector should not use 192.168.2.X IP as this IP range is reserved
for IMB internal use. If projector IP is set to 192.168.2.X, the server will not be able to
connect to the security manager (SM) after upgrade.

6. INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE GDC INTEGRATED
MEDIA BLOCK (IMB) INTO THE PROJECTOR
Note: If the projector comes with the GDC IMB pre-installed, the instructions in Section
6.2 can be skipped. Refer to Section 6.4 to connect the network cable to the IMB on
the projector and to the SX-2000(A/T)R server.
If the projector does not have the GDC IMB installed, follow the steps below to install the IMB
into the projector.
This section of the manual deals with installing the IMB into the Projector, and connecting the
IMB interface and network cables to the IMB and projector respectively.
6.1 IMB Components
The GDC Integrated Media Block comes with a network cable (see Figure 15) for connecting
to the SX-2000(A/T) R server. The IMB is shown in Figure 16.
