DST 312/412 Interface Kit Installation
2 DST 312/412 Interface Kit Installation
System Software Requirements
Version 2.4 or higher Profile System Software must be installed in the Profile
system to support the DST 312 Tape Drive or the DST 412 ACL. Version 2.4
software is included in this Software Interface field kit. Install version 2.4
software before continuing with this field kit installation. Follow the installation
and testing instructions included with the software.
To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the VdrPanel
application and choose
Help | About VdrPanel . The software version is listed in the
displayed window.
NOTE: After you install 2.4 software, you must update the firmware of some
Profile circuit boards with an in-system programming (ISP) procedure
described in the Profile 2.4 Software Release Notes and in the Profile
Utilities chapter of the Profile Family User Manual.
Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
The Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board or Slave EDR board must have
64 MB of I/O buffer memory installed to support the DST 312 or DST 412. Both
EDR boards must be upgraded to 64 MB of memory if you intend to connect a
second DST 312 to the Profile video file server. Also, the memory for the local
processor on the Master EDR board must be upgraded to 32 MB. If you ordered
your Profile video file server recently, the Master and Slave may already have
these upgrades.
To see the amount of memory installed on the Master and Slave EDR boards,
check the Profile log soon after a system start or reboot. Look for messages similar
to these:
HDIL: found 16M of RTS memory
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at c4000000, size 16 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at c6000000, size 16 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at cc800000, size 8 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at ce000000, size 16 Meg
The memory sizes listed in the Profile log example indicate that the memory needs
to be upgraded. The local processor memory size (called RTS in the example) and
at least the first two I/O buffer memory sizes (called JPEG in the example) should
be 32 MB. If your system does not have the required local processor memory on
the Master EDR and the required I/O buffer memory on the Master or Slave EDR,
