4. Firmware update procedure

From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix
reported bugs in the current TLM-170L firmware. Customers can update the firmware themselves
if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this
method.

This page describes the firmware update process and it should take approximately 15 minutes
total time to complete.

As well as a working TLM-170L you will need:

 The latest firmware update for the TLM-170L monitor.

This firmware file can be obtained from your local Datavideo office or dealer.

 USB 2.0 pen drive 128MB or larger with a USB A connector.

Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a
non-responsive unit.

How to update the firmware

1. Unzip / extract the supplied zipped archive or rar folder.

2. Wipe the contents of the USB 2.0 pen drive so it is empty.

3. Transfer / copy the unzipped / extracted file to the USB 2.0 pen drive; make sure the file name

is renamed to MSTFLASH.bin.

4. Plug the USB 2.0 pen drive into the USB 2.0 port labelled MAINTENANCE on the back of the

monitor.

5. Reboot TLM-170L and the update will be automatically in progress.

6. The TLM-170L Monitor will reboot itself at the end of the process.

5. TLM-170LR: Fitting the 19” Rack Ears t o the TLM-170L

The TLM-170LR is supplied with 19” Rack Ears which allow the monitor to be rack mounted (19”
7U).

Use the supplied screws to attach the left and right rack ears. You will see there are four screws on
either side, as illustrated above, plus additional screws at the base of each rack ear, as illustrated
below.

12

6. TLM-170LM: Fitting the monitor to a 19” Ra ck

The TLM-170LM is designed to rack mount. When folded away it is 1U high, please bear in mind
that when opened for operation the monitor is 7U high, so leave adequate room above for this.

The monitor arrives already fitted with sliding rack rails, these have a length adjustment at the
rear to suit the distance between the front and rear rack rails of your cabinet.

To adjust the length loosen the four adjustment nuts as illustrated below, and pull the side rails
back as far as is required. Then re-tighten the nuts.

Mount the monitor in your rack with the rear panel facing upwards. Ensure the rack mounting
screws are secured both front and rear.

Once mounted and secure to the rack, unscrew the two locking screws on either side of the front
panel, and pull the monitor forward using the handle. Once the monitor is fully forward simply
hinge it up into a vertical position.

To fold away, pull the top of the monitor forward, so that it hinges down to a horizontal position,
then push it back into the rack until you are able to screw in the locking screws.

Note: When folding the monitor away be careful not to trap your fingers or scrape your hand on
the rack cabinet.
