3 ESD Rules
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety rules are to be respected while assembling, repairing, or
upgrading hardware on all Doremi products.
The Basic rules and elements of ESD control are the following:
1. Grounded personnel:
•All technicians must wear ESD safe smocks, wrist straps, and heel straps
properly attached.
•Use the ESD Tester for wrist/heel straps (footwear) often ( 3-4 times a day) to
test yourself.
•Never touch a sensitive component or assembly unless properly grounded.
•Always assume that all electronic (solid-state) components and assemblies are
sensitive to ESD damage.
2. Always do the work on static safe work surfaces/work stations/desks. Make sure your
desk and wrist strap ground outlets are connected to the building ground.
3. Be aware of the static generating materials that you work with.
4. Always use grounded cards during loading/unloading of ESD devices.
5. Never transport, store, or handle sensitive components or assemblies except in a staticsafe environment (ESD static bags).
6. Always store ESD devices using safe tote boxes.
7. Personnel Training:
•Training courses should be required for all employees who handle or otherwise
come into contact with ESD items.
•The training program and the level of ESD protection should be tailored to the
needs and sensitivity of the product or production area.
•Recurrent training for personnel should be an integral part of the program.

4 Unit Preparation
CAUTION: During the procedure presented in this document, you will have to remove screws
from the unit. Make sure NOT to lose the screws. Keep the screws in a secure location, as you
will have to re-use them when putting back the components at various stages of the procedure.
Make sure to save the original packaging that the parts come in, as it will be used later to
return the Dolphin Media Block and the AES card.
For the conversion procedure presented in this document, the DCP-2K4 unit must be removed
from its operating location and put in a safe area (far from other devices and on a surface fitted with an anti-static mat) as presented in Figure 19.
1) The power must be disconnected:
•Power off the unit and unplug both power cables.
CAUTION: To power off the DCP-2K4 safely, select SHUT DOWN from the LOGOUT
menu: Menu → Logout... and select Shutdown . Any other method might damage the
RAID and result in RAID failure.
Note: You might have to disconnect other cables in order to put the unit in a proper place (fitted
with anti-static setting) for this operation. In this case, you might want to put a mark with a label
on each cable you remove to facilitate their re-installation at the end of the procedure (e.g., AES
cable, GPIO Cable, etc).
2) Remove the DCP-2K4 from its rack and put it in a location (e.g., desk) where you have
room to perform the procedure. Make sure to follow the ESD rules set by your company.

•Remove the 1 GB RAM modules from the motherboard by pressing down on the white
latches on the side of the RAM slots to release the modules (Figure 48). Lift the modules
out of their slots.
◦ Note : This step is only necessary if the unit does not already have the 2GB RAM
modules. If the unit already has the 2GB modules, then skip this step. If it has the
1GB modules, then you must update to the 2GB modules provided. To determine if
the RAM modules in your unit are 2GB, look at the sticker on the modules. It should
state “2G” at the end of a long series of letters and numbers (Figure 49).

Figure 53: Serial Number Sticker
The hardware installation is now complete.
5.2 Assigning the Chassis Serial Number
Because the Chassis Serial number for the unit has changed, the software must be configured
with the new serial number. To configure the new serial number of the chassis, connect the
power cables to the ShowVault unit, turn it on, and allow it to fully boot up. After boot up is
complete, use the following command to assign the chassis its new serial number, and confirm
it with the Unit S/N sticker on the rear panel of the unit (Figure 53):
•Open a terminal (Menu → System → Terminal).
•Log in as root. Ask your Supervisor for proper login credentials.
•type: mount -orw,remount / <enter>
•type:rwdo echo UUU-NNNNNN | tee /etc/chassis <enter>
◦ where UUU-NNNNNN is the unit serial number, UUU representing the 3 digits
prefix showing the product name (e.g. SV3 for a ShowVault-3, SV4 for a
ShowVault-4) and NNNNNN represents the 6 digit number.
◦ Note : The serial number is found on the back of the unit (Figure 53).
To read the existing chassis serial number, use one of the following methods:
•Command Line Method
◦ Open a new terminal (Menu → System → Terminal).
◦ Log in as root. Ask your Supervisor for proper login credentials
◦ type:cat /etc/chassis <enter>
•About window
◦ Go to Menu → About, and check the chassis number entry as illustrated below
(Figure 54):

◦ Go to Menu → Diagnostic Tool and check the chassis number entry as illustrated
below (Figure 55):

5.3 Install Doremi License Messages (DLMs) and 2GB Update
Package
If your Dolphin contained any DLMs such as RealD, Dolby, ACC (Closed Captioning), or if you
purchased a 4K license for your new IMB, you will need to install them now. You will find any
previously purchased licenses on the Doremi USB thumb drive that was provided in this kit
(P/N: USB-FLASH-DRIVE-3). You need to also install the 2GB update package
(hotfix_pcie_2GiB-1.0.0.pkg), which is also found on the USB thumb drive provided.
•Insert the USB thumb drive into the powered on and fully booted up ShowVault.
SHV.DP.001968.DRMPage 24 Version 1.2
Doremi Cinema LLC Confidential
•Select “hotfix_pcie_2GiB-1.0.0.pkg” and any licenses that appear in the Ingest window.
•Click the Ingest button.
•After ingesting, reboot the unit.
•Once the reboot is complete, launch the License Manager application to confirm that the
licenses have been ingested properly.
5.4 Installing the IMB to the ShowVault
Install your IMB into your Series-2 digital cinema projector. Please reference the specific IMB
Installation manuals that coincide with your projector manufacturer and the ShowVault Field
Installer manual found at http://www.doremilabs.com/support/cinema-support/cinema-
manuals/showvault-imb-manuals/.
5.5 Testing the Unit
•After the IMB and ShowVault have been installed, and marriage performed, the unit is
now ready for playback testing. Confirm that picture and sound are present.
6 Returning the Media Block
Now that your Doremi Server has been converted to a ShowVault, you must now return the
Dolphin Media Block and the AES card that you removed during the procedure back to Doremi.
Package up the Dolphin Media Block, AES card, and1GB RAM modules (if you needed to
update to 2GB) in the antistatic bag in the original packaging provided. Write the RMA #
provided to you on the outside of the box that the conversion kit was shipped in and return to
your local Doremi Cinema to receive your media block credit.
You have now successfully completed the conversion process.
