NOT use the camera in the rain or under other conditions with
high moisture without appropriate protection, and immediately
remove power source if camera or accessories are exposed to
moisture.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the camera to
rain or moisture.
DO NOT expose your camera to excessive vibration or impact
(shock). Be careful not to drop your camera. Internal mechanisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment
of optical elements may be affected by excessive vibration.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices us-
ing radio or other communication waves may result in the malfunction or interference with the unit and/or with audio and
video signals.
Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your camera, re-
member that it is not waterproof and moisture can damage
electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse any element of
the camera, lens or other accessory, keep them dry at all times.
DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline cleaners,
and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These substances may damage lens coatings and electronic circuitry.
Maintain sufficient ventilation - DO NOT block any ventilation
openings or obstruct cooling fan airflow.
the power cord of the AC Power Adapter. A grounding-type
plug has two blades and a third “grounding” prong. The third
prong is provided for your safety. A grounding-type plug shall
be connected to an outlet with a protective earthen connection. If the grounding-type plug does not fit into your outlet,
do not attempt to modify the plug or outlet, consult a qualified
electrician.
Protect all power cords from being pinched, walked on or
driven over by a vehicle. Replace any power cords suspected
of sustaining damage due to crushing or other forms physical
damage.
CAUTION: The power cord plug for the AC
Power Adapter is used as the power disconnect. To disconnect all power from the
AC Power Adapter, unplug the power cord
plug from the wall outlet. During use, the
power cord plug should remain easily accessible at all times.
CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to
qualified RED service personnel. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, and damage to
the camera or accessories, DO NOT attempt to perform any servicing other than
any procedures that are recommended in
the operating instructions.
CAUTION: Proper camera ventilation requires a minimum 1/2” (1.25 cm) clearance between the camera ventilation
openings and external surfaces. Verify
that objects that can block the fan intake
and exhaust ports do not impede airflow.
Failure to permit adequate airflow may result in overheating of the camera, degraded operation and in extreme situations,
damage to the camera.
DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that produce heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibration, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sources during storage. Remove any batteries from the camera before storage. Recommended storage and usage temperatures
for your camera, lenses and other accessories are:
‒ Operating range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
‒ Storage range: -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F)
If there are any performance issues with your camera or accessories when operating within this temperature range, please file
a support ticket on support.red.com.
The SIDE HANDLE, SIDE SSD Module, Rear Modules and Lens
Mount are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE – meaning you cannot remove or install them while the camera is powered on. Before
installing or removing any of these accessories, you MUST
power down the camera. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the accessory and / or camera brain that will not be covered
under warranty.
Do not bypass the third prong of the grounding-type plug on

OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
RED Digital Cinema now offers the DSMC FAN 2.0 Upgrade for your Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC®)
BRAIN. The DSMC FAN 2.0 Upgrade is available for SCARLET, EPIC, and DRAGON DSMC BRAINS. You may
upgrade your DSMC BRAIN with one (1) or both of the following fans:
DSMC FAN 2.0 (BOTTOM): Replaces the bottom fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan that
allows you to run at a low noise level for a longer period of time. The bottom fan is specific to your corresponding camera model and is distinguished by a SCARLET®, RED EPIC®, or RED DRAGON™ coin and grill.
DSMC FAN 2.0 (TOP): Replaces the top fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan. Provides you
with a quiet, effective cooling solution that allows for extended recording sessions at a low noise level.
RED Digital Cinema will perform this installation for you, free of charge. Please contact your Bomb Squad representative for complete details.
WARNING: These instructions are provided for use AT YOUR OWN RISK. Failure to comply in full with these
instructions may cause severe damage to your camera and WILL NOT be covered by any RED warranty plan.
Damage to the DSMC BRAIN or other components of the DSMC system caused by improper installation is not
covered under warranty.
WARNING: The top of the DSMC BRAIN and top fan may be hot. To prevent accidental contact, RED recommends that you always operate your DSMC BRAIN with a compatible top vent scoop or TACTICAL TOP PLATE.
NOTE: Once the upgrade is complete, a firmware update and/or hardware rediscover is required to recognize
new fans. For more information, go to “Configure Firmware” on page 26.
NOTE: RED recommends upgrading your DSMC firmware to v4.0.12 or later to support full control over both top
and bottom fans. The DSMC FAN 2.0 UPGRADE is not fully supported by earlier versions of DSMC firmware.

CONFIGURE
04
RED recommends that you upgrade your DSMC firmware to v4.0.12 or later in order to have full control over
both the top and bottom fans. DSMC firmware v4.0.12 and later offers full hardware support for both fans, and
provides more robust and precise fan settings, so that you have full control over the speed and noise level of
the DSMC fans. Earlier versions of DSMC firmware do not fully support DSMC 2.0 fans.
FIRMWARE
UPGRADE FIRMWARE
1. Download the v4.0.12 (or later) firmware file for your DSMC from www.red.com/downloads.
2. Perform the firmware upgrade on your DSMC BRAIN.
NOTE: For more information on upgrading your DSMC firmware, refer to the DSMC Operation Guide online
at https://www.red.com/downloads.
PERFORM HARDWARE REDISCOVER
If you upgraded your firmware before installing the new fans, or if you’re not upgrading your firmware, perform
a manual hardware rediscover after you install new fans so that the DSMC firmware recognizes the new fans.
NOTE: The instructions below are specific to firmware version v4.0.12.
1. Turn on your DSMC.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance.
3. Select Rediscover.
4. Select Yes to perform the hardware rediscover.
Wait for the DSMC BRAIN to shut down.
Hardware Rediscover
5. Power on the DSMC BRAIN.
The DSMC firmware rediscovers all hardware and caches the data for future boot cycles.
