TRINIX — Release Notes 15

Software Installation

You MUST do one of the following options when you are adding a new HD

board to a Trinix router that is running Broadlinx 2.4.2 or older:

Note Selecting one of these options will insure that switches occur at the correct

timing position. See Replacing Trinix Boards on page 11.

• Update the Trinix router to Broadlinx 3.0.1 or newer (most pre-

ferred).

• Rollback the version of Broadlinx on the new HD board to the

version of Broadlinx that is currently running on your router (least

preferred). You must understand that some boards will be sup-

ported by older versions of Broadlinx.

CAUTION Grass Valley strongly recommends that customers keep all software updated

to the latest released version. New boards are NOT guaranteed to be compat-

ible with older versions of software. A system failure may occur if a new

board is received as a replacement part and then loaded with an older version

of software.

Before Proceeding with the Installation process, see the Broadlinx Version

and Supported Trinix Boards section in the Trinix Installation manual. The

information in this section is intended to help you understand what would

be required to update from your current version to the latest version of soft

ware.

Updating Systems with a Single Broadlinx Board

This section describes the steps for updating existing Broadlinx boards. The

update process can be accomplished using the Broadlinx Web page to nav

igate to the Firmware Management screen to activate the FPGAs for the

boards. These steps are described below.

Note Using Telnet or a Console session during an firmware update can cause the

update to fail.

Follow these steps to update all the boards within the frame (except an

active NR-33000 board):

1. Remove the Broadlinx board from the chassis and remove the existing

compact Flash card by pressing the Eject button (

Figure 6 on page 16).

Note For the Asymmetric frames, the NR-33000 (Broadlinx) board is turned side-

ways, so the Eject button is at the bottom.

For Encore controlled systems, the memory must be cleared by discon-

necting the battery terminal, leave it un-connected for couple of min-

utes, and then reconnect the battery (Figure 5 on page 16).
