Appendix E - Upgrading/Downgrading the System

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
Audio Switching Boards, Dante Audio Switching Boards, and Audio Insert/Extract Boards are not compatible. Do
not install mixed types of expansion boards in the same enclosure. If two types of boards are present, the audio
subsystem is disabled.
For information on routing of audio signals (including the down-mixed audio input) using these boards, see page 128.
NOTE:
Enova DGX 100 Series switchers contain an audio-only virtual matrix (VM2). If ASB Boards are in the enclosure, you
can route audio switches on this matrix. If no audio boards are installed, route and disconnect commands are queued
until audio boards are present, while all other commands are NACK’d.
Upgrading the Enclosure (Including Boards)
The following procedure explains how to send a firmware (*.KIT) file to the enclosure to enable boards to work with the
new CPU.
NOTE:
EDIDs are not automatically updated when firmware is upgraded. To update input board EDIDs after an enclosure
firmware upgrade, you must use the
reset factory
DGX_SHELL command (see page 280).

b.
Open a web browser on a PC or device on the same network as the Enova DGX and enter the system’s IP

The control panel and System Configuration interface (System/Devices/Switcher Update Status) display upgrade
status messages.
Power cycles will not abort the upgrade; let it run until completion.
Once the upgrade is complete:
The LEDs return to normal.
The Enova DGX Switcher comes back on line (displays in the OnLine Tree).
The System Configuration interface upgrade status (System/Devices/Switcher Upgrade Status) reports that the
system is rebooting.
NOTE:
If any of the boards do not upgrade, the 5002 device can take 15-30 minutes to come online (depending on enclosure).
