Do this task if:
•
You must power cycle, rather than restart, the K2 system after installing software.
When you must shutdown and then power up (power cycle) a device, rather than restart the device,
you must use a combination of SiteConfig and manual operations.
1. In the SiteConfig tree-view, right-click the device and select
Shutdown
.
SiteConfig initiates the Windows shutdown operation on the device and the device powers off.
2. At the local device, verify that shutdown operations are complete, then press the standby button
or otherwise manually power up the device.
The device starts up.
3. Verify that startup operations are complete on the device.
4. In SiteConfig, in the tree-view, right-click the device and select
Set Restart Complete
.
This re-synchronizes SiteConfig regarding the current state of the device. If software deployment
tasks were waiting for the restart to occur, SiteConfig now allows them to proceed.
Install required Windows update
Do not do this task if one of the following is true:
•
A K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server received new from Grass Valley with
K2 software version 7.3.x or higher pre-installed, in which case the required Windows update
is pre-installed.
Do this task if:
•
A K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server being upgraded from a version of K2
software version lower than 7.3.x.
NOTE: Do not install general Windows updates as available from Microsoft. Update only as
directed by Grass Valley.
1. Extract the contents of the
RunUpdates.zip
file into the
C:\Temp
directory.
This creates a folder named
RunUpdates
that includes all of the Windows update files.
2. Within the
RunUpdates
folder run
RunUpdates.exe
.
A command shell starts.
3. When prompted enter
Y
to start the update process
For each of the updates, the shell displays a line showing the update installing. A window showing
the progress of an update opens and then closes when complete. The shell then updates with the
completion status of the update.
4. If you interrupt the Windows update process, run
RunUpdates.exe
to start it again. Updates
continue from the point of interruption.
5. When updates complete and the shell displays the prompt “Do you want to reboot now?”, enter
Y
to restart.
6. Log on to the K2 system with Windows administrator privileges.
7. Delete the
RunUpdates
folder and files.
8. Empty the Recycle Bin.
