 Safety Precautions

WARNING

THIS DEVICE MUST BE GROUNDED

IMPORTANT

Power requirements for electrical equipment vary from area to area. Please ensure that the IMS2000
meets the power requirements in the surrounding area. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician or a
Dolby Laboratories Inc. dealer.

IMS2000 Power Ratings

The IMS2000 Maximum Power Consumption is up to 53W in playback 400Mbps with three
external USB devices attached that can draw 5V/0.5A from the IMS2000 USB ports.

WARNING: Multiple sources of supply; disconnect all sources before servicing.

IMS2000 Rack Mount and Thermal Information

• Maximum operating ambient temperature is 40°C.

• Never restrict the air flow through the devices’ fan or vents.

Protecting Yourself and the IMS2000

Never touch the AC plug with wet hands. Always disconnect the projector from the power supply by
pulling on the plug, not the cord. Allow only a Dolby Laboratories Inc. dealer or qualified professional
engineer to repair or reassemble the IMS2000. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers
may touch live internal parts and receive a serious electric shock. Do not put or allow anyone to put any
object, especially metal objects, into the IMS2000. Use only a listed AC power supply. Never use a DC
power supply.

If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the IMS2000, disconnect the power and call a Dolby
Laboratories Inc. dealer. The unit must be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight. To avoid
damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the IMS2000 away from direct sources of
heat (heater vents, stoves, radiators). Avoid using flammable aerosols near the IMS2000. They can
damage the surface area and may ignite. Do not use denatured alcohol, paint thinner or similar chemicals
to clean the IMS2000. This can damage the unit.

Chapter 2 Electrostatic Discharge Rules

2.1 Electronic Discharge Safety Rules

Be sure to follow electrostatic discharge safety rules while installing, repairing, or
upgrading hardware on Dolby Laboratories playback systems.

Following are the basic rules and elements for electrostatic discharge control:
• Grounded personnel:
o All technicians must wear electrostatic discharge–safe smocks, wrist straps, and
heel straps that are properly attached.
o Never touch a sensitive component or assembly unless properly grounded.
• Always assume that all electronic (solid-state) components and assemblies are
sensitive to electrostatic discharge damage.
• Always do the work on static-safe work surfaces, workstations, or desks. Make sure
your desk and wrist strap ground outlets are connected to the building ground.
• Be aware of the static-generating materials that you work with.
• Always use grounded cards during loading and unloading of electrostatic discharge
devices.
• Never transport, store, or handle sensitive components or assemblies except in a
static-safe environment (using electrostatic discharge static bags).
• Always store electrostatic discharge devices using safe tote boxes.
• Personnel training:
• Training courses should be required for all employees who handle or otherwise
come into contact with electrostatic discharge items.
• The training program and the level of electrostatic discharge 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.

 USB

3.8 USB
There are three USB ports on the front panel that can accommodate an external USB
device, such as the CaptiView transmitter or USB external drive for content ingestion.
One is a USB 2.0 port, and two are USB 3.0 ports.

The IMS2000 supports USB 3.0 for ingesting content at much higher speeds than devices
using USB 2.0. In some situations, a USB 3.0 drive may be detected as USB 2.0. This will
prevent you from ingesting content at the highest speed possible. Make sure that you are
using a good quality cable.

Note: You can identify a USB 3.0 capable cable by looking at the connector ends.
USB 3.0 cables have blue connectors, as shown here.

If the cable is plugged into the IMS2000 slowly, the USB 2.0 pins are
detected first and the drive is mounted using the slower 2.0 settings. If a
prompt appears that says This device could perform faster in the carousel,
this indicates that the USB 3.0 drive was detected as USB 2.0. In such a
case, try to reset the connection.

3.9 HDMI
HDMI is used for inputting alternative content (that is, from a Blu-ray Disc™ player,
game console, digital cameras, or laptop).

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is supported.

Chapter 16 Troubleshooting Guide

This chapter lists troubleshooting issues, their descriptions and identifications, and the
solution to the issue.

Note: The highlighted sections indicate the error line.

To identify errors, the following files are useful:

• kern.log: The kernel log provides a detailed log of messages from the Linux® kernel.
These messages may prove useful for troubleshooting as it shows information
regarding software and its interaction with hardware.
• kreport.log.x: This is a text file that is a snapshot of commands executed for
diagnostics. This particular log is generated just before every shutdown. The x is
replaced with a numerical value to show the difference between shutdowns. For
example, kreport.log.1 is from the previous shutdown and kreport.log.2 is from the
shutdown previous to last shutdown. Information here is very similar to the
information in drmreport.txt.
• odetics.log: A log that shows playbacks noted as as-run log files. It can show frame-
specific issues in regard to underflows and decoder crashes, and can help with
checking KDM validity.

16.2 File System Corruption

The file system is corrupted. Symptoms include:
• Arborescence is wrong and showing ??? instead of files or directories.
• The KDM or digital license message folders in /data lose their symbolic link to
/doremi/dlms and /doremi/kdms, and KDMs/digital license messages are lost as a result.

Look at drmreport.txt file and search for ls -laRi /data, or simply run ls -la /data on the unit if
you can access it. When this issue occurs, dlms and kdms folders do not show their
symbolic link to /doremi/dlms and /doremi/kdms, or some folders are missing and showing
??? instead.

• For a KDM link missing:
• mount -o rw,remount /
• rmdir /data/kdms
• ln -s /doremi/kdms /data/kdms
• mount -o ro,remount /
• For a digital license message link missing:
• mount -o rw,remount /
• rmdir /data/dlms
• ln -s /doremi/dlms /data/dlms
• mount -o ro,remount /
• For other cases (reinitialize the RAID):
• SSH into IMS2000
• Run mount -o rw,remount /
• Run sh /doremi/sbin/reinit_raid.sh
• Wait for RAID to complete building.
• Reboot unit

16.6 Temporarily Setting the Network Configuration via USB

This method should be used to “rescue” the device in case the IP address is lost or
forgotten. The network configuration is set temporarily until the next reboot. The current
IP will be back after the next reboot.

To update the network configuration with a USB flash drive:

1. Create a directory called doremi at the root of the USB key.

2. Create a directory called tmp inside the /doremi/ directory.
3. Create a directory called network inside the /doremi/tmp/ directory.
4. Create a file inside the network directory, and name it ifconfig.0. This will be used to
configure Ethernet port 0.

For static IP, enter the following information in the ifconfig.0 file, replacing the items in
bold with your settings:
• Interface: eth0

 Appendix A

Chapter 17 Installing and Configuring a Dual-

Projector Setup

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring two
IMS2000s for a dual-projector setup. It also explains how to create a basic playlist.

In a dual IMS2000 setup, the two boards are identical in terms of firmware and software
configuration and different in terms of serialization. The primary IMS2000, also referred
to as the IM2000 security manager, is similar to a standard IMS2000 in terms of
serialization. It uses a specific firmware for a dual-projector setup in the 4.xx version
range. You can update a primary unit back and forth with standard IMS2000 firmware
and use it as a standard IMS2000.

The secondary IMS2000, the IMS2000 link decryptor, includes the same hardware as a
standard IMS2000 but is serialized differently in the factory. This unique serialization
enables the unit to operate as a secondary IMS2000. It uses specific firmware for a dual-
projector setup in the 4.xx version range. You cannot update a secondary unit to standard
IMS2000 firmware and cannot use it as a standard/primary IMS2000.

In this section, the primary IMS2000 is referred to as the security manager, and the
secondary as the link decryptor.

Note: Dolby® 3D is not yet supported in dual IMS2000 setups.
