Upgrading software on the K2 ASI Media Client
Upgrading software on the K2 ASI Media Client
K2 system software version 3.2.74 is installed on new K2 ASI Media Client systems
as they come from the factory. If you have a new K2 system, you should not need to
upgrade software.
The following installation steps provide information specifically for the upgrade to
version 3.2.74 software. Read the information in these sections carefully before
attempting the upgrade.
Step 1: Make recovery disk image
Do not do this step if:
• You previously made a disk image of the K2 ASI Media Client at its current
software version. Skip ahead to “Step 2: Take K2 ASI Media Client offline”.
Do this step if:
• You do not have a disk image of the K2 ASI Media Client at its current software
version.
The recommended procedure is to make a recovery disk image immediately after a
software upgrade. If you neglected to do this when you last upgraded software you
should make the recovery disk image now, before upgrading to the new version. Refer
to the K2 ASI Media Client Installation and Service Manual for instructions.
Step 2: Take K2 ASI Media Client offline
If the K2 ASI Media Client is not already offline, do the following:
1. Stop all media access. This includes all record, play, and transfer operations
2. Shutdown all the K2 ASI Media Clients on the K2 Storage System.
Step 3: Upgrade K2 Media Servers
After shutting down all the K2 ASI Media Clients on the K2 Storage System, follow
the K2 Storage System upgrade steps earlier in these release notes to upgrade all your
K2 Media Servers to the same software version. Then, when directed to do so by the
K2 Storage System upgrade steps earlier in these release notes, continue with the steps
in this procedure to upgrade K2 ASI Media Clients.
Step 4: Install “High Priority” Windows updates (recommended)
Windows “High Priority” updates are recommended, but not required, for version
3.2.74. While you have the K2 ASI Media Client in an offline state to upgrade
software, you should check to see if there are any new updates that you need to install.
Use standard Windows procedures.
CAUTION: Only “High Priority Updates” should be installed. Do not
install other Windows or driver updates.
