Updating the Matrox Iris GTR BIOS
After upgrading the operating system, you should verify that you have the most
up-to-date BIOS version before beginning.
Important If you do not have the correct BIOS version, it will cause a problem with your
Matrox Iris GTR. The BIOS version is displayed on the Essential Information
page of the Matrox Design Assistant configuration portal, and here you can also
see if there are new BIOS versions available.
Updating the BIOS is a delicate operation that requires user-intervention to ensure
it is executed without interruption. Note that if a power failure occurs during the
BIOS update process, your Matrox Iris GTR will have to be sent to Matrox for
repair.
To update the BIOS, perform the following:
1. Access the Matrox Iris GTR desktop. To do so, you can either:
• Connect directly using a local display and mouse-keyboard connection. To
connect a local display, mouse, and keyboard, see the Powering and connecting
to your Matrox Iris GTR section, in Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your
Matrox Iris GTR.
• Connect remotely via either a VNC client (such as Rufus or Putty), or through
Microsoft Windows telnet. To find Rufus or Putty, follow the instructions in
the Matrox Imaging operating system utilities section, earlier in this appendix.
2. Once the Matrox Iris GTR desktop is displayed, open a terminal window by
clicking on the Activities menu command and then the Te r mi n al icon.
