Updating the Matrox Iris GTX BIOS
After upgrading the operating system, you should verify that you have the most
up-to-date BIOS version before beginning.
If you do not have the correct BIOS version, it will cause a problem with your
Matrox Iris GTX. The BIOS version is displayed on the Essential Information
page of the Matrox Design Assistant configuration portal; on this page, 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 GTX will have to be sent to Matrox for
repair.
To update the BIOS, perform the following:
1. Access the Matrox Iris GTX 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 GTX section, in Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your
Matrox Iris GTX.
• Connect remotely via a VNC client, Putty, or through Microsoft Windows
telnet. To find a VCN client or Putty, follow the instructions in the Matrox
Imaging operating system utilities section, earlier in this appendix.
2. If you are connecting with a VNC client, once the Matrox Iris GTX desktop is
displayed, open a terminal window by clicking on the Activities menu command
and then the Terminal icon. When using Putty, you are presented immediately
with the terminal window.
 Note that you must have Auto logon enabled in the Matrox Design Assistant portal
in order to connect to a VNC client. This is found on the AUTO LOGON tab
of the DEVICE portal page. See the Matrox Design Assistant documentation for
more information.
