remove all folders, except the workspace directory, from the DashBoard directory. Note
that the uninstall function of DashBoard may delete the directory that also contains your
user data.
2. Access the DashBoard software using one of the following methods:

DashBoard.tar.gz file for Linux.
• Load the DashBoard software CD into the DVD/CD ROM tray of your computer.

Note — Dashboard creates a workspace directory where the application is
launched. This directory includes saved settings and licenses for optional features. To
provide consistent retrieval of saved settings and program features, Ross Video
recommends that you always launch Dashboard from within the same directory.
