You can still upgrade to 2.6.4 and leave SM and FW where they are.

I know Marco, goes with the suggested sequence of updating, but it's not a good idea to continue running such an outdated SM and firmware.

Bob - are you waiting to receive a new SSD from Dolby? It will probably come with 2.64 preinstalled anyway?

It is a USB 2gB memory card, never seen them used anywhere else: not a familiar form factor with a multipin header connection, not a normal USB port.
There was a way to use a USB stick as the root drive in emergencies, I don't know if that's still supported. I used it once quite a while ago, the BIOS boot drive list has to be modified as I recall.

Carsten,

What SM and FW? Bob didn't mention what version is currently running! [Smile]

Well I am sure he isn't running his 2.4.4 with the most current SM and firmware. ;-)
Not even mentioning potentially relevant hotfixes. 2.4.4 is mid 2013...

GDC uses CF type memory card on the SX-3000, but I never paid much attention to it's size and never had to replace one. It only contains the OS on that server. Seen just to the left of the screwdriver in it's socket.

Dave,
Yes the operating system backup to USB on a Doremi still works. I just made a new USB stick about two weeks ago.
