OK, it gets a bit complicated. What Dolphin board do you have? If it has 4 BNC connectors then wow! it's really old. 2 BNC and a "DVI" (actually GPIO) and it's either somewhat old, or the current encapsulated (black epoxy block covering the components) version. If you had it maintained, the Dolphin should have been upgraded to at least the dual BNC unencapsulated version. Assume you have a very early TI interface board, unless you upgraded the projector for triple flash 3D (was that even possible though?), You will need the boot flash upgrade to use current software - but that's not a huge investment, and may have been done already? The server should have had the "thermal upgrade" as well, but the service history is unknown - again, was it maintained over the years? If you pull a server diags package and upload it to http://loganalyser.doremitechno.org/index.php/upload you will get back a pretty reliable list of what you have and some suggestions for updates. You will also see a LOT of errors listed as well, probably these will be old and unimportant so don't fret too much - the error logs go back basically forever and some things logged are trivial.

It's got 2 BNC, unencapsulated, and a GPIO. No record of maintenance as far as I know. Horizontally installed HDDs, no CD-rom.
When we had the SSD update on the other server done a few years ago we had to send it away, but hopefully we can get a tech to do it on site.
On our other server the software is 2.2.?, but still it couldn't read the ext3 disk. Does it need newer for that? Will upgrade this server with the latest software tomorrow, as long as it won't cause any problems with the s1 projector we got there, a nec nc1500, which is horrible btw.
