Disk Maintenance
Internal hard disk maintenance is limited to functions such as Format/Partition Disk, Rename, and
Update Directories, which are all covered under Utility Menu Features beginning on page 29.
Program Updates
From time to time, 360 Systems may release new versions of the DigiCart/EX operating system
program that can be installed by the user via either a memory card or a file on the Ethernet Audio
server. Memory card program updates must be ordered from 360 Systems because a specially
formatted card is required. A DCSYS.360 file for use from a Network Drive can be downloaded or
emailed; contact 360 Systems Customer Service Department for details.
To check the current version number, press the
ENTER
button while DigiCart/EX is idle (stopped and
not in a menu mode). The current version number will appear on the top line of the command line
display.
