Re: Net6501 Boot from msata fails

Hi all,

small update:

I upgraded to 2.2.1 via Web UI without any problem so far.

The box is running since 2.5 days without a crash or real issue. The 
only thing which troubles me a bit is the reported temperatur of 74° 
Celsius. The box is in a lap env without any traffic or connectivity. 
Power D is turned on and runs on adaptive. I spotted some reports which 
indicate the reported temp is off by 10° degrees (so should be 64° 
Celsius in my example), but still too much in my opinion. It might be 
caused however due to missing connectivity, can't tell.

I will bring the box live in a few days .

Regards,

Marcel
