User's Manual

To remove an SSD:
Open URSA Mini SSD Recorder’s cover and gently grasp the drive between your thumb and
forefinger. There’s a small recess in the top of the bay to let you get a grip on the drive. Simply
pull the drive out and close the cover.
NOTE Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder occupies the second storage slot in
URSAMini’s operating system. This means that, while URSA Mini SSDRecorder is
connected and a compatible SSD is inserted, your camera’s second CFast 2.0 and
SDcard slot will be unavailable.
To use these slots instead, disconnect the SSD Recorder SDI connection from
URSAMini. There is no need to remove the SSD Recorder itself from your camera.
Formore information, see the the section ‘Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder’ in
this manual.
