11: LDVR-3U Installation Procedures
80 —
revision 38
The following procedures apply when you are increasing the number of hard
drives (adding a hard drive), replacing a lower GB hard drive with a higher GB
hard drive (upgrading a hard drive) or replacing a bad hard drive.
1. If you are upgrading an existing hard drive for LDVR-3U configurations 1
or 3 make sure all valuable video on each of the drives you are going to
replace has been archived.
2. Unlock the EIDE cage door and, if necessary, remove the chassis cover.
3. Unlock the hard drive tray and remove it from the chassis.
4. If you are upgrading/replacing existing hard drives:
a. Remove the hard drive from the tray.
b. Disconnect the tray's drive power cable.
c. Disconnect the tray's EIDE data cable.
5. Set the drive jumpers settings on the new/upgraded drive. Refer to the tables
below.
6. Connect the tray's power cable to the new/upgraded drive.
7. Connect the tray's EIDE data cable to the new/upgraded drive.
Note: If you are adding a new hard drive, connect the new drive to the appropriate
controller channel/port using a long 80-pin EIDE data cable. The blue
connectors must be connected to the controller channels/port and the black/
gray connectors connected to the drive bays. Otherwise, long delays during
system startup occur. You must also connect an available drive power cable
to the new/upgraded drive bay.
8. Secure the new/upgraded hard drive to the tray.
Note: For LDVR-3U configuration 2 or 4, all the hard drives in the RAID 5
configuration must be the same size. It is also highly recommended that the
same make and model hard drives are used.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each drive you wish to add, upgrade, or replace.
10. Power the 3U back up.
