CLIPSTER Hardware Guide
2.2.5 Hard Disk Array
The hard disks of the hard disk array are used to store your video and
audio material. It is the main storage of CLIPSTER. To prevent data loss
in case a hard disk fails, it is normally RAID protected.
Once the faceplate is lifted (see section “Faceplate” on page 2-7), you
have access to the hard disk array:
Figure 2-9: Hard disk array
Each hard disk of the array is connected to the system with the help of
a disk carrier which makes the removal of a hard disk from the system
easy, for example, in the event of a failure.

Further information about RAID can be found in section “In-
troduction to RAID” on page 5-2.
The system hard disk is not among the hard disks of the hard
disk array. It is installed inside the system and not accessible
from the outside.
The hinge wires hold the faceplate in place and allow you to lift
it. For further information see section “Faceplate” on page 2-7
and section “Removal of the Faceplate” on page 5-12.
