2.2.3 Hard Disk Array
The hard disks of the hard disk array are used to store your video and
audio material. Among them you can find the main storage of the DVS
system as well as the system/metadata hard disks. To prevent data loss
in case a hard disk fails, it is normally RAID protected. Furthermore, the
system/metadata hard disks are protected with a battery backup unit to
prevent data loss, for example, in case of a power failure.
Once the faceplate is folded down (see section “The Front of the Sys-
tem” on page 2-4), you have access to the hard disk array:

7 contact surface When the faceplate is closed, this contact sur-
face is connected to a matching interface at the
inside of the faceplate. It provides power to
light up the DVS logo.
8 power The power switch turns the system on or off.
The respective state of the system will be indi-
cated by the DVS logo in the middle of the face-
plate (see section “The Front of the System” on
page 2-4) as well as the power LED.
9 reset Resets your system and initiates a warm re-
boot.
Save your data before resetting the
system. Otherwise data may be lost.
10 USB 3.0 port The USB 3.0 connector (universal serial bus) of-
fers you the possibility to transfer media, e.g. to
a DVS Mobile Storage quickly.
Further information about RAID and the location of the main
storage and system/metadata hard disks can be found in sec-
tion “Introduction to RAID” on page 5-2. The battery backup
unit is described in section “Battery Backup Unit” on
page 2-21.
