PREPARATIONS 27
POWER UP PROCEDURE Before operating the Disk Recorder, confirm that the cameras and peripherals are connected correctly and securely and all system components are turned on. Note: If during a system check the display shown below appears on the monitor screen, it will be followed by the DISK MENU after five seconds. 1. Turn on the Disk recorder by pressing the POWER switch located on the rear of the Disk Recorder. Make sure that the OPERATE indicator on the front panel is illuminated.
FORMATTING THE HARD DISK The Hard Disk requires formatting before it can be used for storing images, as shown below. • When the Hard Disk in the Disk Recorder is replaced. (Disk formatting is required for the replaced Hard Disk.) • When the optional extension units are operated for the first time after installation. (Disk formatting is required for the Hard Disk in the Extension Unit.) Notes: • Remember that by formatting the hard disk all previously recorded data on the disk will be erased.
6. Select either “1DISK" or “ALL" by pressing the A or B button, then press the SET button. 1DISK: Enables formatting only a specified Hard Disk. ALL: Enables formatting all Hard Disks. If the “1DISK" is selected in the menu, move the cursor to the Hard Disk number to be formatted by pressing the A, B, D or C button, then press the SET button. The instructions appear in the lower-left corner of the menu, as shown below.
FORMATTING THE DVD-RAM DISK The DVD-RAM Disk requires formatting before it can be used for storing images when the DVD Extension Unit is installed in the system for backup of the recording data. Notes: • Remember that by formatting the DVD-RAM disk all previously recorded data on the disk will be erased. • Confirm that the AUTO COPY (EVENT) and AUTO COPY (EMERGENCY) parameters in the DVD menu are set to OFF. Otherwise disk formatting is disabled. 4.
MIRRORING FUNCTION The mirroring function uses an auxiliary array of inexpensive disks to record the same data on two disks at the same time. If an error or malfunction occurs on one of the hard disks, the other disk still records the data normally. This ensures reliability of the system, since the data will always be available on one of the disks. 3. If the Disk Recorder is powered up successfully, the displays as shown below will appear.
5. Select the ALL password (5-digit) by pressing the Numeric buttons (1 - 10). Refer to the password setup in the SYSTEM SETUP menu for further details.
