Now you will see the HDD Status & Format window, and the status of 1st HDD has been changed
to Formatted. If there’re more HDD’s newly installed, go ahead with formatting them. After
completing all the hard drive’s formatting, click Reboot button.
Reboot process will take about 30 seconds. Then with your PC’s web browser, open the Admin Page
of the FlexWATCH Server, and check HDD Information on Recording Configuration menu.
If you want to use RAID 1 feature, two hard drives are required in the system. It is strongly
recommended to use the same sized drives. With two drives in the system, you will see the HDD
mode configuration window will be shown as below. You have choice of Normal and RAID1. If you
choose Normal, the two hard drives will store different data and the total amount of storage space
will be the combined capacity of them. If you choose RAID1, there will be only one hard drive seen
on the system and the total amount of storage space will be the capacity of smaller drive.
When using RAID1 feature, if either one of the hard drives fails you will still be able to record and
search video data without any problem. To replace the failed hard drive, it is required to turn the
power off and replace it with a new one. Then turn the power back on, enter the HDD Mode page,
choose Data Recovery menu, select the new hard drive, and click Recovery. By doing that
procedure, RAID1 feature will start functioning again. If HDD Mode is set to Normal, Data Recovery
menu is not shown on the window.
