TSS-2470 Time Delay
Introduction
360 Systems TSS-2470 Time Delay is a high-quality program delay for television broadcast,
satellite delivery, and other applications requiring a user-settable delay time for video, audio, and
ancillary data. Applications for the delay include:
• Compensation for time zone differences, where a program is received at a different time than
when it needs to air.
• Program origination delays, where content is time-shifted prior to transmission or distribution.
• “+1” channels that allow cable casters to offer multiple feeds of the same program content to
maximize channel exposure with limited additional cost. Viewers can choose to see a variety
of different shows in their chosen viewing time, or see an immediate repeat of a show that
interested them simply by changing the channel.
• The TSS-2470 model can be used in a disaster recovery system where a 24 hour delay provides
a guarantee of airing appropriate content for the time of day.
The TSS-2470 can be thought of as a black box that records video, audio, and specific ancillary
data information; it then delays the playback of the program by a user-selectable time period.
Whatever goes in, comes out later.
The TSS-2470 Time Delay will operate as a set-and-forget box with no user intervention. On
restarting after a power failure, it will again start delaying the input according to the most recent
user settings. The delay time is user-programmable from 30 seconds to greater than 40 hours. The
programmed delay interval is frame-accurate over an indefinite time period; if several Time Delays
are fed identical input signals, they will remain in sync indefinitely.
The TSS-2470 Time Delay is convertible from an SD delay server to an HD delay server with no
additional hardware or software. It employs high quality, HD video encoding at 100 Mb/s or SD
encoding at 30 Mb/s which is ideal for this application, providing superior final image quality when
used in conjunction with other codec processes such as MPEG or H.264 for satellite transmission
and cable distribution.
16 embedded audio channels are provided. Alternately, two +4 dBu analog channels are
available.
Vertical Interval Ancillary (VANC) data is reproduced. The payload capacity is set by default to 4K
per frame or field and is adjustable.

Installation
Unpacking
Your TSS-2470 Time Delay has been carefully inspected and calibrated before shipment to allow
immediate operation upon installation. Check all items for signs of visible damage which may have
occurred during shipment. If any item is damaged, contact the carrier to file a claim.
Keep the packing materials in the event that the unit must be shipped. If the original packaging is
not available, make sure that the following criteria are met:
• Packaging must be able to withstand the product weight.
• Product must be held firmly within the package.
• There must be at least two inches (50mm) of space between the product and outer container.
• The corners of the product must be protected.

The TSS-2470 Time Delay is not shipped with a video monitor. Select a VESA-compliant CRT or LCD
monitor capable of a refresh rate of at least 75 Hz. Note that the TSS-2470 Time Delay may not start
correctly if an unsuitable monitor is connected.
If you own more than one TSS-2470 Time Delay, it may be appropriate to use a single keyboard,
monitor, and mouse with a KVM switch to select between units. Not all KVM switching systems are
compatible. The KVM switch must supply an active signal to the TSS-2470 Time Delay at all times,
even when switched away from it. When first powering up the TSS-2470 Time Delay, use only the
supplied keyboard and mouse directly connected. Then test the KVM switch system that will be used
thoroughly before installation is completed. Be especially careful about this when using extender
cables.
Rack Mounting
Cables attached to the rear of the TSS-2470 Time Delay should be supported by proper cable
management. Do not support substantial cable weight from the TSS-2470 Time Delay’s Mini BNC
connectors as this may damage the video board.
In stall the provided rack rails into the rack first then remove the front panel to expose the rack
screw slots. Fasten the TSS-2470 Time Delay into the rack. Replace the front panel.

Important Installation Notes
System Cooling
When many pieces of equipment are mounted in an equipment rack, a considerable amount of heat
may be produced, which must be removed efficiently. Further, a lower operating temperature will
make equipment operate more reliably, and it will last longer. In the extreme case, excessive
temperatures cause rapid equipment failure, and damage which can be difficult to repair.
Heat in an equipment rack should be removed by forced air. This is often accomplished by blowers
installed in the top of the rack, venting into the room. An alternative is to draw hot air from the top
of the rack into an air-conditioning return duct, and not vent it into the equipment room; cold air
should be ducted into the bottom of the rack.
The optimum air temperature for cooling electronic equipment is 25° C (72° F). When many
pieces of equipment are contributing to the heat load, a substantial air-flow will be needed, and the
inlet temperature may need to be lower.
Check These Points
• Are all ventilation holes in the TSS-2470 Time Delay free of obstruction?
• Can blowers or HVAC system adequately remove heat from the equipment rack?
• Have you measured the actual temperature
• Verify that the HVAC system is not
• What procedures are in place to protect the equipment when the HVAC system fails?
on a timer that can shut off on weekends or holidays.
inside the rack? Do this near the top.
Power Conditioning
It is good practice to operate an on-air TSS-2470 Time Delay from an Uninterruptible Power Source,
or UPS. All utility power systems experience occasional transient events, including brownouts and
dropouts, which are capable of taking the TSS-2470 Time Delay off the air. It is the station
operator’s job to plan for and overcome such contingencies.
UPS units suitable for smoothing short-term power line problems come in two varieties:
Change-over UPS Design
This design senses drop-outs and low line voltage, and switches its output to an internal inverter
operating from a battery. This UPS is low in cost, and is most often used in non-critical applications
such as desk-top computers. A disadvantage is that it may create its own power transients when
switching between utility power and its inverter supply. For this reason 360 Systems does not
recommend this type for use with the TSS-2470 Time Delay.
Continuous Conversion UPS Design
This improved design continuously converts utility power to DC, stores it in a battery, then
produces isolated AC power from an inverter. It never switches, and is immune to input transients,
brownouts, and blackouts. Models are available with batteries of almost any size, making the
continuous-conversion UPS suitable for transient suppression or long-term operating power in the
absence of utility power.
10 • 2470HD Time Delay
Recommended UPS Models
There are several manufactures of continuous conversion UPS systems are suitable for use with 360
Systems’ video products. APC and Eaton/Powerware Corporation are two of the most common.
UPS’s are available in several different configurations to accommodate various current load and
power failure support times.
The minimum requirement for maximum current load for a single TSS-2470 Time Delay is 2 amps.
Operating Environment
A TSS-2470 Time Delay is a critical element in broadcast operations. Its installation should
safeguard it from every external event that can interfere with it doing the task expected of it. 360
Systems’ engineers have experience with thousands of installations, and have become aware of a
number of environmental factors that can adversely affect performance. Two of these have already
been discussed: power conditioning and inadequate cooling. Two others, less obvious, should also
be considered:
RF Interference by Cell Phones
Many people are not aware that cell phones can attain a very substantial power output, even when
no conversation is taking place. You may have experienced the effect of a cell phone interfering
with a common desk phone placed nearby. Carrying a cell phone into a machine room where it is
in close proximity to broadcast equipment and its associated wiring is unwise. They are able to
interfere with serial control commands, video synchronization, and in some cases can crash the
CPU in equipment.
Some major broadcasters prohibit the carrying of cell phones into certain machine areas. 360
Systems believes that the risk of undesired equipment behavior from their RF fields is very real.
Static Discharge
Static electricity discharge is accepted by most people as an inevitable consequence of living in a
dry area. It is, rather, a result of floor coverings that may enhance appearances, but are
inappropriate for use around critical pieces of broadcast equipment. Static discharge can do two
adverse things:
• Discharge into a connector can—and will—destroy internal circuitry of equipment. The result
will always be difficult to diagnose and repair.
• Discharge to equipment frames or wiring can crash a CPU and take the station off the air. The
event may seem random or unrelated to static, but it is clearly a catastrophic event—and one
that can repeat indefinitely as humidity varies.
Several steps can be taken to protect equipment from static discharge:
• Do not install critical broadcast equipment in a room with carpeting.
• Connect equipment racks directly to an earth ground with a heavy copper conductor.
• Do not operate equipment with a lifted safety ground (green frame ground).
• Install a humidifier, if necessary, to reduce the likelihood of static discharge.

About TSS-2470 Time Delay Software
The TSS-2470 Time Delay is shipped with its application programs and operating system installed.
The first time that it is started, it must be connected to a keyboard, monitor and mouse in order to
enter the operational parameters. It is recommended that these always be available, however once
set up the delay process will start automatically when the system powers up and the input signals
are present.
If for any reason it becomes necessary to reinstall any software, refer to the Software / Firmware
updates chapter on page 30 for instructions.

Front Panel Features
Front Panel
The front panel is held on by two roller clips, one on each end of the panel. To remove the front
panel, grasp the left or right end of the panel and pull straight out. The front panel is reinstalled by
reversing this process.
Power Button
The Power button is located directly behind the font panel on the right side. To turn the system on,
press and release the power button. A sequence of start-up screens will appear, ending with the
graphical user interface.
When the TSS-2470 Time Delay is running, pressing the Power button momentarily will cause the
system to begin an orderly shutdown. This can also be initiated from the GUI by selecting
START > SHUTDOWN > SHUTDOWN. In most cases the power will shut off automatically,
however if the front panel lights begin to blink, the file system has been properly closed and it is safe to
force the power off by holding the front panel button in for 4 seconds.
In the event that the system has stopped responding to commands and will not shutdown, hold the
button in for 4 seconds to force a power down.
CAUTION:
LOSS OF DATA CAN OCCUR IF THE POWER IS TURNED OFF WITHOUT A SHUTDOWN.
USE THE FOUR SECOND SHUTDOWN ONLY IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING OR THE
SHUTDOWN PROCESS DOES NOT TURN THE POWER OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
Indicators
Three blue LED Status Indicators appear on the front panel. These indicators are illuminated
continuously or in some cases are dark when inactive on not connected. The NIC indicator will flash
on and off if a network cable is attached indicating network activity. Error conditions are indicated by
flashing of the SYS indicator. See the table Front Panel Indicators on page 31 for diagnostic meanings.

Operations
The Graphical User Interface
The TSS-2470 Time Delay uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to control most functions.
A keyboard and mouse are included, and the user needs to supply an SVGA compliant monitor.
The GUI is divided into two sections: Run/Stop control, and Time Delay Set. Controls and
displays for each section are described below.
In addition, the Menu Bar provides two dialogs, accessed through Configure>Options,
and Help>About.
16 2470HD Time Delay
Graphical User Interface
Run, Stop, Time to Air display
Time Delay Setting and Quick Select Presets
Run/Stop Control
Run
The RUN button initiates or restarts the TSS-2470 Time Delay process. Press RUN to begin a
new delay cycle and start the Time-to-Air countdown. When the countdown reaches zero, it
changes to ON LINE, and the delayed video begins playing from the main Program Output.
Upon power up the TSS-2470 Time Delay will automatically enter Run mode and start the
delay process if a valid input is detected, or if Frame Synchronizer is selected a valid reference
signal is detected..
Stop
The STOP button stops playout and clears stored program content from memory. Note that
the Time Delay value can only be changed when the machine is in the STOP mode.
Time to Air
Initially, the Time to Air display shows the selected Time Delay Setting. Once RUN is
pressed and the recording process sets up and commences, Time to Air is a countdown value,
displaying the time remaining before delayed program material reaches the output. It is an
approximate display value; it is not directly locked to the video timing.
Time Delay Setting
Delay time is entered and displayed in the DELAY TIME window in HH:MM:SS:FF format.
(Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames) The desired time is entered from the keyboard from left-to-right.
Delay times may also be entered as whole units of seconds, minutes, hours, by appending
a suffix, (s, m, or h) to the value entered into the text box, such as “120m” or “30s.” “1d’ will set a
24 hour delay.
Operations 17
Delay Hours Quick Select
Nine preset buttons provide a rapid way to set a delay time to an even number of hours
from 1 to 24. With the machine stopped, clicking on one of these buttons will immediately load
that time value, expressed in hours. An appropriate number of zeros will also be entered for
MM:SS:FF. The presets are not active while the machine is running.
Configure Options Dialog
Configure Options Dialog
Main Screen Title
This allows a user selected title to replace the default “TSS-2470 Time Delay” in the title bar of the
main GUI window.
18 2470HD Time Delay
Video Mode
Four radio buttons select the Video Mode, which includes the frame rate and video format. These are:
This setting can only be changed when the TSS-2470 Time Delay is stopped. When it is
changed, the unit will display a warning and then automatically perform a quick restart to initialize
in the newly selected mode.
VANC Buffer Size
This field adjusts the amount of VANC data (such as Closed Captions) stored by the server.
Valid range is from 0KB per frame to 4KB per frame. Consult with 360 Systems technicians before
setting this to values higher than 4 KB/frame.
Output Timing
This controls the timing relationship of the output to the reference, which is the input video
or the genlock reference as set by the Frame
Synchronizer checkbox.
Note that these timing adjustments apply
only to the Delay output, not the Monitor output.
The monitor outputs are designed for confidence
monitoring only, and are not timed.
In most applications these adjustments are not necessary. They are only used in
environments where the output must be adjusted to match other timed equipment, for example
when using a switcher or video mixer that requires precise timing alignment.
Both adjustments are made by using numeric entry from the keyboard or the Up and Down
Arrow buttons next to the parameter’s numeric display.
The Output Timing values are the only parameters that are adjustable while the TSS-2470
Time Delay is in RUN to allow timing while in operation. Adjustments take effect immediately
without using Apply or OK, allowing the effects to be seen easily. The picture will blank while the
change takes effect.
Operations 19
Vertical (Lines)
Adjusts the output line timing in relation to the reference, by an amount equal to one complete
line. The adjustment range is -4 to +30 lines.
Horizontal (nsec)
Adjusts the output line timing in relation to the reference, by an amount equal to one half pixel.
The adjustment range is ±100,000.
The Up/Down Arrow buttons increment in steps of 10 nsec.
Frame Synchronizer
This makes the timing of the output reference the Genlock input rather than the input
signal. This is used in systems where the output of the Time Delay is contributing to a timed system
such as a video switcher.
There must be a valid Black/burst or Tri-level sync signal present on the input before the
delay recording process will start. If the signal is lost after that, the time delay will run from its
internal generator until the reference signal returns. The internal sync generator is also referenced
to the genlock and tries to maintain it rate when it is lost, so there will be little disturbance of the
signal if the interruption is brief.
20 2470HD Time Delay
Configure Network
Network parameters are set in the Configure Network dialog. Network communication for
the TSS-2470 Time Delay is designed primarily to support access to error logs and factory
diagnostics. It can also support automatic time updates using the NTP protocol. The system time is
used only in the diagnostic system message logs, it does not affect the operation of the TSS-2470
Time Delay in any way. Therefore, it is not mandatory to connect the system to a network if you
are not taking advantage of these features.
Use only the NET1 connection on the rear panel to connect to the network. Make no
connection to NET2.
Configure Network dialog
Use the Configure Network dialog to configure network communication settings.
From the Main Menu selection bar at the top of the screen, select Setup>Options, then in
the window on the left select Network.
Each TSS-2470 Time Delay is shipped with a unique default network Host Name and IP
Address. Qualified network engineers may change these configurations to suit your specific
network environment. Factory defaults for networking are:
• Disable Network is checked
• Use DHCP is unchecked
Do not connect the system to a network if you are not sure that the IP Address and other settings
are appropriate for that network. If you must connect it, be sure that Disable Network is checked.
Disable Network Checkbox
This selection turns the network off or on. The default is Disable.
Operations 21
Use DHCP Checkbox
Enabling DHCP will configure the network interface automatically.
If the DHCP box is not selected, the user may then manually enter assignments in the
following windows:
• Host Name
• IP Address
• Net Mask
• Default Router
• Name Server
Host Name may be a fully qualified domain name, such as edit1.mydomain.com. All other
manually configured addresses must be properly formatted IP addresses.
FTP User and Password
In order to obtain log files from the server for use when troubleshooting technical issues, you
must FTP to the server from a remote computer. Setting the user name and password adds a
layer of security so that accidental or unauthorized access to the server is not permitted.
Saving Network Configuration
Click on OK or APPLY to accept new entries. To abandon unsaved changes and return to the
current setting, click the red close box at the upper right of the dialog window.
Some changes may not take full effect until the TSS-2470 Time Delay is restarted. It is
recommended that a full restart be performed after enabling DHCP.
22 2470HD Time Delay
Date and Time
Date and Time are used only for display in the GUI and internal error-logging, the system time
has no effect on the operation of the video delay.
From the Main Menu selection bar at the top of the screen, select Configure>Options, then
select Date/Time in the window at left.
The date and time in the TSS-2470 Time Delay’s system clock can be set by entering values in
the Time Set window. To enable the NTP service, check the Automatic Updates box. A valid entry
for at least one NTP server must be made in the Network setup dialog, and the network must be
configured and connected. See the next section for information on NTP.
The date and time should only be set when the TSS-2470 Time Delay is in STOP mode.
Date and Time dialog
Network Time Protocol
Automatic Date/Time Updates
The TSS-2470 Time Delay’s clock can be set automatically from a network time server that is
referenced to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
This is accomplished using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). A time server could be an in-house
computer that is equipped with a GPS receiver, or a radio receiver locked to signals from the NIST
radio station W W V . Alternatively, public time servers may be used which are accessible through an
Internet connection.
Operations 23
Connecting to the Network
To obtain automatic date/time updates from the public time servers on the Internet, you will need to
provide the server with Internet access. Generally, servers would be connected on a secure highspeed local area network, with any Internet connection going through a router with an integrated
firewall. The Network Time Protocol uses TCP/IP port number 123, so be sure the firewall is
configured to allow access to this port per Figure 1.
Figure 1 - NTP Network Block Diagram
Configuring NTP
The TSS-2470 Time Delay GUI is used to set the time zone and to enter the networking parameters.
Selecting the Time Zone
Starting at the main menu bar, Click Edit->Configure->Date-Time screen. When “Automatic
Updates” is not checked, the Region and Zone lists are enabled. Select your region and then the zone
within that region. There may be more than one way to your zone; America/New York, for example,
is the same as US/Eastern. Click the APPLY button to activate the settings.
After changing the time zone a Full Restart must be performed before changes become
effective.

IP Address: 192.168.1.20
Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Router: 192.168.1.1
Do not use these examples unless you know that they are appropriate, as addressing errors can
cause problems for the entire network. If you are in doubt consult with your IT specialist.
The Name Servers and NTP Servers fields provide the information needed to reach the public time
servers. Note that NTP and the System Time in no way affects the accuracy of the Time Delay.
The NTP Servers field contains a list of time servers, either by numeric IP address, or by site name
(URL). Entries are separated by spaces.
The nonprofit Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) maintains sites that automatically return lists of
public time servers to an NTP client such as the server. Hence, the NTP Servers field is initially filled
in with the URL’s for these sites (0.pool.ntp.org, for example). Of course, this list with the addresses
of specific time servers you may want to use can be overwritten. However, any attempt to clear the
NTP Servers field will reset it to the default list.
Note: When URLs (non-numeric site address such as pool.ntp.org) are used in the NTP Servers
field, the IP address of at least one DNS (Domain Name server) in the Name Servers field must be
provided. Typically, this address is supplied by your Internet Service Provider.
These name servers translate URL names into numeric IP addresses needed to access the sites in
question.
When using a GPS-based time server which is connected directly to a local area network, enter its
numeric IP address (such as 192.168.1.60) into the NTP Servers field, leaving the Name Servers field
blank.
Also, if the numeric IP addresses of the public or corporate time servers on the Internet is known,
these addresses can be entered, separated by spaces, in the NTP Servers field, leaving the Name
Servers field blank, since there would be no URLs to be resolved.
Note: Not all time servers allow unlimited public access.

General Handling Precautions
ESD Precautions
Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid damaging
static-sensitive components when handling any PC card or disk drive.
• When the case of your server is open and its internal parts are exposed, do not touch
any internal part without first grounding yourself to the chassis.
• Always wear a ground strap or work on an ESD-protective mat.
• DO NOT remove components from protective packaging until you are properly
grounded.
• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges or by the metal bracket.
• Don’t touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the printed circuit boards.
• Keep disk drives in their anti-static package until installed in the server.
Mechanical Concerns
• Be careful when installing I/O cards into your system. Excessive force can damage the
PC boards, cables, hard drives or the motherboard.
• Be sure each board is aligned with its slot in the mating connector before installing.
Use care to not flex any PC boards.
• Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully. Use care to not bend any of the
pins. The connectors provided are keyed to prevent upside-down insertion.
• Interface cables are fragile and must not be pinched. Ensure that their dress does not
restrict airflow from fans or heat sinks within the enclosure.
• Prior to installation, keep disk drives stored in a foam-lined protective carton to protect
them from physical damage.
Maintenance 33
Installing/Removing I/O Cards
Follow the preceding instructions to remove the top cover. The I/O cards are accessible from the
top of the chassis.
Video I/O Card
Slide the gray plastic locking tab up by gently pulling on the tab.
Slide the card out of the riser card to remove.
Reverse the procedure to install a card. After all the screws are reinstalled, check that the
riser card, RAID card, and video card are all seated properly in their PCI connectors.
Accessing the Main System Board
There are no user-configurable options on the main system board. If you suspect that the
system board is not operating properly, consult with 360 Systems before proceeding. DO
NOT undertake any repairs on it.
34 2470HD Time Delay
Managing the RAID Disk Array
The RAID Disk Array is for the most part, self maintaining. Any errors that occur are generally
automatically assessed and the proper steps are taken by the system to correct the errors. A BIOS
level configuration utility is included on the system but is only used in conjunction with the initial
setup of the drives.
A single drive fault should not cause data loss; but remember: the drive array is degraded and no
longer has storage redundancy. Hence, another disk failure (or removal of the wrong disk) may cause
a complete loss of data and system failure. After a drive failure it is strongly recommended that at the
earliest time diagnostics be performed, and the server be taken off line while the RAID array is rebuilt.
Error Notification and Repair
The TSS-2470 Time Delay will notify users in the event of a fault by an indicator in the GUI status bar,
on the bottom of the screen and highlighted in yellow as shown below. A drive fault can be trigged by
a variety of conditions. The first step in response to an error warning is to wait 10 minutes and see if
the status indicator changes. In most cases the system will detect the error and initiate a rebuild
process. The GUI will display an updated message indicating the percent of the drive rebuild.
GUI Drive Fault Indication
Status messages you may see on the status line:
• Initializing, indicated by "Initializing"
• Degraded, indicated by "Degraded"
• Resyncing, indicated by "Resyncing x%"
• Recovering, indicated by "Recovering x%"
• Drive Removed, indicated by "Drive ‘n’ removed" where ‘n’ corresponds the drive number of a
drive that has either failed or been physically removed. Drives are numbered 0 through 3, 0 is
the leftmost drive when viewing from the front of the unit.
“Recovering” or “Resyncing” is the process by which the array controller creates the data parity
information or corrects data parity errors that may have occurred because of power loss, incorrect
shutdown or some other data error.
The term “degraded” refers to the state of the Array data, not necessarily the hardware or disk drives
themselves. It indicates that the parity information that protects the data is not up to date.
Parity errors may occur if the TSS-2470 Time Delay loses power, or is improperly shut off. No data
will be lost, but the parity re-initialization process may take several hours. NEVER directly unplug the
power cords from the unit without first properly shutting down the system. Shut down the system
only by momentarily pressing the front panel Power button or selecting Start > Shutdown >
Shutdown from the graphic user interface.
Maintenance 35
Note that in some cases the power may not automatically shut off after a Shutdown is executed. If the
system does not turn itself off within three minutes, force the power off by holding the Power switch
in until the unit turns off.
Drive Replacement
If the array continues to indicate a failed drive, replace the drive. Although the drives are hot
swappable and can be replaced while the system is running, it is recommended that if possible the
unit be taken offline and powered off prior to conducting any maintenance or repairs.
If the drive is hot swapped, the system should recognize within no more than 5 minutes that a new
drive has been installed, and start to rebuild the array.
If the rebuild process does not start automatically, it may be necessary to cycle power. If this does not
result in the rebuild starting automatically, contact 360 Systems support.
When powering up with a newly replaced drive, the RAID boot up screen should indicate that the
drive is present. Once the system has powered up the rebuild operation should start and be indicated
in the status line. The system can be used immediately, but if possible allow the RAID to finish
rebuilding before putting the system back in service. If the Recording process starts automatically,
simply click the Stop button in the GUI.
A hard disk array ideally should be repaired using the same drive model and capacity as other drives
in the array. Because specific drive models become unavailable as time goes on, 360 Systems
recommends that maintenance spares be purchased at the same time as the server. It is possible to
use a larger drive than the original, in this case the drive will be partitioned to match the size of the
original.
When ordering spare drives, note carefully which model TSS-2470 Time Delay you have:
Model TSS-2470 requires a 1 TB Western Digital WD 1003FBYX drive or currently
qualified drive.
360 Systems part number 500-119-0035
The server hard disk drives have been factory tested and configured in a RAID 5 array. Each drive
is numbered (0-3) and must be attached to the correctly numbered data cable. Drive bays are also
numbered.
Please read Removing the Front Panel on page 32 for instructions on accessing the hard drive bays.
Replacing a Hard Drive
Each hard drive bay is numbered 0 through 3, as are the drives. If for any reason one or more
drives have been removed, they must be reinstalled in a bay whose number matches the drive.
Installation in the wrong location will damage data stored on all drives.
Although the drives are hot swappable and can be replaced while the system is running, it is
recommended that if possible the unit be taken offline and powered off prior to conducting any
maintenance or repairs.
1. Turn system power OFF with the front panel button. After it has shut down, turn off the AC
power switch and unplug the AC power cords.
2. Remove the front panel as described on page 32.
36 2470HD Time Delay
3. Release the lever on the front of the drive and pull the drive out of the chassis.
4. Replace the drive and fasten the holding plate in place.
5. Replace the front panel.
6. Replace the AC power cords and turn on the rear panel AC switch.
7. Turn the system ON using the front panel button and check the RAID array status.
8. Check for correct operation of the TSS-2470 Time Delay.
NOTE: All drives in the RAID array must be “RAID Enabled” or “RAID Edition” drives. Any
replacement must have an actual capacity equal to or larger than the drives that existed when the
array was originally created.
Drives that are advertised as being a particular size vary in actual size. Before attempting to
rebuild an array, check that the size of the drive reported when it is installed is at least equal to or
larger than the existing drives in the array. The size is reported in the bootup screen for the RAID
system during power up.
