can erase all data in the HDD. Please note system needs to reboot to get all the modification

activated.

Figure 6-55

For the HDD group setup operation, please note:

 Each channel’s records can be stored into the specified HDD Group.  Each HDD Group is corresponding to several hard disks, while one hard disk is only

included in one HDD Group.  Each channel is only corresponding with one HDD Group, while one HDD Group can

store records from several channels.  HDD Group is only available for read-write HDD and self-defined disks, other types of

hard disks cannot be set as HDD Group.

Important:

 e-SATA also supports this function, you can manage e-SATA hard disk as local hard disk.  Current series software version can only set the HDD group operation of the read-write HDDs.

It is not for the redundancy HDD.

HDD Setting

Click the button ―HDD Settings‖ at the top right corner of the Figure 6-55, system will pop up an interface as below. See Figure 6-56.

The number of hard disk from 1 to 12 is shown in the ―HDD No.‖ column. If there is a mark in the front of the number, it means this interface have access to the hard disk, otherwise it does

not have access to the hard disk. The ―HDD Group‖ column lists the HDD Group number of current hard disk. When you are setting the HDD Group, please check the box of the hard disk, and then choose the corresponding HDD Group number and save the settings.

In Figure 6-56, you can see the system has two working hard disks at the 6th and 7th position, and the 6th position hard disk belongs to HDD Group 1, the 7th position hard disk belongs to HDD Group 2.

Figure 6-56

In Figure 6-57, you can see the 6th and 7th position hard disks both belong to HDD Group 2.

Important

Once you change the HDD Group settings, system will pack the records and snapshots, and then reboot.

Figure 6-57

Channels Setting

Click the button named with ―Channels Settings‖ at the top right corner of the Figure 6-55, system will pop up an interface shown as in Figure 6-58.

The Figure 6-58 and Figure 6-59 show that channels 1 to 16 are associated to HDD Group NO 1, and channels 17 to 32 are associated to HDD Group NO 2. Therefore the records of channels 1 to 16 are stored into the hard disk(s) which belong to HDD Group NO 1, and the records of channels 17 to 32 are stored into the hard disk(s) which belong to HDD Group NO 2.

Important

Once you change the HDD Group settings, system will pack the records and snapshots, and then reboot.
