Product Description
The PDX218 Disk Expansion Chassis provides external stor age for the Pr ofile Video
File Server. The PDX 218 contains eight 18GB Ultra-SCSI disk drives on two SCSI
buses; four disk drives on each bus. The two SCSI buses can be connected togethe r,
using one of the external SCSI cables provided, placing all eight disk drives on a
single SCSI bus. This design provides the flexibility to operate the PDX218 with
different Profile Video File Server configurations.
The Profile Disk Utility, included with Profile system software, is used to configure
the PDX218 for operation as part of the Profile system. Fo r more information about
the Profile Disk Ut ili ty refer t o “Using the Pr ofile Dis k Uti lilt y” in the Profile Family
User Manual.

Storage Capac ity
The Profile Video File Server stor a ge capacity is determined by the number of disk
drives in the system and the select ed vid eo data rate used to record the video signal.
The Profile Video File Server stor age space can be expanded by adding one or two
PDX218 Disk Expansion Chassis containing eight 18GB disk drives each.
Table 1-1 shows storage capacity estimates at selected video data rates for a sin gle
PDX218 containing eight 18GB disk drives
All Profile applic ations software allows yo u to select the video da ta rate used to record
the video signal. For more information about setting the video data rate, refe r the
appropriate sections of the Profile Family User Manual.

Installing
This chapter describe s the physical installa tion of your PDX218 and configuring it for
use with your Profile Video File Serv er. The information includes:
• Mounting the PDX 218 in the equipment rack.
• Making PDX218 rear panel cable connections.
• Turning power On.
• Making a file system on the PDX218.
Rack Mounting
The PDX218 installs in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack slides allow the
PDX218 to slide in and out without having to remove it from the rack. However, if
the rack does not already have rack slides installed, or if the slides are not correctly
positioned, you will have to use those shipped with the PDX218.
When determining the location of t he PDX218 in the rack, bear in mind that the unit
weighs approximately 51.5 pounds. Observe the following warnings:
WARNING: To prevent inju ry, t wo people a re req uired to li ft th e PDX218. It is too
!
heavy for one person to install in the rack.
WARNING: To prevent seriou s injury , in sure that the rack i s anc hored to the f loo r
!
so that it cannot tip over when the PDX218 is extended out of the rack.
