18GB Disk Drive Upgrade
Introduction
This upgrade adds three internal 18GB disk drives to the Profile system. You can
use this upgrade to add additional disk dr ives to your existing complement of
18GB or 9GB disk drives.
When installing this upgrad e in systems with 9GB disk drives, the 18GB disk drive
capacity is li mited to 9GB because the Prof ile system limits the usable disk s pace
of the larger drives to the size of the smallest drives in the file system.
This manual assumes th at you are a dding t hree int ernal 18GB disk d ri ves eithe r to
a Profile system with only a Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board or a
Profile system with b oth Master and Slave Enha nced Disk Recorder boa rds. If you
are adding the Slave Enhanc ed Disk Recorder (EDR) board, you need to install it
before you perform this upgrade.
If you ordered two 18GB upgrade kits, you can install all the drives you received
using this manual.
NOTE: Before performing this upgrade, be sure to back up any material you
want to save. Creating the disk file system destroys all material on the hard
disk drives.
System Re quirement s
The 18GB disk drive upgrade requir es 2.2.X Profile syste m software version 2.2.4
or above, or any Profile System software above version 2.4.4. To check the
software version installed in your Profile system, open the VrdPanel application
and choose
version in the displayed window. If you do not have the corr ect version of
software, contact your Grass Valley Group representative.

Installing the SCSI Cable and Disk Drives
Installing the SCSI Cable
Installing t he disk drive upgrade in som e Profile systems requi res installing a SCSI
cable. The SCSI cable connections depend on whether or not you have added a
Slave EDR board with this upgrade.
Choose one of the procedures that fol low depending on whether or not you have
added a Slave EDR:
•“Installing the SCSI Cable In Systems Without a Slave EDR”
•“Installing the SCSI Cable in Systems with a New Slave EDR”
Installing the SCSI Cable In Systems Without a Slave EDR
When upgrading a Profile system with out a Slave EDR board, you must add a
SCSI cable to connect the new disk drives you are instal ling to the second SCSI
port (SCSI B) on the Master EDR board.
To install the SCSI cable:
1. Remove the existing SCSI B cable using these steps:
a. Remove the jackscrews which s ecu re the SC SI B co n nect o r to the rear
panel (Êin Figure 7) using the 3/ 16-inch nutdriver. Keep the jackscr ews

Installing the SCSI Cable in Systems with a New Slave EDR
The following assumes th at you have upgrade d a Profile system by adding a Slave
EDR board. In this procedure you will connect a SCSI cable between the SCSI
Backplane board and the SCSI C connector on the new Slave EDR board.
The PCI Interconnect boar d, which conne cts over the top of the Master and Slave
EDR boards, must be removed to install the SCSI cable on the Slave EDR board.
Table 2 lists all the SCSI cable connections for a Profile system with a Master
EDR and a Slave EDR installed.

Installing Disk Drives
To install the new disk drives:
1. Observe ESD cautions and shock warnings on page 6.
2. Observing correct conn ector orientation (see Figure 11), reinstall the disk
drives previ ously r emoved by sli ding the dri ve caddie into the drive tr ay a nd
firmly pressing down to connect the drive connector to the SCSI B ackplane.
3. Observing corre ct conne ctor orienta tion, i n tu rn, sl ide e ach new drive into a n
unused caddie slot in the drive tray as shown in Figure 11 and firmly press
down to connect the drive connector to the SCSI Backplane. Refer to
Figure 11 to determine disk locations for six and seven disk systems.

Reassembling the P rofile System
To reassemble the Profile syste m:
1. If you removed the circuit board retai ner brackets to add the Slave EDR
board, replac e them now .
2. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to replace the top rear cover with the
screws previously removed.
3. With a non-metallic, flat-bladed tool, pry the screw hole plugs out of the
screw holes on the top front cove r leaving a hole for each disk you installed.
4. Use the Torx tool with the T10 and T15 tips to replace the top front cover
with the screws previousl y removed and the additional scre ws included with
the kit.
5. You may wish to reinstall th e Profile syste m in the rack now or after the next
procedure.
Crea ting the Disk File System
The VdrPanel normally start s automatically when you power up the Profile
system, but you first need to create the disk file system to include the new disk
drives. Perform the following to prevent the VdrPanel from starting and to create
the disk file system.
Reassembling the Profile System
1. Reconnect the power cord and all previ ously disconnected cables.
2. Turn on the Profile system and hold the Shift key down during the start up
process until the login window appears.
3. Log in as administrator.
For Username, ent er:
For Password, enter: triton
4. Choose S tart | Programs | Prof ile Applicat ions | Prof ile Disk Util ity to open the

description incl udes the number of disks installed in the system. Also, check
the SCSI IDs on the
Internal tab, shown in Fi gure 12, for the following SCSI
IDs:
SCSI IDs for systems with both Master and Slave EDR boards installed:
- 8-disk system = A:3:0-A:6:0 and C:3:0-C:6:0
- 7-disk system = A:3:0-A:6:0 and C:3:0-C:5:0
- 6-disk system = A:4:0-A:6:0 and C:3:0-C:5:0

Creating the Disk File System
SCSI IDs for systems with only the Master EDR Board installed:
- 8-disk system = A:3:0-A:6:0 and B:3:0-B:6:0
- 7-disk system = A:3:0-A:6:0 and B:3:0-B:5:0
- 6-disk system = A:4:0-A:6:0 and B:3:0-B:5:0

6. If any of t he disk drive IDs do not appear, shut down the Prof ile system and
check:
- The installation of the cables inside the chassis and the cable connectors
for bent or broken pins.
- Proper seating of the drives in the SCSI backplane.
- The drive connectors for bent or broken pins.
Refer to Figure 13 to determine the physical loc ation for each SCSI ID.
