10.1. IEEE1394 Port

ELX16 -240 series have two IEEE1394 ports for external storage device interface. With them, ELX16-240
series can expand storage capacity up to 4TB.

Some IEEE1394 Bay may not be recognized by the ELX16-240 series . Before purchasing, consult the
local distributor.

10.2. Connecting IEEE1394 Device

When using FireWire support ed external HDD, hard drive bays can be connected to 1 port in the front
panel or 1 port in the rear panel. The ELX16-240 series does not supply power to the hard drive bay;
therefore only bays that use external power can be used.

ELX16 -240 series detect external HDD, even though ELX16-240 series run. If not, it is recommended
to connect as follows.

Rugged CCTV

1. Power off ELX16 -240.

2. Connect external HDD to IEEE1394 port.

3. Power on external device.

#1. HDD

#1.1. Fundamental Notions & Terms

DVR Storing Constructure (VFS2)

DVR series has a peculiar storing constructure, and its features are as follows.

(1) It is possible to connect 2 sets of HDD internally (Internal, ATA Interface) and 63 sets of HDD
externally (External, 2 ports of IEEE1394).
(2) All of the connected HDDs is recognized as one virtual disk, and DVR supports upto 4TB.
(3) Hdds are divided into primary disk (connected firstly) and auxillary disk.

ATA(or EIDE) supports two channel interfaces (Primary/Secondary). Each channel can be connected to
two devices (Master/Slave, HDD/CD-ROM). However DVR supports 1 channel interface internally and
total two HDDs. In order to prevent confusing VFS2 ’s Primary Disk, we will not use the terms
(Primary/Secondary).

(4) Primary disk is composed of log partition, normal partition, and alarm partition, and auxillary disk is
composed of only normal partition. So if primary disk has some problem, all of the recorded data will
be lost.

<Note>

Log Partition To store the information of recorded data
Normal Partition To store the data as normal recording schedule
Alarm Partition To store the data as alarm recording condition (MD or Sensor)
