About Connectors
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Connectivity
This section explains how to connect an Uninterruptible Power Supply (hereafter UPS) as part of your power outage countermeasures.
When the recorder receives a power outage detection signal from the UPS, it begins its internal power off sequence (process to stop recording to
protect the recorder).
After the internal power off sequence is complete, a signal is output from the Power outage recovery completion output to the UPS and the
recorder is then ready to turn off power.

Replacing Faulty HDD during RAID
Operation
When one HDD errors ([1down]) in RAID5 mode, the data on the
remaining HDDs can be read and recovery is possible.
When two HDDs errors ([2down]) in RAID6 mode, the data on the
remaining HDDs can be read and recovery is possible.
Important:
• Do not turn off the power until RAID is recovered. Data
recovery may not be done normally when the power is turned
off.
