REGULATORY NOTICES

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

You may also find helpful the following booklet, prepared by the FCC: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402.

Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission’s rules.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with nonapproved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult your electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the plug, convenience receptacle, and the point where it exits from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when using the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when used for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, the apparatus does not operate normally, or the apparatus has been dropped.

15. Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

16. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

17. To reduce the risk of shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

DESCRIPTION

MODELS

The DX9200HDDI video storage unit is one of the components of the DX9000 system. The storage unit contains up to 14 IDE hard disk drives for storing video information from the DX9000 recorder. Up to four IDE storage units can be connected to a recorder.

The storage unit uses redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) technology. Level 5 or Level 5+1 is available. In Level 5, data is divided between drives in such a way that if one drive fails, the data can be reconstructed from the remaining drives. Level 5+1 is similar to Level 5, but it includes a hot spare drive. If a drive fails, the redundant data relocates automatically to the hot spare and begins the reconstruction process without user intervention.

Features include:

• 14 hot-swappable Ultra DMA hard drive trays

• Maximum storage capacity of over 3 terabytes

• Fault tolerant data protection

• Supports redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) levels 5 and 5+1

• Automatic detection and disconnection of failed hard drives

• Automatic online rebuild of new hard drives

• Industry standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) wide rack-mountable chassis

WARNING: The storage unit’s configuration has been preprogrammed in the factory for either RAID 5 or RAID 5+1 based on the order received. Do not attempt to change the unit’s configuration. Doing so can render the unit inoperable.

The following models use 120 GB IDE hard drives.
