possible, hold the latch while at the same
time grasping the FSHDD-1 drive handle and
pulling the HDD out from DR-DV5000.
USING EXTERNAL FIREWIRE
DISK
DRIVES
In addition to using FireStore FSHDD-1
FireWire HDDs in the internal slot on DR-
DV5000, it is also possible to connect any
FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port on
DR-DV5000. Power a single FireWire disk
drive on DR-DV5000 at any given time (either
internal or external). If external drives are
being used as additional volumes to the
inserted FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD, it will be
necessary to provide external power to these
drives. It may also be necessary to partition
and format drives before use with DR-
DV5000. See page 32 of this user guide for
instructions on preparing drives before use.
NOTE: It is possible to "hot swap" both
internal and external FireWire HDDs on
DR-DV5000. Drives can be disconnected and
connected from the system without the need to
power cycle the unit. Ensure that DR-DV5000
is in STOP mode before removing a disk drive.
PHYSICAL FEATURES
Your FireStore DR-DV5000 features two
main surfaces, the front panel and the rear
connector panel.
FRONT PANEL
The front panel contains the backlit LCD
and nine buttons for controlling FireStore’s
functions. The top row of buttons act as Soft
Keys and provide the function displayed on
the bottom of the LCD.
The front panel also features a tally light,
infrared remote sensor and power switch.
1. Tally Light
The DR-DV5000 red tally light is located
at the top of the DR-DV5000 front panel. In
general, this light will flash when DR-DV5000
is in REC/PAUSE mode and be solid when in
RECORD mode. This light is also used to
warn the user when an error or warning
message appears on the DR-DV5000 LCD
display. See the “DR-DV5000 RECORD
AND CONTROL LCD AND CAMCORDER
VIEWFIDER DISPLAY MODES” section
on page 41 of this User Guide for more
information on tally light status.
2. Power Switch
FireStore DR-DV5000’s power switch is
located on the top left side of the front panel.
This switch, although mechanical, is controlled
via software. When the power switch is set to
ON and then OFF, in most cases the unit will
take a moment to power down. During this
time, DR-DV5000 is ensuring that any files
that have not been closed properly in a record
session get closed. This prevents errors
occurring on particular files.
