d. Click the Next button.
e. Confirm selection of Disk 2, and then click the Finish button.
Both Disk 1 (NVR300 internal storage space) and Disk 2 (DX9200HDDI storage space) are on the same volume (Volume D) and the status is
healthy.
If you wish to add external storage with a second DX9200HDDI video storage section, continue with the next section.
ADDING EXTERNAL STORAGE WITH A SECOND DX9200HDDI VIDEO STORAGE UNIT
Adding external storage to an NVR300 with a second DX9200HDDI video storage unit involves the following steps:
1. Connecting the DX9200HDDI to the NVR300 and powering on the DX9200HDDI
2. Using the Windows XP Disk Management tool to extend the internal storage volume (Volume D) of the NVR300 by adding disk space from
the second DX9200HDDI unit
To perform each of the above steps, refer to the sections that follow.
Step 1. Connect and power on DX9200HDDI.
To connect a second DX9200HDDI to the NVR300 and to power on the DX9200HDDI, do the following:
1. Connect the 68-pin SCSI cable provided with the DX9200HDDI from the SCSI In port of Host A on the DX9200HDDI to the remaining SCSI
connector (channel B) on the rear panel of the NVR300 (refer to Figure 45).
Figure 45. NVR300 Connection to Two DX9200HDDI Video Storage Units
2. Connect the power cord supplied with the DX9200HDDI to the unit and to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
3. Power on the DX9200HDDI by doing the following on the rear panel of the unit:
a. Turn on the three power supplies by setting each power supply ON/OFF switch to the ON position. You can turn on the power supplies
in any sequence.
b. Turn on the main power switch to the unit.
Proceed to Step 2 that follows.
WARNING: Adding external storage with a DX9200HDDI video storage unit may degrade the performance of the NVR300 and result in
momentary gaps in the current recording.
WARNING: The configuration of a DX9200HDDI unit is preprogrammed in the factory for RAID 5 or RAID 5 plus hot spare based on the
order received. Do not attempt to change the configuration of the DX9200HDDI unit. Doing so can cause the unit to become inoperable.
