Page 39: Operation
This chapter describes how to operate the Pronto2K/ProntoHD hard- ware. First, the most basic operation is explained, i.e. how to start the video system and how to shut it down. After that follows a description of the individual items of the Pronto2K/ProntoHD chassis in detail. -
Page 40: Basic Operation
4.1.1 Starting the System After a proper installation of the system (see chapter “Installation” on page 3-1) you may start the Pronto2K/ProntoHD at any time. To start the video system perform the following: ! Press the main power switch briefly to turn on the video system. -
Page 41: Shutting Down The System
To turn off the video system with the Pronto2K/ProntoHD delivered with 2 chassis you have to shut down the main system first. After that you can turn off the disk array of the Pronto2K/ProntoHD. You have to turn off the power on both casings. - Page 42 Pronto2K/ProntoHD Hardware Guide ! Shut down the system by pressing the main power switch until the system turns off. Shutting down the video system while the operating sys- tem is loading may lead to corrupted system data. Use this procedure only if absolutely necessary.

Operation Operational Items This section describes the operational items of the Pronto2K/ ProntoHD chassis in detail and explains how to operate them. 4.2.1 Faceplate The operable front panel of the video system is covered by a face- plate which can be removed to access the operational items. -
Page 44: Dvd-Rom
The status LED shows when the drive is ac- cessed by the system. Pronto2K/ProntoHD delivered with 2 chassis: With the faceplates of the casings removed you can distinguish the two systems via the DVD-ROM: The main system of the video sys- tem incorporates a DVD-ROM whereas the disk array does not in- clude a DVD-ROM. -
Page 45: Controls
If possible, save your data before resetting the system. Otherwise the data may be lost. Pronto2K/ProntoHD delivered with 2 chassis: Because the disk array does not contain any computer components, the system reset but- ton provides no function here. - Page 46 Pronto2K/ProntoHD Hardware Guide settings The system settings determine that the video system uses SCSI to connect the computer system with the video hard disks. These settings are factory set. Do not change them. In the figure above you can find the default set- tings for SCSI.

Page 48: Hard Disk Maintenance
5.1.1 How to Act when a Hard Disk Fails With the Pronto2K/ProntoHD you will notice a broken hard disk when a proper play-out or record of video is no longer possible. Then you have the possibility to replace the broken disk. - Page 49 Maintenance mounting screw disk carrier Figure 5-1: Hard disk carrier overview To remove a video disk from the system perform the following: ! If appropriate, stop the operation of your video system. Although you can change the video disks with the power turned on (on-the-fly), it is recommended to shut down the system for this procedure.
- Page 50 Pronto2K/ProntoHD Hardware Guide ! Exchange the broken disk with a new one and assemble it in the disk carrier again with the screws. It is best to use the same brand and type of hard disk again. Otherwise a loss of performance might occur.
- Page 51 ’Dynamic Disks’. ! After that create a partition on the stripe set (’Stripeset Partition’) and set the drive letter to ’V’ (for ’video’). Some DVS maintenance tools depend on a correct drive letter and volume name for the Pronto2K/ProntoHD stripe set.
