Appendix G Earthing 1. What is the surge? Surge is a short current or voltage change during a very short time. In the circuit, it lasts for microsecond. In a 220V circuit, the 5KV or 10KV voltage change during a very short time (about microseconds) can be called a surge.
Page 436  Signal lightning arrester: This device is mainly used in the PC network, communication system. The connection type is serial connection. Once you connected the signal lightning arrestor with the signal port, it can cut the channel of the thunderstorm to the device, and on the other hand, it can discharge the current to the ground to guarantee the device proper work.
Page 437 conductance of the ground conductor. In the high-frequency circuit, you need to use the multiple-point ground mode and each cable needs to connect to the ground. The length shall be less than the 1/20 of the signal wavelength. Mixed ground: The mix ground consists of the feature of the one-point ground and multiple-point ground.
Page 438  The thunder proof ground shall adopt the special ground cable from the monitor control room to the ground object. The ground cable adopts copper insulation cable or wire and its ground section shall be more than 20mm2.  The ground cable of the monitor system can not short circuit or mixed connected with the strong alternative current cable.
Page 439 For L (live cable) Turn the digital multimeter to 750V AC, use your one hand to hold the metal end, and then the other hand insert the pen to the L port of the socket. See the following figure. If the multimeter shows 120, then you can see current live cable connection is standard.
Page 441: Appendix H Raid Introduction
Appendix H RAID Introduction Appendix H-1 About RAID RAID is an abbreviation for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is to combine several independent HDDs (physical HDD) to form a HDD group (logic HDD) to provide more storage capacity and data redundancy. Right now system supports RAID0/RAID1/RAID5/RAID10.
Page 442 RAID Note Min HDD Level Needed you replace the first HDD, then the RAID1 is null. Because the data in the first malfunction HDD is not complete, system can not rebuild the data based on the first damaged HDD. Now you need to use the second malfunction HDD, usually you can get the all data again.
