5.4.4.1 Installing the SSD

The SSD storage is removable. It is a commonly available 2.5 inch SATA solid-state drive. The drive
slot is located at the top of the camera's rear panel, as shown below. The drive slot is normally
covered by a removable cap. To remove the cap, loosen the captive thumbscrews. The cap is mainly
needed to secure the SSD when transporting the camera, or if there is a possibility of vibration that
could unseat the drive. If the cap is not desired, it can be stored on the top of the camera, using the
screw holes located on the right side of the upper heatsink, below the handle. With the cap removed,
and no drive installed, the slot is still
covered by a spring-loaded door.
To install an SSD, insert the drive,
connector end first, into the slot.
Simply push the drive through the
spring loaded door until it seats in the
connector. The back of the drive will
protrude slightly. This allows the drive
to be gripped for removal. To remove
the drive, simply pull the drive out.
(There is no eject or release
mechanism).
X-series User's Manual
SSD Functions
These controls allow the user to precisely control the playback
limits. The start and stop frame can be set directly by the text
boxes. The handles at the end of the blue line can also dragged
by the mouse to set the limits. The gray bar controls the current
playback position. The box above displays the current frame and
can be edited to set the current frame manually. The handle on
the bar can be dragged using the mouse to set the current frame.
The buttons at the ends of the playback slider can be used to
advance/rewind a single frame at a time.
This button can be used to clear the SSD drive. It is NOT a
secure wipe. It only clears the Movie Allocation Table (MAT).
NOTE: Although movies can be individually deleted using the
folder icon, this does not necessarily make more space available
for recording. In order to achieve consistent performance, the
recording system must start new recordings at the end of the last
recording.
