Solid State Drive; Status Lights - FLIR X-Series User Manual

6.2.2 Solid State Drive

The X-series cameras use a standard form factor 2.5 inch SSD that is used in PCs and laptops and
can be obtained from many retail outlets. A 512GB high performance SSD is provided with the
cameras, and SSD drives with capacities up to 4TB are available. Using a high performance SSD will
result in faster data transfers from RAM to the SSD.
The SSD is hot-swappable and can be removed at any time, EXCEPT when data from the RAM buffer
is being written to the SSD. To remove the drive, remove the SSD cover. The cover is held in place
by two thumb screws. The cover is optional but provides additional mechanical stability and provides
accidental drive removal. Cover can be stored using screw holes located on side of the top handle.
Then simply pull the drive from the slot. To insert the drive, insert the drive label up, connector end
first into the drive slot until you feel the connector seat.

6.2.3 Status Lights

The X8500 and X6900-Series cameras provide a set of status indicators on the back panel to give the
user some visual feedback on the camera operating state.
