Setup Procedures; Basic Setups - Panasonic WJ-HDE300 Instruction Manual

■ Setup Procedures

The following pages describe procedures on how to set up or change the disk mode, how to recover data in RAID5, or
how to check the unit number using the HDD SAFETY MODE.
Notes:
• Refer to the operating instructions of the digital disk recorder WJ-HD316A/WJ-HD309A series for setup menu opera-
tions.
• The MODE switches of all units in a system should be set
to the same position, SINGLE or RAID5.
• The HDDs should be installed in the proper positions in the
order as shown in the figure. Do not skip or reverse the
order of the HDD positions. Otherwise, the recorder will not
recognize the extension unit.
• Do not change HDD positions of the extension unit after once the system has been operated. Otherwise, it will be
impossible to read the recorded data.
• The power-on order should be the extension units first and then the recorder. The power-off order should be the
recorder first and then the units.
• At least, three hard disk drives per extension unit are needed to run it in the RAID5 mode.
