Diagnostic Utilities
Avid provides a hard-drive exerciser in the Utilities folder where your
Avid editing application has been installed on your system. Avid
diagnostic utilities can also be found on the Knowledge Center of
Avid’s web site. Use the hard-drive exerciser program to test for SCSI
subsystem failures, recoverable data errors, nonrecoverable data
errors, and in some cases, you can mount and unmount LVD shuttles.
Depending on your release, the Utilities folder will contain Avid
StorEx or Avid Storage Manager.
n
Unmount the LVD shuttles before you run a diagnostic program.
Avid provides the following utilities for these operating systems.
Always check the release notes that ship with your Avid software
release to see if there have been any updates that relate to the
MediaDock 2+ enclosure.

system, there are
