Procedure
The procedure of a hard disk drive exchange differs for devices with or without RAID sys-
tem.
8.2.1
With RAID System
The integrated RAID technology allows continuous recording when a hard disk drive fails.
The defective hard disk drive can be replaced during operation (hot-swap).
Proceed as described below, to ensure the highest possible data security:
Note that
•
new HDDs must be tested and released for mounting by Dallmeier (HDD white list on
www.dallmeier.com).
•
new HDDs may not be formatted or partitioned.
•
HDDs from other devices may not be used.
• the number of sectors is decisive for the capacity of a HDD, not the usually specified
gross capacity (GB).
The capacity of a new HDD must be the same as the capacity of the replaced HDD (or
larger).
