Unit Number Check

How to check the unit number

Each extension unit is given a unit number depending
on the connected position. Refer to 

Connections of

this manual for the recommended connection form and
the unit numbers given to the respective extension
units. 
Do the following to check which unit numbers are given
to the extension units.

Important

• Do not change the connections of the extension

units after the system has been operated.
Otherwise, the recorder will fail to recognize the
extension units.

1 SAFETY MODE ON

Select ON for HD Safety Mode and press the SET but-
ton.

The recorder will restart and the HDD SAFETY
MODE window will be displayed.

2 Unit number check

• Confirm that the HDD POWER indicators on the

front panel of the extension units have gone out. 

• On the front panel of the recorder, press the

Camera Selection buttons from [1] to [7] in order. 

All the HDD access indicators of the respective
unit will be lit red for 5 seconds. For example,
when the button [1] is pressed, the HDD access
indicators on the extension unit #1 will be lit.

3 SAFETY MODE OFF

Select OFF on the HDD SAFETY MODE window and
press the SET button.

The recorder will restart. After 3 or 5 minutes of
system check, it will run in normal operation
mode.

Note:

The HDD access indicator that is lit red or blink-

ing due to failure of the hard disk in RAID5 will keep
its state while the other indicators of the unit are lit
red to display the unit number.
