2.2.3 Hard Disk Array
The hard disks of the hard disk array are used to store your video and
audio material. Among them you can find the main storage of the R&S
DVS system as well as the system/metadata hard disks. To prevent data
loss in case a hard disk fails, it is normally RAID protected. Further-
more, the system/metadata hard disks are protected with a battery
backup unit to prevent data loss, for example, in case of a power failure.
Once the faceplate is folded down (see section “The Front of the Sys-
tem” on page 2-6), you have access to the hard disk array:

When the faceplate is closed, this contact surface is
connected to a matching interface at the inside of the
faceplate. It provides power to light up the R&S DVS
logo.

power
The power switch turns the system on or off. The re-
spective state of the system will be indicated by the
R&S DVS logo in the middle of the faceplate (see sec-
tion “The Front of the System” on page 2-6) as well
as the power LED.

Resets your system and initiates a warm reboot. Use
a thin, pointed object to press this button.
Resetting the system
When resetting the system without
having saved data, data may get lost.
Save your data before resetting the
system.
10 USB 3.0
port
The USB 3.0 connector (universal serial bus) offers
you the possibility to transfer media, e.g. to a
R&S DVS mobile storage quickly.
Further information about RAID and the location of the main storage
and system/metadata hard disks can be found in section “Introduction
to RAID” on page 5-2. The battery backup unit is described in section
“Battery Backup Unit” on page 2-24.
