COLDSTORE Compact Quick Start Guide 

  

Correct time-sync is essential for correct operation, depending upon the application.  It is 

strongly recommended that a master NTP time server system be used on the network.  
Veracity’s TIMENET is an ideal device for this – see : 
 

http://veracityglobal.com/products/networked-video-integration-devices/timenet.aspx 

 
for full details.

 

 
Once the settings have been entered, click on Update to store the settings on COLDSTORE 
Compact.  For full details on how to use COLDSTORE Manager, see the online help file or the 
COLDSTORE Compact User’s Guide. 
 
 
 

M)  Disk Management – Adding & Removing Disks

 

 

Further disks may be added to the array at any time, and these may be added with the system 
either on or off.  The new disks will be incorporated into the array automatically.  No disk 
configuration is required.  Simply slide the disk & holder into the first empty drive slot and push 
home, ensuring the holder is fully inserted and that upper tab clicks into place in the drive guide. 
 
Removal of disks requires a simple, yet specific, procedure using COLDSTORE Manager.  Please 
refer to the COLDSTORE Compact User’s Guide. 
 

  

To remove a disk from the array, follow the proper procedure as described in the 

COLDSTORE Compact User’s Guide.  Specifically, do not remove disks when COLDSTORE is 
switched off.  Failure to follow proper procedure will not result in data loss, but disks removed in 
this way will require some manual intervention before they will be readable in DISKPLAY or other 
USB docking station.

 

 
 

N)  Powering Off

 

 

Use COLDSTORE Manager to shut down the system before removing the power connector.  In 
COLDSTORE Manager, select the COLDSTORE you wish to shut down, go to the Diagnostics tab, 
and then click on the SHUT DOWN button at the bottom of the screen.  You will be asked to 
confirm. 
 
The Compact unit will then go through a shutting-down procedure, writing any remaining data to 
disk.  When the shutdown process is completed, all the amber LEDs will illuminate simultaneously.  
At this point the power jack may be disconnected or power switched off at the wall. 
 

 

Do not remove the power jack or switch off at the wall socket before completing the 

shutdown procedure via COLDSTORE Manager.  This ensures that all files are correctly closed. 

 

 
 
 
 

O)  Troubleshooting 

 

No power 

The blue LED on the side panel above the power jack will illuminate when power is present. If this is 
not on, check that the power jack is correctly plugged in and that there is power coming into the in-
line PSU.  Check the power cable is fully inserted into the PSU.  Check that the wall socket is live by 
plugging another device into it.
