(ManagedStorageUnit)

The MSU (Managed Storage Unit) has an array of ve Hard Disk Drives mounted in a lockable

drawer in a neatly styled unit. There are dedicated fans for each disk to provide the optimal, stable

operating environment to prolong disk life. Constant monitoring of disk SMART parameters will

enable warnings of potential problems; therefore allowing maintenance to be scheduled to prevent

potential disk failure.

The disks and fans are all eld servicable. This manual details the servicing operation.

The MSU is available in the following sizes;

• 5.0 TB MSU (5*1000 GB drives)

• 3.75 TB MSU (5*750 GB drives)

• 2.5 TB MSU (5*500 GB drives)

• 1.25 TB MSU (5*250 GB drives)

InstallingtheMSU

The MSU requires two connections.

1) Use the enclosed cable to connect between SATA sockets on the rear of the DVR

and the MSU. If using a different cable to that supplied, it is recomended that it be

no longer than one metre.

2) The MSU has an internal power supply unit. Connect the mains lead to the unit and

then to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. To be compliant with wiring

regulations in some countries; an Alarm/Security device should be connected to a

fused spur and not a wall outlet socket (check local regulations before installation).).

Installing The Cong File on the DVR

1) To successfully link the MSU to the DVR, the MSU Cong le must be installed

on the DVR. The Cong le can be located on the MSU Conguration CD which

accompanies the unit.

Either:

Insert the CD containing the cong le (vidcfg.ini) into the CD drive of the DVR and

select the software upgrade option via the DVR’s Conguration menus.

Or:

Extract the the vidcfg.ini le and copy into the /etc directory of the DVR via FTP

(File Transfer Protocol) client software i.e. Core FTP.

2) Reboot the DVR.

IMPORTANT: To successfully install the cong le, the DVR may require a software upgrade.

Please ensure the software versions (or higher) listed below are installed:

SD Range Application 4.2 (20.14)

DV-IP Server 4.3 (22.0)

DV-IP RT 4.3 (22.0)
