2.2 Changing and inserting the removable disk
In TO3100 devices use only the hard disks provided and pre-formated by DResearch. Only hard
disks with the same capacity should be used within each fleet. For more information and for
ordering hard disks please contact the sales team (E-Mail: sales@dresearch.de).
Use only original hard disks from the manufacturer!
Otherwise all existing warranties and guarantees are invalidated.
To prevent any manipulation of the data, the hard disk is adopted by the device. This process happens
when the device starts up with the hard disk for the first time. Only after this can recording start. To
prepare the device for recording for the first time proceed as follows:
� Switch the device off and wait until all the LEDs have gone out
(by unlocking the HD lock) – this takes several seconds
� Without using physical force carefully insert a formatted (!) removable hard disk (label upwards)
in the carrier guides.
� Lock the HD lock again - the system will start again.
� The hard disk capacity will be automatically allocated to the camera archives by the software. No
further intervention is necessary.
� The device carries out an automatic restart of the system.
The TO recorder series’ removable disk
Please ask your system integrator or the
manufacturer about the sizes and models
currently available. (For older device models the
disks are integrated in metal cages.)
Only remove the hard disk when all the LEDs on the front of the device are off! Removing the
hard disk before the LEDs go out results in damage to the device. All warranties and
guarantees are thereby invalidated!
When opening the door the device will be switched off automatically for security reasons.
� If the capacity of the new hard disk is lower than defined in the current device configuration, the
hard disk will not be accepted. Reduce the size of the existing archives BEFORE changing the
hard disk.
If an unknown storage drive is used with the system it will generally formatted at startup after a
period of 60 seconds. If a cancellation of data to be desired, the system can be switched off in
order to prevent the formatting process. Swapping storage drives between systems TO3100 and
MR systems is possible in principle - here, the media must, however, have the same capacity.
CAUTION: The use of other media with a smaller capacity than the previous disc is not supported!
For example: When it has been used a 160 GB disk, so no disk can then be used with a capacity of
80 GB. By using higher-capacity disks archives in the system must be adjusted
(CMS::System Management database ���� drives).
