5.SUPPORTED DEVICES

The following sections will provide information surrounding the various VR-N100U supported devices.

5.1.Hard Disk Drive Specifications

VR-N100U supports onboard RAID to offer data integrity for the captured video. The recommended VR-N100U hard drives should meet the following criteria:

Form Factor

3.5” half-height required

Interface

ATAPI 40-pin ATA/100 or ATA/133

Maximum rpm

7200 or faster preferred

Quickest Seek Times

9ms or faster preferred

Maximum Cache

8MB or higher preferred

Drive Setting

MASTER required

Brand

Maxtor and Seagate preferred, and always use same make/model for the RAID set

NOTE1: In some instances, VR-N100U has been forced to utilize the slower 5400 rpm rated hard drives due to the lack of available drive models supporting the above specifications from the leading drive manufacturers.

NOTE2: VR-N100U has the ability to expand the video storage capacity by utilizing the onboard LVD160 SCSI.

5.1.1. Configuring the Hard Drives

When the hard drives are first recognized by VR-N100U as new storage devices, it will prompt the user to configure the drives. If multiple drives are recognized, the available RAID configuration options will be prompted. Since VR-N100U appliances are normally preconfigured with four (4) of the same make/model recommended hard disk drives, the user does not have to worry about configuring the hard drives. However, if for any reason, one or more drives are not configured, you had to add/remove a device, or delete/recreate the RAID, follow the instructions on the Devices section under the System Administration Utilities page.
