1PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

DVAS Series Digital Video Array is a high speed, fault tolerant RAID subsystem design. It uses a mid-plane design to eliminate the problems associated with cable interconnects. Unlike conventional RAID products, the DVAS Series disk array uses ATA disk drives to store RAID data, rather than high cost SCSI or Fiber Channel disks. Its advanced electronic soft-start technology makes hot-swappable ATA drives very reliable.

2.1Safety Concerns

•Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to static charge. Take precautions to divert any electrostatic charge from your person before and while handling the components with your hands or any tools.

•Before removing Controllers or Power Supplies, ensure that the system is powered down and disconnected from the main socket.

•Ensure correct lifting methods are used when handling the DVAS Series disk array. Special care should be taken when removing the DVAS Series disk array from its packaging and positioning it in the required location.

•When installing DVAS Series disk array as a rack-mounted component, ensure that all fixtures are secure. All bolts and screws should be fully tightened. Failure to comply with this may result in the unit not being fully supported in the rack and could lead to the product dropping out of rack or falling onto other rack components.

•EMC Regulations require that all data and network cables be the shielded type. Special care should be taken to ensure that the network cable is shielded and that the shield is connected at both ends.
