1.8.1Front Control Panel
The front control panel contains the seven control areas, as shown in the illustration below and described in this section:
•Power Switch and Power LED
This is the FS-2/2E's main power switch. This switch, although mechanical, is controlled using software. When the power switch is set to ON and then OFF, in most cases the unit takes a moment to power down. During this time, the FS-2/2E is ensuring that any files that have not been closed properly in a record session get closed. This prevents errors occurring on particular files. The green LED above the power switch is ON when the unit is powered up.
•Disk Drive Bay
The disk drive bay accepts a standard 3 1/2” removable disk drive in the supplied sled. Minimum system requirements for this drive are 7200RPM with a 2MB cache. Drive performance may vary. Focus Enhancements recommends that you use a FS-2/2E qualified and tested disk drive. Check the Focus Enhancements website for an updated list. This bay is not intended for hot swap operation.
•Edit / Utility / Input Keys
These keys contain the edit, utility and input select functions for the FS-2/2E. In some cases, these buttons work in conjunction with the FS-2/2E menus on the display.
