Chapter 3 Disk-related configuration checks

This chapter describes the checks on the disk-related settings which are conducted on the startup screen of Windows NT, the operating system used by the unit, and the inspections conducted on the AV disks to verify whether they can be used by this system.

The inspections described in this chapter are conducted after the Windows NT startup screen appears normally after the power to all the units and devices has been turned on.

For details on the checks and inspections conducted prior to the appearance of the Windows NT startup screen, refer to Chapters 1 and 2 of this manual.

3-1. Checking the disk settings

The checks in this section are performed after the series of checks described in the previous chapter have been completed with no errors found.

When the sequence of power startup steps is completed and the waiting-to- log-on dialog box has appeared on the screen, follow the instructions in the box and complete the logging on procedure for Windows NT.

On the startup window after Windows NT log-on, check the disk settings in this section using the Disk Administrator which is a Windows NT management tool.

Before starting the actual procedure, you will find it easier to perform the checks if you quickly glance through items C-1–C-3 (pages 45, 46) of Appendix C how to use Disk Administrator provided with Windows NT and understand how the settings of the parts corresponding to the items to be checked in this section are displayed.

If items with wrong settings have been detected as a result of conducting the checks, refer to the explanations with the ¬ marks in the sections concerned in Appendix C and to the “Troubleshooting” section in the Operating Instructions. (Refer to pages 20–27 of Operating Instructions.)
