Information about hard disk located in the main unit and optional exten- sion unit

160GB: Indicates the hard disk capacity (disk existed when last started up)

160GB M: Indicates the hard disk capacity (mirrored disk existed when last started up)

ADD (160GB): Indicates that this hard disk is newly mount- ed at this startup, but that it was not mounted last time. Those parenthesized numbers indicate the capacity of the hard disk.

ADD (ERROR): Indicates that this hard disk is newly mounted at this startup, but that it was not mounted last time. Then, an error is detected on the hard disk.

*(160GB): Indicates that a different hard disk from the one that existed at the last startup is mounted. Those paren- thesized numbers indicate the capacity of the hard disk.

*(ERROR): Indicates that a different hard disk from the one that existed at the last startup is mounted, and an error has been detected on the hard disk.

LOST: Indicates that a position where a hard disk was mounted at the last startup has no hard disk.

–:Indicates that a hard disk is not mounted this time nor was it at the last startup.

ERROR: Indicates that the hard disk has failed to be initial- ized.

Important:

•It is impossible to operate the unit when there is a hard disk with indications of * (capacity), * (ERROR), LOST or ERROR. In this case, remove the relevant hard disk. (Refer to page 151.)

•Hard disks with ADD (capacity) indication are not initial-

ized yet.

First, initialize them. It is impossible to record images on it or to use it as a copy destination without initialization.

Note: The displayed available disk space on this menu will not include the space required for data management. Therefore, the understated available disk space will be displayed.
