Appendix A: Replacing the Operating System Drive

The GW5000 uses a compact flash drive for the unit operating system. In addition to greater reliability, this drive can be easily replaced if a failure occurs.

NOTES:

You must shut down the unit to replace the operating system drive.

The unit uses a hex button socket security screw to prevent tampering. This procedure requires the enclosed operating system drive security tool.

Contact Pelco for the new operating system drive.

To replace the operating system drive (refer to Figure 36):

1.Shut down the GW5000 (refer to Unit Shutdown on page 19).

2.Use the security tool to disengage the drive latch on the front panel. The latch is spring loaded and pops out about 0.25 inches (6 mm). The security screw is attached to the latch and cannot be removed.

3.Gently pull the latch away from the front panel. The drive disengages from its slot.

4.Remove the drive from the unit.

5.Orient the new drive and insert it into the slot.

6.Use the security tool to engage and tighten the latch on the front panel.

7.Turn on the GW5000 (refer to Unit Startup on page 19).
