POWER switch or HDD POWER switch is
turned off.
ERROR indicator lights orange.
Thermal error stops the unit.
Cooling fan(s) may be faulty.
Ambient temperature exceeds the operable
range.
Ventilation may be blocked.
ERROR indicator lights red.
System fault
Extension unit or added HDD is
not recognized.
Connection cables other than supplied may be
used.
Insufficient connector junction
Powering up the recorder and units in opposite
order
The recorder and units are connected to differ-
ent AC mains
HDD installation position is wrong.
MODE switch setting
HDD access indicator alternately
blinks orange and red or blinks
green though no recording/play-
back.
Data recovery fails after replac-
ing the HDDs in the RAID 5
mode.
In recovery process of RAID5
Automatic periodic (every 5 seconds) data
check in RAID5
The HDD to be recovered may be faulty.
Size of the new HDD
may be smaller than
before although nominally same.
The HDDs have not been replaced correctly.
The cables are not connected correctly to the
HDDs.
HDD access indicator light/blink
red.
Disk drive is faulty in RAID5 mode.
The steady light means it is the first faulty drive,
the blinking light means it is one of the later
ones.
