Note on Disk LEDs Activity
When starting from a clean disk array (after a “Clear Video Disks” from
the EVS maintenance menu), the XT[2] server is recording first on
RAID #0 until this one is full, then on RAID #1 and finally on RAID #2.
It is therefore normal to see activity only on 5, 10 or 15 disks
depending on how much material (clips and record trains) is stored on
the server.
