Note
When starting from a clean disk array (after a “Clear Video Disks” from the EVS
maintenance menu), the 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 some disks depending on how much material (clips and record trains) is
stored on the server.
Sound Alert on External Array
When a fan or a power supply unit fails on an external array, a sound alert is given and can
be stopped by pressing the Mute button on the array.
