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.

3.4.3.5 HOW TO REPLACE A DISK
Before replacing a disk, ensure that the software application has
disconnected and stopped the disk. In this case, the disk LED is blinking
slowly red with a 4-second cycle.
1. When the disk is stopped, disconnect the canister.
2. Replace the disk in the canister.
3. Put the canister back sliding it to the bottom of the frame.
The LED on the canister should first blink rapidly red with a 3-second
cycle while the disk is being mounted. Then, it should blink green.
