3 Hard Disks
3.1 Required Hard Disk Capacity
As there are lots of configuration possibilities, Xtralis has a hard disk space calculator available. You can find
this hard disk space calculator on the CD/DVD provided with your FastTrace 2 video system, or you can
download it from our website www.xtralissecurity.com. Make sure you log on with sufficient download rights.
The calculator is an estimating tool only. Figures are purely indicative. The real requirements of
the hard disk capacity depend on scene content.
3.2 Adding/Replacing a Hard Disk
If you receive error messages from your hard disk in the Status screen of the XOa client, you may need to
replace the faulty hard disk.
If the system is running out of disk space, you can add a new hard disk without removing any of the hard
disks in use. You can install up to 4 hard disks.
When using an Entry system license, you can use only 1 hard disk. For example, with the
ADPRO FastTrace 2 Lite.
It is possible to mount a hard disk coming from another unit into a new unit. If you do this, you
can play back video that has been recorded by the other FastTrace 2 unit.
Take the following restrictions into account:
Make sure that the new unit has the same configuration concerning the number of video
channels as the unit from which the hard disk was taken.
Xtralis recommends to immediately put the number of days recording to 0 (in the Recording
Behaviour screen, Maximum days recording). This prevents overwriting of valuable data.
Clear all recording conditions in the recording behaviour. This prevents overwriting of valuable
data.
Do not mix hard disks from different FastTrace 2 units into one, because this will result in
unpredictable behaviour. Do not add the old disk to the new unit, but replace the disk(s) in the
new unit by the old disk(s).
3.3 Retrieving Hard Disk Information
You can retrieve hard disk information and identify possibly hard disks using the Telnet ta,smart command,
or using the XOa client software.
3.3.1 Using the ta,smart Command
SMART stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. Execute the ta,smart command in a
Telnet session to obtain the SMART information for all hard disks in the FastTrace 2 video system.
