Dedicated Micros MSU (Managed Storage Unit) The MSU (Managed Storage Unit) has an array of five Hard Disk Drives mounted in a lockable drawer in a neatly styled unit. There are dedicated fans for each disk to provide the optimal, stable operating environment to prolong disk life. Constant monitoring of disk SMART parameters will enable warnings of potential problems; therefore allowing maintenance to be scheduled to prevent potential disk failure. The disks and fans are all field servicable. This manual details the servicing operation. The MSU is available in the following sizes; 5.0 TB MSU (5*1000 GB drives) 3.75 TB MSU (5*750 GB drives) 2.5 TB MSU (5*500 GB drives) 1.25 TB MSU (5*250 GB drives) MSU
Installing the MSU The MSU requires two connections. 1) Use the enclosed cable to connect between SATA sockets on the rear of the DVR and the MSU. If using a different cable to that supplied, it is recomended that it be no longer than one metre. 2) The MSU has an internal power supply unit. Connect the mains lead to the unit and then to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. To be compliant with wiring regulations in some countries; an Alarm/Security device should be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet socket (check local regulations before installation). Installing The Config File on the DVR 1) To successfully link the MSU to the DVR, the MSU Config file must be installed on the DVR. The Config file can be located on the MSU Configuration CD which accompanies the unit. Either: Insert the CD containing the config file (vidcfg.ini) into the CD drive of the DVR and select the software upgrade option via the DVR s Configuration menus. Or: Extract the the vidcfg.ini file and copy into the /etc directory of the DVR via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client software i.e. Core FTP. 2) Reboot the DVR. IMPORTANT: To successfully install the config file, the DVR may require a software upgrade. Please ensure the software versions (or higher) listed below are installed: Note: SD Range Application 4.2 (20.14) DV-IP Server 4.3 (22.0) DV-IP RT 4.3 (22.0) DV-IP HD 4.3 (22.0) DVR software upgrades can be downloaded via the Dedicated Micros website (dedicatedmicros.com).
