Locating a media disk
• Select No . In most cases this is the appropriate answer, given that your work with
the Storage Utility is complete and you are ready to restart into Normal mode.
When you select No the iVDR restarts into Normal mode. There can be a pause
of several seconds before shutdown processes begin.
• You can also select Yes if you have a reason to restart yet remain in Storage
Maintenance mode. When you select Yes the iVDR remains in Storage
Maintenance mode after restart. If you subsequently do a standard Windows
restart, the iVDR still restarts into Storage Maintenance mode.
To reboot into Normal mode you can open and close the Storage Utility, or attempt
to open AppCenter and follow the prompts for rebooting into Normal mode.
Opening the Storage Utility from Storage Maintenance mode
If you previously had the Storage Utility running and then closed it while remaining
in Storage Maintenance mode, you can open the Storage Utility shortcut on the
Windows desktop. You can also restart the iVDR. This will cause the Storage Utility
to open automatically at startup.
Locating a media disk
Use this procedure if you need to identify the location of a particular media disk.
1. If you have not already done so, remove the Front Panel or door and the Fan
module so that you can see the media disks lights. Refer to “Front Panel or door
removal” on page 70 and “Fan module removal” on page 71 .
2. Open the Storage Utility as explained in “Opening and closing the Storage Utility”
on page 58 . The Storage Utility detects disks available to the iVDR and lists them
on the opening screen. The Storage Utility names the disks by whether they are
internal to the iVDR or in an external device and by the number of the slot in which
they are installed.
3. Select the disk that you want to locate.
4. Select Identify . A message appears to notify you of the flashing light.
5. Locate the flashing light to identify the disk.
Viewing the properties of a media disk
Use this procedure if you need to view the properties of a particular media disk.
1. Open the Storage Utility as explained in “Opening and closing the Storage Utility”
on page 58 .
2. Select the disk for which you want to view properties. The properties appear in the
Storage utility window.
Making a media file system
