Replacing  a  Solid  State  Drive  

 
Solid  state  drives  were  chosen  for  the  CMS-­‐2200  specifically  because  of  their  long  term  reliability.    It  is  
expected  that  over  a  10  year  product  life  that  no  solid  state  drives  will  fail,  however  the  drives  are  field  
swappable  in  the  unlikely  event  that  a  drive  needs  to  be  replaced.    An  online  video  demonstrating  drive  
replacement  can  be  found  on  the  CMS-­‐2200  product  page  on  the  company  web  site.  

The  SMS  software  will  indicate  a  failed  drive  for  a  CMS-­‐2200  on  the  system  screen.    It  is  important  to  
replace  the  correct  failed  drive  to  maintain  the  integrity  of  the  raid  storage.    It  is  also  critical  that  the  
replacement  drive  from  USL  matches  the  firmware  and  specifications  of  the  existing  solid  state  drives.    
USL  maintains  a  record  of  all  drives  shipped  with  its  CMS-­‐2200  products.

The  CMS-­‐2200  can  now  be  reinstalled  in  the  projector.    The  new  drive  will  automatically  be  integrated  
into  the  raid  array.      This  process  can  take  several  hours  to  complete.    USL  recommends  leaving  the  
system  turned  on  for  two  hours  to  ensure  the  process  is  complete  and  the  drive  is  fully  integrated  into  
the  raid  system.  The  system  may  be  turned  off  at  any  time  before  completion,  it  will  simply  take  longer  
for  the  raid  integration  process  to  complete.    The  CMS-­‐2200  is  fully  functional  and  ready  to  ingest  
content  and  stream  movies  while  the  raid  integration  is  proceeding.    The  process  will  run  entirely  and  
transparently  in  the  background.
