1.3.3.1.2 Installing or Removing the Hard Drive
Operation of the CTOG-250 requires continual read/write access to the hard drive.
The CTOG-250 is not intended to function for extended periods with the hard drive
removed from operation. Note that only hard drives provided by Comtech EF Data
are recommended for use in the CTOG-250.
The CTOG-250 features a hot-swappable SATA hard drive mounted into a removable drive
carrier (Figure 1-8). Up to eight hard drives may be installed in the CTOG-250 chassis. Depending
on the configured jumper settings, each drive carrier features two operational LEDS – green
indicating normal operational conditions (read/write access), and red to indicate drive failure.
Figure 1-8. Servicing the CTOG-250 Hard Drive
Follow these steps to install or remove the hard drive(s):
