iTX Ingest Appliance
Installation & Quick Start Guide
SATA hard drives
The front panel of the iTX Ingest Appliance provides access to the eight hot-swap RAID 10
hard drives, which provide up to 2TB of media storage.
Each SATA drive carrier has two small LEDs: one green and one red.
• Green: When illuminated, this green LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the
SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being
accessed.
• Red: When illuminated, the red LED indicates the failure of that SATA drive. If a drive
fails, you should be notified by your system management software.
Use the Intel Rapid Storage Technology ( RST) software to manage and monitor the RAID arrays
on the iTX Ingest Appliance. See Managing the RAID arrays on the iTX Ingest Appliance , on
page 18 for more information.
