18GB Disk Drive Upgrade
Introduction
This upgrade adds three internal 18GB disk drives to the Profile system. You can
use this upgrade to add additional disk drives to your existing complement of
18GB or 9GB disk drives.
When installing this upgrade in systems with 9GB disk drives, the 18GB disk drive
capacity is limited to 9GB because the Profile system limits the usable disk space
of the larger drives to the size of the smallest drives in the file system.
This manual assumes that you are adding three internal 18GB disk drives either to
a Profile system with only a Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board or a
Profile system with both Master and Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder boards. If you
are adding the Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board, you need to install it
before you perform this upgrade.
If you ordered two 18GB upgrade kits, you can install all the drives you received
using this manual.
NOTE: Before performing this upgrade, be sure to back up any material you
want to save. Creating the disk file system destroys all material on the hard
disk drives.
System Requirements
The 18GB disk drive upgrade requires 2.2.X Profile system software version 2.2.4
or above, or any Profile System software above version 2.4.4. To check the
software version installed in your Profile system, open the VrdPanel application
and choose
