Configuring the PDX208
This concludes the installation of your PDX208. Refer to the Profile Family User
Manual, Using the Profile Disk Utility, for detailed information about configuring the
PDX208 for use with your Profile. Note that there may be differences between
configuring the PDX208 for:
• Use with a PDR200 and use with a PDR100.
• Use with a 4-channel PDR100 and use with a 2-channel PDR100, both of which
require Profile software v2.1 or higher.
In addition, consider the following when configuring your PDX208:
- The disk drives in the PDX208 can be combined with Profile disk drives to form
one dataset.
- If you partition the PDX208 as an external dataset and using third party
software, insure that the software recognizes both internal and external datasets.
- The system recognizes the capacity of video disk drives at the smallest unit. If
connecting the PDX208 to a PDR100 with 4 GB drives, configure the PDX208
as a separate dataset. Making one dataset of Profile 4 GB drives and PDX208 9
GB drives limits PDX208 expansion to 32 GB (8 x 4 GB) instead of 72 GB (8
x 9 GB).
