Introduction

How to Use the BX2 Continuous Archive

The following will describe how the BX2 Continuous Archive unit operates, installation and removing the drives

and the LED functions that will describe the process of the ‘mirror’ functionality supported on the BX2.

The standard installation and conﬁguration of the BX2 Continuous Archive unit is as described in the BX2

Manual MI-I-BX2D/E1-0.

There are four removable drives in the BX2 Continuous Archive unit which can be accessed from the front

panel. The drives are separated into two Primary and two Mirror drives.

Unpacking

The BX2 Continuous Archive unit will be supplied with the necessary Primary and Mirror drives seperately to the

unit.

These drives are labelled as C Primary and Mirror and E Primary and Mirror. Leave these labels in place to

ensure the drives are always placed back into the correct locations.

Looking from the front of the BX2 Continuous Archive unit the C Primary and Mirror drives are to left of the unit,

the other drives are the E Primary and Mirror drive. (See diagram below).

Warning: The drives must be ﬁtted in the correct bays, if they are placed in the wrong bay then the

system will overwrite the discs and the unit will not boot up.

BX2 Continuous Archive Operation

Under normal operation the BX2 Continuous Archive will function as described below:

The BX2 Continuous Archive will write to both the Primary and Mirror drives, the read operation (review) is from

the Primary drive. Mirror drives can be exchanged safely. The Primary drives should not be swapped.

If for any reason the BX2 Continuous Archive is unable to write to the Primary drive, the unit will assume that the

drive is faulty and will switch the write process to the Mirror drive, which can then be changed.

If a new Mirror drive is introduced (e.g. original drive is removed for archiving) then the mirroring process will be

activated, this ‘mirrors’ the video images stored on the Primary drive to the new Mirror drive.

Continuous Archive

Note: All video ﬁles held on the Primary drive will be mirrored onto the new Mirror drive; this

includes the ﬁles already on the drive that has been removed. This offers redundancy for

these ﬁles.

To Access the Removable Caddies

The front panel of the BX2 has a latched door that will allow you to gain access to the removable caddies.

Release the door by gently pressing in until you here the release ‘click’, lower the door. You will see the

removable drives; each one is locked in place and can be released using the keys provided.

The drives are separated into two sections with a Primary drive and Mirror drive in each section.

Archive Procedure

When the Primary discs are full or the recorded video needs to be archived, the normal procedure would be to

remove both the Mirror discs. The record rate and the image size of the recorded ﬁles would dictate how often

this would be required. The table below relates time period, ﬁle size and pictures per second.

600GB

168 Hrs 14KB 69pps

7 Days 18KB 53pps

25KB 38pps

336 Hrs 14KB 34pps

14 Days 18KB 26pps

25KB 19pps

744 Hrs 14KB 15pps

31 Days 18KB 12pps

25KB 8pps

62 Days 14KB 7pps

(8 weeks) 18KB 6pps

25KB 4pps

Example:

To be able to record for 8 weeks, the default settings of 18KB ﬁle size, with 6pps would be necessary.

These ﬁgures would change when MultiMode recording is used. Different conditions would result in a variety of

ﬁle sizes and recording rates. Therefore these ﬁgures should be used as a rough guide.

To archive the Mirror drive;

1. Set the Mirror device key to Off

2. Remove the Mirror drive and store in a suitable Archive location

3. Replace with a blank Mirror disc

4. Turn the Mirror device key. The BX2 unit will start mirroring the existing data on the Primary disc to

the mirror device as soon as the device is locked in place.

Note: Within 24 hours the unit will be fully synchronised.

The BX2 Continuous Archive unit will continue to record during this process and no images will be lost, you will

be able to identify the mirroring process from the LEDs on the chassis for the removable caddies (refer to LED

section below).

Calculating When to Change the Mirror Discs

There is an alternative to changing the Mirror discs at set intervals. Using the GOTO menu could allow the

Administrator to view information on the BX2 and calculate if the disc is almost full.

1. For the initial change of disc use the recommended information on when to change the disc.

2. Make a note of the time and date the discs were replaced.

3. Allow the Mirror process to commence. After a period of time (this is dependant on the number of

alarms on the system but for example could be one week), review the information on the GOTO

menu, to access the menu press and hold GOTO key.

4. With the time and date when the Mirror disc were replaced review the information in the ‘Earliest

recording’ section. This identiﬁes the date of the ﬁrst recorded ﬁle on the discs, as this date moves

closer to the time and date the discs were replaced it can be used as a gauge for when the discs

would require changing again.

Note: When using this process it is not possible to protect the images.

Removing the Primary Disk

The normal archiving procedure involves exchanging Mirror drive.

In the event of a Primary drive failure, this replacement procedure must be strictly adhered to:

Note: The discs used in both the Primary and Mirror drives MUST be the same size.

1. Ensure the BX2 is in full mirrored state (This can be veriﬁed by a green LED on the removable

caddy chassis - refer to How to Interpret the LED Status).

2. Unlock the Primary disc and remove the drive. The BX2 Continuous Archive will switch over and

treat the Mirror disk as the ‘Primary’ drive.

3. Replace the Primary drive with a new, blank drive.

4. Insert the Primary drive and turn the key to lock.

5. Press the Buzzer button once

6. The mirroring process will automatically occur. All data from the Mirror drive will be copied to the

Primary drive. Once this is complete, normal mirroring is resumed.

How to Interpret the LED Status

The installation, operation and conﬁguration of the BX2 Continuous Archive is the same as detailed in the main

manual, however the following details the information on the LED status information for the removable caddies.

There are three LEDs on each disc drive chassis, each of these LEDs has a state which can identify the status

of the device and can be used for troubleshooting.

Note: If any LED status occurs other than what is detailed below contact Dedicated Micros

Technical Support.

Primary LED

The left most LED is labelled PRIMARY and represents the disc in the ‘Primary’ (bottom) position.

Red LED - The Primary Disc is missing or The Primary Disc has failed

Flashing Green LED - The device is attempting to identify the disc

Green LED - Disc is working ﬁne

Yellow / Orange LED - The disc is Okay and is being accessed

Mirror LED

The middle LED is labelled MIRROR and represents the disc in the ‘mirror’ (top) position.

Red LED - The Mirror Disc is missing or The Primary Disc has failed

Flashing Green LED - The device is attempting to identify the disc

Green LED - Disc is working ﬁne

Yellow / Orange LED - The disc is Okay and is being accessed

Status LED

The third LED is labelled STATUS and is the main status LED for the unit.

Red LED - The unit is in an unserviceable state

Continuous Archive

Green LED - The unit is working ﬁne. i.e. data is being written to both the ‘Primary’ and

‘mirror’ discs simultaneously.

Note: It is recommended that the disc from the ‘mirror’ slot is not removed unless the unit shows a

solid green status LED.

Flashing Red LED - Mirroring in progress

i.e. data is being copied from the Primary disc to the Mirror disc, when in this state both

the Primary and Mirror LEDs will ﬂash yellow and green rapidly.

Playback Process

The Mirror drive of the BX2 Continuous Archive unit can be removed from the unit and placed in a playback

device (available from Dedicated Micros) for off line review of the recorded images.
