HDD Mirroring Kit
Reference Guide
The HDD Mirroring Kit enables you to store the same data on two hard disks that are set to
the machine. When one of the hard disks malfunctions, the machine automatically accesses
the other hard disk, enabling you to prevent data loss. If you are using the HDD Data
Encryption & Mirroring Kit, you can encrypt the data stored in the hard disks and increase
the security.
To enable this function, the HDD Mirroring Kit and the additional hard disks must be set
to the machine. For information on setting the HDD Mirroring Kit and the hard disks,
contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
Status Indicators
The status indicators indicate the status of the hard disks that are set to the
machine. There are two types of status indicators, as shown below.
•Access Status Indicator (Green)
Indicates the access status of the hard disks.
•Error Indicator (Red)
Indicates the error status of the hard disks.
If the red status indicator of the hard disk is lit, the hard disk may have failed. Contact
your local authorized Canon dealer.
The location of the status indicator may differ, depending on the model you are using.
