SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT use the media or media modules near water. Avoid
exposing your media or media modules to moisture. The units
are not waterproof, so contact with water could cause perma-
nent damage to the units as well as electric shock and serious
injury to the user. DO NOT use the media or media modules in
the rain or under other conditions with high moisture without
appropriate protection, and immediately remove power source
if the media or media modules are exposed to moisture.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or elec-
tric shock, do not expose the media or
media modules to rain or moisture.
If fluids or foreign objects get inside any of the media modules
or RED STATIONs, disconnect the power source immediately
and file a support ticket on http://support.red.com.
DO NOT expose your media or media modules to excessive
vibration or impact (shock). Be careful not to drop your media
or media modules. Internal mechanisms may be damaged by
severe shock. Mechanical alignment of elements may be af-
fected by excessive vibration.
Avoid using the media or media modules in areas with high
humidity or dust.
DO NOT expose the media or media modules to strong elec-
tronic or magnetic fields.
Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your media or
media modules, remember that it is not waterproof and mois-
ture can damage electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse
any element of the media or media modules, keep them dry at
all times. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline
cleaners, and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These
substances may damage coatings and electronic circuitry.
The RED STATIONs operate best in an air-conditioned environ-
ment.
DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that pro-
duce heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibra-
tion, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sourc-
es during storage. Recommended storage and usage tempera-
tures for your media and media modules are:
‒Operating range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
‒Storage range: –20°C to 50°C (–4°F to 122°F)
If there are any performance issues with your media or media
modules when operating within this temperature range, please
file a support ticket on https://support.red.com.
The Rear SSD Module, RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module, and
DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE –
meaning you cannot remove or install them while the camera is
turned on. Before installing or removing any of these modules,
you MUST power down the camera. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the module or camera that will not be covered
under warranty.
Protect all power cords from being pinched, walked on or
driven over by a vehicle. Replace any power cords suspected
of sustaining damage due to crushing or other forms physical
damage. Use media and media modules only when they are in
good operating condition.
Always use the original packaging or similarly structured pack-
aging for transportation.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. RED is not responsible for lost data,
corrupted data, or damaged SSDs while using any of the SSD
media modules or RED STATIONs.
CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to
qualified RED service personnel. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, and damage to
the camera or accessories, DO NOT at-
tempt to perform any servicing other than
any procedures that are recommended in
the operating instructions.

MIXING CARBON FIBER AND ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
NOTE: This section is not applicable to WEAPON.
The structural mounting points for the carbon fiber media modules are optimized for the carbon fiber EPIC/
SCARLET, whereas the structural mounting points for the standard aluminum side SSD modules are optimized
for use with the standard aluminum camera.
Using a carbon fiber media module with an aluminum EPIC/SCARLET or using an aluminum side SSD module
with a carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET may lead to an unstable connection between the camera and the module,
which could affect data integrity.
WARNING: Damage to the camera, side SSD module, or other components of the camera system caused by
mixing carbon fiber components with non-carbon-fiber components is not covered under warranty, and may
void the warranty for both the camera and the side SSD module.
SUMMARY OF CARBON FIBER RESTRICTIONS
DO NOT attach any of the following side SSD modules to a carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET:
RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module
DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module
DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module (DRAGON)
DO NOT attach the following side SSD modules to a standard aluminum EPIC/SCARLET:

RED MINI-MAG
The RED MINI-MAG®is the fastest, smallest, and most powerful media option for your camera system.
Compared to their predecessor, the REDMAG®1.8”, RED MINI-MAGs have faster read/write speeds to support
higher frame rates and resolutions with minimal compression. The RED MINI-MAG system is compatible with
EPIC, SCARLET®, and WEAPON®.
The RED MINI-MAG is available in the following storage capacities: 120GB, 240GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
NOTE: If your EPIC/SCARLET is on an earlier firmware than what a RED MINI-MAG requires, you can use a
RED MINI-MAG to upgrade to a compatible firmware. While you can use a RED MINI-MAG to downgrade
firmware versions, the EPIC/SCARLET will not be fully functional with the RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module
installed. You will need to either switch to a DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module or upgrade to a later firmware.
RED MINI-MAG INCLUDED COMPONENTS
The item listed in the table below ships with the RED MINI-MAG.

RED MINI-MAG MODULES
RED®offers the following RED MINI-MAG modules for EPIC/SCARLET:
RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module: Mounts to any standard aluminum camera.
Carbon Fiber RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module: Mounts to any carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET, and is only available
with a carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET.
NOTE: RED MINI-MAG Modules are not compatible with WEAPON.
Each RED MINI-MAG module attaches to the EPIC/SCARLET so that you can mount a RED MINI-MAG to your
camera.
Each RED MINI-MAG module has the same EVF/LCD LEMO connector, user keys, and REC button as the
DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module.
NOTE: The two (2) screws under the SSD slot on the standard aluminum side SSD modules secure an internal
bracket that provides structural support. DO NOT loosen these screws. Loosening these screws DOES NOT
provide extra clearance for the SSD.
WARNING: The red metal heat sink under the SSD slot on the Carbon Fiber RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module
may get hot during long-term operation.
WARNING: The RED MINI-MAG modules are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot remove or install
the modules while the camera is turned on. Before installing or removing the module, you MUST turn off the
camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the module or camera that will not be covered under warranty.

This section describes the connectors for all of the RED MINI-MAG modules.
Each RED MINI-MAG module mounts to the left side of the EPIC/SCARLET. The rear face of this module
features a slot for inserting a RED MINI-MAG.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to insert any media type except for the RED MINI-MAG, or any foreign objects, into
the SSD slot, as that may damage the RED MINI-MAG module or camera system.
The EVF/LCD connector on the front face of the RED MINI-MAG module provides digital video,
communications, and power interconnection between the camera system and a RED EVF or RED LCD.
