CODEX TRANSFER STATION FOR MAC OSX - PROCESSING ARRIRAW REV 11.14.12
Loading and Unloading a Capture Drive or Datapack
Capture/Transfer Drive – fully insert the Capture Drive into one of the ports on the Transfer Station. The LED on the Capture Drive will ash
green once it has loaded. To unload press the eject button on the front of the Capture Drive. When the LED is solid blue it is safe to remove the
Capture Drive.
Datapack – the Datapack should nd a natural position when placed on the Transfer Station due to the interlocking design of the loading
mechanism. Ensure that the Datapack is mated at with the Transfer Station before turning the locking lever. Turn the locking lever 180 degrees
clockwise to load the Datapack. When unloading the Datapack turn the locking lever approximately 20 degrees anti-clockwise to the rst
position and wait until the LED on the Datapack becomes solid red. This means it is safe to fully unlock.
WARNING: The LED on a Datapack/Capture Drive ashes green when it is being read or written. Do not unload storage when it is being read
or written, as this can compromise the data integrity.
