Troubleshooting Check the following before requesting repair. Contact a dealer if a problem cannot be solved even after checking and trying the solution or if a problem is not described below, or when having a problem with installations. Problem Check item/Remedy Check if the power plug is properly connected to the AC outlet. Power is not turned on. The error indicator blinks orange. The unit stops because of the thermal error. The extension unit is not recognized.
Problem Check item/Remedy Make sure that the HDD unit is inserted all the way into the HDD slot. The hard disk drive is not recognized. The HDD status indicator does not light. Was another HDD unit inserted to the HDD slot before completing the recognition process of the other HDD unit? Remove the unrecognized HDD unit and insert it after the current recognition process is complete. The hard disk drive is faulty. The HDD unit is not recognized even though the HDD status indicator is lit.
Problem Check item/Remedy The HDD status indicator lights orange and red alternately even when no recording or playback is being performed. Make sure that recovery of data in the RAID 5/RAID 6 mode is not being processed. The power cord insulation is damaged. The power cord, plug and connectors are worn out. This may result in electric shock or a fire. Remove the power plug from the AC outlet immediately, and refer to qualified service personnel. The power cord, plug and connectors get hot during use.
