Precautions for Use
Points to bear in mind when destroying or
transferring the P2 cards or hard disk drives
Formatting memory cards or hard disk drives
(hereafter "HDDs") or deleting data on them using the
format or delete function on the unit or on a computer
will only change the file management data--it will not
completely delete the data on the memory cards or
HDDs. It is recommended either that the memory
cards or HDDs be physically destroyed or that a data
erasure software program for computers available
on the market be used to completely delete the data
on the memory cards or HDDs. Note that managing
the memory card and HDD data is the owner's
responsibility.

Overview
This unit is a hard disk storage unit specifically designed for P2 cards.
The data recorded on P2 cards can be copied at high speed from the unit's P2 drive onto HDDs.
However, data cannot be written onto the P2 cards.
●Easy to use
●Network ready
Designed to enable all operations from the touch
panel.
A Gigabit Ethernet LAN (hereafter "Gigabit LAN") port
is provided.
●Supports two HDDs
It is now possible to ensure the safety of the data
thanks to mirroring.
This makes it possible to access the data on the
unit's HDDs over a network.

• Charge the battery with the battery charger before
using it. (For details on the charging methods,
refer to the operating instructions concerned.)
• When replacing the battery plate or installing the
V-mount type adapter plate, consult your dealer.
• When installing the battery plate, take care not to
sandwich or pinch the connecting wires.
● Use of external DC power supply
Make sure that the output voltage of the external DC
power supply meets the rated voltage of the unit before
connecting the power supply.
Inrush current occurs when the unit is turned on,
and insufficient power at this time may damage the
unit. Thus, we recommend using an external DC
power supply rated at least 100 W. Use the DC cable
recommended for the external DC power supply.

power supply is accidentally connected to the GND
terminal, this could cause a fire or personal injury.
Use an external DC power supply with a rated
value of 100 W or more.

For better performance
This unit is constructed to allow the HDDs to be
installed on 5-inch bay units, but its design does not
improve the HDD drop resistance or impact resistance
performance. Remember to take extra care when
handling the bay units.
Moving the unit
When moving the unit, protect the front panel with the
front cushion.
Structure of front cushion
• The 5-inch bay units are not packed with the storage
unit. Give due consideration to the applications
for which they will be used, obtain bay units with a
sufficient shock and vibration resistance, and install
them.
Magnet
Shock resistance and vibration resistance
There are cushions on the legs to absorb the vibration.
However, please understand that no guarantee against
damage or failure.
Surface fasteners
(with adhesive tape)
Handling HDDs
The unit is designed for use with typical HDDs
installed. To minimize any risks associated with
HDD damage, loss of data on HDDs, or interrupted
operation, refer to the HDD user manual for
information on installation and use.
• When moving the unit, after setting the rear POWER
switch to OFF be sure to wait until the HDDs stop
rotating (about 2 minutes) before moving the unit to
avoid subjecting the unit to shock or vibration.
(After the unit is turned OFF, HDDs continue spinning
from inertia for a while.)
Installation method
1
Attach the magnetic surface of the front
cushion to the upper area of the unit's front
panel, and decide on where the surface
fasteners will be mounted.
Attaching the magnet
Before moving the storage unit, be absolutely sure to
press the EJECT buttons and set it to in position.
Deciding on where the
surface fasteners will be
mounted.

Peel off the separator of the adhesive tape,
and adhere the cushion to the lower area of
the front panel.

Operation
Recorded data
If P2 cards or HDDs are damaged, data on them will
be lost. Always keep an extra copy of important data
on separate media.
This unit supports mirror (RAID1) operation. Please
consider the worst situation of the operations.
Panasonic is not liable for data lost from P2 card or
HDD failure or other problems, or for other direct or
indirect loss.
1
As shown below, attach the surface fasteners
of the front cushion to the bottom of the front
panel.
Cleaning
Never clean the unit with solvents such as benzene,
thinner, or alcohol.
• Before cleaning, remove the battery or unplug the
unit from the external DC power supply.
• Cleaning the unit with solvents may damage the
external case or cause the paint to peel.
• Use a clean, soft dry cloth to wipe away dust or dirt.
If the unit becomes quite dirty, wipe it with a cloth
dampened in diluted neutral detergent after wringing
the cloth well. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.
• If you use a chemically treated dust cloth, follow the
precautions for use.
2
Lift the front cushion and attach it to the top
of the front panel using the magnet.
Place the front cushion magnet
here to secure the cushion.
Handling the touch panel
Do not press pointed objects, hard metallic objects, or
objects such as pencils or ballpoint pens against the
touch panel. This may damage the screen.
• If there is any oil or other substance adhering to the
surface of the touch panel, it will not be possible to
conduct operations properly.
• To clean the touch panel, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or similar substances.
Before moving the unit, remove the HDDs.
(HDDs may be damaged if the unit is moved with these
drives left in place inside the unit.)

For better performance (continued)
Precautions when connecting the LAN cable
• When connecting the unit to a computer using a LAN
cable, attach the two ferrite cores
(included) on the LAN cable, one
5–10 cm from the computer LAN port
and the other 5–10 cm from the LAN
port on the unit.
Failure to attach ferrite cores could
cause interference with nearby
equipment.
• After attaching the ferrite cores as
shown at right, close them until they click and lock
into place.
• If a ferrite core moves along the cable and cannot
be fixed in place, attach binders on both sides of the
ferrite core to immobilize it.
Cut the binders with scissors to adjust the length.
• Handle ferrite cores with care. Dropping or subjecting
the cores to impact may break them in two.
• Always use a shielded LAN cable.
Use of external DC power supply
Use an external DC power supply rated at 100 W or
more.
Read the DC power supply user manual carefully
before use.
Always use a shielded DC cable.
Battery pack
Use a battery rated at 100 W or more. Read the
battery user manual carefully before use.

Basic operations
Inserting P2 card
When inserting a P2 card into the P2 card slot of the
P2 drive provided in the unit, be absolutely sure to
position the P2 card parallel to the slot and insert it
straight into the drive.
• Forcing cards in the slot at an angle may damage P2
card, P2 Drive or this unit.
• To prevent cards from falling out, protect the unit
from dust, and reduce the risk of exposure to static
electricity, remove P2 cards before moving the unit.
• Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device.

Setting the RAID function
The RAID function must be set when a new HDD has been installed.
RAID1 mode: The same data is written simultaneously onto two HDDs.
The data safety is ensured by data redundancy (mirroring).
When HDDs with different memory sizes are combined, the smaller memory size will be used.
JBOD mode: The data is written onto only the specified HDD.
Use this mode when storing large amounts of data.

was replaced.
• When data could not be written on one HDD
during copying because of reason or other.

A JBOD or RAID1 logical device can be prepared.
Proceed with this when:
• Inserting a new HDD and creating a new logical
