INSTALLING THE ESM AND CONVERTING TO NTFS
1. Plug the ESM into an open FireWire port and turn on the power to the ESM.
2. On the Intellex unit you will see several windows appear, each representing a new
drive in the ESM. Close each of these windows.
3. Double-click on My Computer, the four new drives will appear, each labeled
“Local Disk” with the drive letter in parentheses.
4. For each new drive right-click on the icon for the drive and select Properties.
5. In the Label box for each drive, enter a new label to identify the drive, and click
OK (e.g., ESM1a, ESM1b, numbers to denote the ESM module and a letter to
denote each drive in the ESM). This helps to identify each drive’s physical location
when connecting multiple ESMs to an Intellex unit.
6. Close the My Computer window.
7. Click Start, select Run, and type “cmd” in the Open field and click OK.
8. At the C: prompt type the command “convert [Drive Letter]: /fs:ntfs”.
9. The system may prompt you for the volume label of the drive you are converting;
if so, type in the label that you assigned to the drive in step 5.
10. Information will display on the screen while the drive is being converted. This
process will take a few minutes (the larger the drives in the ESM, the more time the
conversion takes). When you see the message “Conversion Complete“, the process
is finished.
NOTE: This conversion task must be executed on every drive in the ESM.
NOTE: When you add a new storage volume (like an ESM) to the Intellex, this
additional recording capacity is placed at the beginning of the database. This
means that the extra storage capacity is not included until the database size is
recalculated. If you are in Linear recording mode, any added volume(s) will
not be used to record video until the database is full and you are prompted to
click the Begin Record button.
NOTE: To remove an ESM from your Intellex unit, first exit the Intellex application to
the Windows Desktop. Then click on the Remove/Eject icon on the Taskbar
to disconnect the 1394/FireWire device. Wait for the message that it is safe to
remove the device, then disconnect the 1394/FireWire cable from the Intellex
unit. When you restart Intellex, you will be warned that the storage volumes
are missing. Now use the Storage Setup screen to remove the storage
volumes from the Intellex database.
