Escient Early Detection Monitoring System (EDMS)
TheVXSeriesVisionMediaServerincludesafeaturecalledEscientEarlyDetec-
tion Monitoring that monitors the condition of Vision’s internal hard drives. In the
unlikely event of a problem with one of its drives, your Vision will notify Escient Tech
Support and your Escient dealer, using it’s Internet connection , therefore it is impor-
tant to make sure Vision always has a working Internet connection.
The Vision VX series contains four identical internal had drives that are congured
inwhatiscalleda“RAID5”conguration.RAID5meansthatdataiswrittenacross
all four drives simultaneously so that you always have an up to date backup should
you encounter a problem with one of them. If Vision encounters a problem with
one of your drives you should not use it any further as you don’t want to risk having
a problem with another drive. If there is a problem with more than one drive, all of
your data could be lost.

nent data loss. Immediate attention is required
