-based recorders. Although XFS is superior,
fragmentation can build up over prolonged periods of active use. To compensate, the software incorporates defragmentation routines that run in
the background. These routines mitigate the performance degradation and the potential for corruption that result from fragmentation errors.
The NSM5200 incorporates a number of diagnostic monitoring functions that serve vital roles in notifying operators of potential problems and
failures. Integrated diagnostics utilize on-board LED indicators to display warnings and failures on NSM5200 and DAS5200 units and reports
these failures to operators on Endura workstations and virtual console displays. The NSM5200 monitors and provides warning messages for
items such as retention time issues, accumulation of software errors, network errors that result in packet loss, and changes to network link
speeds. It also monitors and reports hardware diagnostics such as temperatures approaching established thresholds, hard disk drive failures, fan
failures, power supply failures, or when a camera or a NSM5200 is off line. Finally, the NSM5200 can communicate to an APC Smart-UPS
