Once your M.2 SSD is formatted, you will not need to format it again unless you remove the
SSD and install a different one, such as one with a higher capacity. If the internal M.2 SSD is set
to the 'network storage' function you can format at anytime using the format media window. It's
worth noting this will delete any record cache files not yet transferred to other media. For more
information on formatting drives refer to 'Preparing Media For Recording' earlier in this manual.
Using the M.2 SSD as Network Storage
Once you've selected the 'network storage' function you need to set it as the active media.
1
On the home screen tap on the storage icons in the lower toolbar to open the storage
media window. The M.2 SSD shares the second media slot with USB drives and external
network storage.
2
Tap on the heading of the second media slot to display the media 2 drive list.
3
Tap the M.2 SSD under the internal options to highlight it and tap 'use drive'.
4
Tap exit to return to the home screen.
Now the second storage icon in the lower toolbar will display the status for the M.2 SSD. More
information about what is displayed is detailed in the 'storage indicators' section earlier in
this manual.
