Summary:

The SolidEDGE camera uses an SSD for the WAVE VMS and storage.  The camera uses a modular design to make installation and maintenance easy.  If the camera module is powered up without the installation base which contains the SSD, the camera will report a drive failure, since it can not communicate with the base.

Step By Step Guide:

If you receive the "Replacement Recommended" message in the Storage menu, perform the following steps.

1. Power off the camera. 
   1. If the camera is powered by PoE+, this can be achieved by unplugging the network cable.  Note that the camera supports power redundancy failover, which allows it to stay powered from a 2nd power source. 
   2. Many network switches allow cycling PoE power to a port.
   3. You can also reboot the camera by selecting the Restart option in the Upgrade/Restart menu of the camera web interface setup menu .
2. Verify that the SSD is recognized and the error message is no longer displayed.
