LightSpeed 5.X (80/100kW)
Symptom
Less image space available than normal. See long description for examples. Less image space available than normal, even after removing all exams in Image Works. Example: H3 or GOC1 console should have 20,000 (512 images) available on a clean system with an Octane cpu with two 9 GB disk drives. But with the replacement of the 9GB drives with 18 and 73GB drives, image space may increase up to 130,000 (512 images) depending on software. Example: GOC2 console should have 100,000 (512 images) available on a clean system with an HP-8000 cpu with one 18GB disk and one 73GB disk. Example: GOC3 or 4 console should have 200,000 (512 images) available on a clean system with an HP-8200 cpu with one 36GB disk and two 73GB disks. Data above is approximate, but can be used to determine if there is a problem with disk space.
