Installing the HDD 

 

 

Warning

Pay attention to the required earthing of the de-
vice to avoid static discharge. 

1.  Install the HDD (see the separate quick guide). 
2.  Establish the connection to the motherboard using 

the red data cable (small connector). 

3.  Connect the power supply cable (large 5-pin connec-

tor). 

4.  Check that the connections are secure. 
5.  Close the housing. 

 

Note 

Only use HDD’s that are approved for video re-
cording and 24/7 usage. 

 

Establishing the connections 

 

 

Note 

Pay attention to the minimum radius when laying 
cables. Do not kink the cable.
