Replacing Hard Drives
The LED indicator flashes green, then orange and then off if it is about to fail. After it has failed, the status
indicator flashes orange four times a second. For more information about all the LED status indicators see
Hard Drive RAID Status Indicators
To replace a failed hard drive:
1. Locate the failed hard drive at the front or back of the recorder.
2. Press the release button on the front left of the hard drive.
3. When the handle is released, pull the hard drive out of the recorder.
4. Remove the four screws from the side of the hard drive carrier.
5. Lift the failed hard drive out of the carrier.
6. Insert a new hard drive into the carrier then screw it into place. The hard drive connectors should face
the back.
7. When the hard drive is secured in the carrier, insert the hard drive back into the recorder.
8. Once the hard drive is inserted all the way in, push the handle against the hard drive to lock it into
place.
The hard drive status indicator slowly flashes green, indicating the recorder has started rebuilding the hard
drive. Rebuilding the RAID hard disk array may take several hours. You can verify that the rebuilding has
started and monitor progress using the Server Administrator tool. Contact Technical Support if the rebuilding
process does not start.
