Appendix G: Auto HDD Retry Mechanism
The DVR features Auto HDD Retry mechanism, which is designed to automatically reboot to detect
the installed HDDs when encounter HDD fail error.
Note:
The Auto HDD Retry mechanism will only activate when all of the HDDs installed in the
DVR are failed simultaneously. For example, if your DVR installed one HDD, when one HDD
fails, the Auto HDD Retry mechanism activates; if your DVR installed three HDDs, when all of
the 3 HDDs fail simultaneously, the Auto HDD Retry mechanism activates.
When a HDD fail error occurs, a HDD Failure icon
will be displayed at the bottom of the
monitor and a “
HDD Failed. Please check HDD(s) and SATA/power cables.
” message will pop-up.
Owing to the Auto HDD Retry Mechanism, the DVR will then automatically reboot to detect the
installed HDDs. If there is no HDD detected, the DVR will start rebooting to detect the HDDs again
and again up to 3 times. During the rebooting process, a “
HDD Failed. Rebooting…
” message will
be displayed. Once the HDDs have been detected, the recording function will automatically
resume.
Message

and SATA/power cables.

process exceeds 3 times and the DVR still cannot detect HDDs, an “

recommended to check the SATA and power cables connected to the HDDs; or replace new HDDs
if necessary.
