3.4.2 Installing Hard Disk Drive
Your HDD should be installed inside the DVR. Please connect the HDD in the standard
way. All necessary cables are delivered with the DVR. Use instructions that came
together with the hard drive for
exact wiring. Please connect the
power cable to the appropriate
socket, and the data cables to their
corresponding connectors.
For the list of HDD drives tested for compatibility please see
Appendix 3
.
Before you can record onto your HDD it should be formatted by the DVR
system, because standard PC formatting is not compatible. It can be done
in the Maintenance Tab of the Tool Bar Main Menu. Please refer to
Section 7.5.3 HDD Manage for the detailed description of this process.
Depending on the size of your HDD, the format process can take several
minutes.
