HDD information
You can check the status of any of the installed HDDs on the recorder at any time.
To check the status of a HDD:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
Storage Management
>
HDD Information.
2. Note the status of the HDDs listed under the Status column.
If the status is listed as Normal or Sleeping, the HDD is in working order. If it is listed
as Abnormal and has already been initialized, the HDD needs to be replaced. If the
HDD is Uninitialized, you need to initialize it before it can be used in the recorder.
Refer to “Initializing HDDs” above for more information.
Note
: The status information is also shown in the
System Information > HDD
window.
