Installing Hard Drives
Your Luma recorder comes with a hard drive already installed, but
you can add additional hard drives (and/or replace the existing one)
to expand your recording capability.
Since these drives run 24/7, we recommend using hard drives that
are rated for surveillance, like Western Digital’s Purple drives, which
we sell on our website as a convenience to our valued installers.
Warning! Do not use a powered screwdriver when installing or
removing a hard drive. Doing so may result in damage to the
equipment, which is not covered by your warranty.
Warning! Use a grounded anti-static mat and wrist band to ground
yourself before servicing the recorder. Failure to ground yourself
may result in damage to the equipment, which is not covered by
your warranty.

8-channel and 16-channel recorders also have an eSATA port on the
back that can attach an additional hard drive.
Important Note
We recommend installing the drives before powering the recorder up
for the first time. If a hard drive has been initialized in the recorder,
you should not change its SATA port. Once a hard drive has been
initialized in a given port (this includes the hard drive that comes
with the unit), the recorder remembers that hard drive’s location. If
the hard drive cabling is swapped this will cause errors, even if you
re-initialize the hard drive in its new location.
