Unit Setup
11 Install the hard drive bracket in the recorder unit and secure the bracket with the four screws at
the bottom. The data cable and power cable connections of the hard drives must face the
middle of the recorder.
12 Repeat the above steps for the other hard drives you are replacing, if applicable.
When replacing multiple hard drives, ensure that:
•
The hard drives at the bottom of each bracket (positions 1 and 3) must have the side with
the exposed electronics facing up (the label facing down). The hard drives at the top of the
bracket (positions 2 and 4) must have the side with the exposed electronics facing down
(the label facing up).
•
Install and tighten the two screws on one side of a hard drive before installing and
tightening the two screws on the other side. Use 5.3 in-lbs (inch pounds) of torque.
•
Attach the data and power cables to the hard drives and then to the main PCBA before you
replace the brackets back in the recorder unit. Data cables are numbered to indicate which
hard drive position they are for.
13 When all four hard drives are installed, replace the cover of the recorder unit and secure it with
the three (3) screws. Use 3.0 in-lbs (inch pounds) of torque.
14 If the unit has a docking station (8516 RR), replace the unit in the docking station.
