WARNING:
The procedures contained in this section outline how to install components located

performed by qualified service personnel only.

Do not operate the unit with the cover off.
Replacing a Hard Drive
The following procedure details how to replace a hard drive. This unit must contain four hard drives
for the RAID array (RAID 5 support).
Important:
You must use a brand new hard drive or pre-format a used hard drive to clear any other
data on it. The RAID array will NOT rebuild if the replacement disk already contains data.
Installation Requirements
The following are included in the packaging with the recorder:
•
16 screws, four (4) for each hard drive (used to secure the hard drive to the bracket)
•
four (4) data cables, one for each hard drive (attached to RAID card)
•
four (4) power cables, one for each hard drive (attached to PCBA)
To replace one or more hard drives
1
Turn off the unit using the key and wait for the LEDs to turn off.
2
If the unit has a docking station (RR model), remove the unit from the docking station. If the
unit does not have a docking station (SR model), you do not need to remove the unit from the
backplane, as the screws on the cover of the unit are already accessible.
3
Remove the three (3) screws from the cover of the recorder.
Note:
Set these screws aside - you will use them to re-attach the cover.
