HARD DISK DRIVE
CHAPTER 7
Your NVR uses a standard computer A/V-rated SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk
drive and will support up to a 3TB (terabytes) drive. These drives are the current industry standard and may
be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your NVR, it may
come with a pre-installed drive. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the
future so this NVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.
It should be noted that while this and the battery are the only user-serviceable parts within the case, and
you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid
damage to the other components within the case.
7.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static
discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are
largely the same:
STEP 1
. Disconnect the NVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The NVR
MUST
be unplugged from all power sources as well
as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the NVR or its components as well as
injury or death.
