HARD DISK DRIVE INSTALLATION
If you are at all hesitant to perform the following procedure, please refer to qualified service personnel.
Follow these steps to install a HDD:
CAUTION
When working with electrostatic sensitive devices such as a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or DVR unit, make
sure you use a static-free workstation. Any electrostatic energy coming in contact with the hard disk
or DVR can damage it permanently.
1.
Remove the 7 screws (1 each side, 5 rear) which hold the cover in place, then slide it off. With the front
panel facing you, the HDD mounts to the left of the chassis. There are 4 screw holes to mount the HDD.
2.
Align the HDD with the mount points (circled in
red
above) and secure in place using 4 screws (provided)
through the underside of the chassis.
3.
Connect the SATA and POWER cables to the HDD.
CAUTION
SATA and POWER cables are designed to fit only one way. Do not force them into place or you may
damage the HDD.
4.
Replace the cover and secure it in place using the 7 screws removed in step 1.
5.
You must format (prepare) the HDD before it can be used for recording.
See section “
7.7 – HDD Management
” (page 25) for more information.
