Preparing the Flash Drive

Once you have copied or unzipped the necessary files to your flash 
drive:

Remove the flash drive from your computer. Remember to use 

• 

the “Eject” or “Safely Remove Hardware” option, if available.
Insert the flash drive into the DVR. Use the lower USB port on the 

• 

rear of the DVR (the upper USB port is for the USB mouse).

For reference, the file structure on the USB flash drive should be:

X:\ 
 

dvrupgrade

 

 

AL9008_V100420V100420V100420V100420.SW

Notes:

 

X is the drive letter of your flash drive

• 

The  version  numbers  in  the  filename  are  subject  to  change  as 

• 

new versions of the firmware are released.
There  can  be  other  data  on  your  flash  drive,  so  long  as  the 

• 

“dvrupgrade” folder and the SW file located therein are labeled 
as they should be.
