Installing a Hard Drive

1

1.

 The DVR requires either a 3.5” SATA hard drive or a 

2.5” SATA hard drive to record video to. Most brands 

such as Western Digital and Seagate are compatible. We 

recommend an “AV (Audio/Video)” rated hard drive.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws 

on the left and right-hand sides as well as the screw at 

the rear of the DVR. When finished, gently remove the lid.

2.

 There are two cables to connect to your hard drive. One 

cable is for data (SATA) and the other is for power. There 

are mounting holes for a 3.5” hard drive and a 2.5” hard 

drive. Try minimising any contact with the motherboard.

3.

 Place the hard drive as illustrated and connect the data 

and power cable to the relevant connections on the drive. 

Ensure they are firmly connected and that all cables are 

resting on top of the hard drive and not underneath.

4.

 While holding the hard drive, gently turn over the DVR 

and secure the drive in place using the supplied mounting 

screws. You may have to move the hard drive to align the 

screw holes on the drive with the mounts on the case. Use 

a Phillips head screwdriver to fasten each screw. 
When finished, place the lid back onto the DVR and fasten 

the remaining screws.
