2.2. Format Hard Disk
Formatting is required when the format of an installed hard disk cannot be recognised by
the video recording server, most likely a hard disk that has not been used by the video
server. Another purpose of disk formatting is to clean up recording space and redeem the
file allocation.
An unrecognised hard disk will be formatted automatically after TeleEye RX starts up.
Formatting will erase all data inside the disk. Hence make sure that important data has
been backed up before performing this function. Once it is reconstructed, it would be
readable and writable by the video recording server.
User can also perform disk formatting manually. The function can be found in the OSD
menu: [
Main Menu ]  [HDD/Recording]  [ Disk Management ]
Format: Format the selected hard disk
Format All: Format all installed hard disks
