SECTION 11
Managing HDDs (without RAID)
NVR storage (HDDs) is highly configurable. You can simply save data to the internal HDD(s) in the chassis, or add network based NAS
or IP SAN devices to the system and save recordings and other data there. You can also define where data for each camera or groups
of cameras is saved, and have 16 different storage groups. Before an HDD is used by the NVR, it must be initialized by the recorder.
Preconfigured HDD(s) are already initialized.
If you add an internal HDD to the recorder, or replace an HDD in the recorder, it must be initialized before it can be used. See “11.1
Initializing HDDs” on page 194 for more information.
The recorder can also be used in RAID mode. To configure the storage system for RAID, see “SECTION 12 RAID Arrays” on page 206.
11.1 Initializing HDDs
An HDD must be initialized before it can be used by the recorder to store data. Pre-installed HDDs are initialized by your vendor.
Check the status of the HDD installed in the NVR to assure it is functioning normally.
1. Open the HDD Information display. Go to
Menu | HDD | General
. The HDD shown here represents the capacity of the RAID
storage array.
2. If you installed a new HDD in your NVR chassis, select the HDD in the window then click
Init
to initialize it for use. Allow the
initialization procedure to complete before continuing.
