Appendix H: Replacing the Hard Drive
Replacing the Hard Drive
To replace the hard disk:
1. Carefully position the new hard drive on the mounting
plate—the raised contour of the mounting plate should
be facing up (see figure 34.1)—and secure with the
four screws.
2. Place the mounting plate (with attached hard disk) on
the four mounting posts of the circuit board. Observe
that the mounting plate has an inset to allow for correct
placement on the circuit board (see figure 34.2).
3. Secure the mounting plate (with attached hard disk) to
the four mounting post with the four screws.
4. Reconnect the cables to the hard disk. Make sure the
cables are connected firmly.
5. Carefully replace the housing and reattach the four
screws—housing and screws holes should line up.
6. Reconnect all cameras and cables. Re-mount the unit
the back of your monitor if desired.
7. Power on the system. If you have installed a new hard
disk, you must format the hard disk before using the
system.
