RAID Initialization
If the installed hard drives are new or if the RAID mode has been changed, RAID initialization must be performed.
•
When initializing RAID, all data on the hard drives will be deleted.
•
Disconnect the unit from the NVR before initializing RAID. Initializing RAID while the unit is connected to the NVR
may cause the NVR to reboot.
The LED indicators on the front panel will indicate the RAID mode and status of hard drives. If a hard drive error
has occurred, LED will blink sequentially in green and red. In such case, you must replace the hard drive and before
proceeding with RAID rebuilding.

Turn the unit ON by plugging the power cable into the unit’s power connector on the rear panel.
If any hard drive is not installed properly, the LEDs of corresponding hard drives will not be lit.

Configure the RAID mode using the RAID option switches on the rear panel.

Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Setup button on the front panel for 3 seconds. An audio
warning will sound 3 seconds later. Keep holding the button to initialize RAID.
Releasing the button when audio warning sounds will cancel the initialization.

D1 to D4 LEDs will be lit green and the power LED will blink in 1 second intervals. Now, release the Setup button.
