How do I install an extra hard drive?
We recommend that you install all extra hard drives before powering
the unit for the first time.
Do not use a powered screwdriver when installing a hard drive.
Power off your recorder, remove it from the rack, and remove the
outer casing.
If you are replacing a hard drive, disconnect its power cable and
SATA cable, unscrew it and remove it.
Place all new hard drives into their slots and screw them in securely.
Connect the power cable and SATA cable.
Important Note
If a hard drive has been initialized in the recorder, you should not
move it to another bay. Once a hard drive has been initialized in a
given bay (this includes the hard drive that comes with the unit), the
recorder remembers that hard drive’s location. If the hard drive is
moved to another bay, this will cause errors, even if you re-initialize
the hard drive in its new bay.
What does the hard drive percentage show?
The hard drive percentage shows how much of the drive has been
filled with data since the last time it started overwriting old footage.
Once a recorder begins overwriting, it does not erase all of the old
data; data remains until it has been overwritten. You may view your
device on OvrC to see that date and time of the oldest recording
available on the hard drive.
How do I clear space on my hard drive?
If you want to ensure you always have space on your hard drive, you
can enable overwriting. When overwriting is enabled, the recorder
erases the oldest files whenever it needs additional space. The
advantage is the hard disk never rejects a recording due to space
restrictions; the disadvantage is that old files eventually get erased,
and you must archive them manually.
Can I format a hard drive through the web interface?
Yes, you can. Go to Configure the Recorder > HDD Management >
Basic Settings .
