Installing the Hard Drive
Installing the Hard Drive
The Hard Drive serves the same purpose in a DVR as a video cassette does in a VCR. Please follow the steps
carefully in order to ensure proper installation.
The compartment located on the front panel of the DVR is the removable Cartridge Casing in which you
insert the Hard Drive. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.
1. Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DVR.
• Lift the Handle and pull towards you. The Cartridge Casing will slide out of the DVR.
2. Remove the Cover from the Cartridge Casing
• Un-clip the release latch with the word “OPEN” printed beside it by gently pushing on the latch.
• Slide the cover off to where it locks or catches the stopper and lift the Cartridge Casing to remove it.
