2.2. Starting The DVR
After installing the hard disk, set the DIP switch to the NTSC or PAL position to match your equipment and
select the correct power voltage(located at the rear panel) of your region before turning on the power of the
DVR. Then connect the power cord to start the DVR.
When starting the DVR for the first time, formatting of the hard disk will commence automatically and the
DVR will initialize as follows.
The DVR will perform “S.M.A.R.T.” check of the installed hard disks.
- The first Line indicates the version of the DVR software.
- The second line indicates the MAC address.
- The third line indicates the hard disk information(Model name, whether or not it is formatted(FAT32 or
NOT FAT32), HDD capacity, and S.M.A.R.T. check result.
If no problems are detected [S.M.A.R.T. PASS] will be indicated and if problem is detected [S.M.A.R.T.
FAILURE] will be indicated and a warning will appear on the monitoring screen every 1 minute for a
duration of 5 seconds.
The hard disk capacity indicated may be smaller than the capacity declared by the hard disk producer. This
difference may occur due to the difference in measure units and therefore is not a defect.
If the hard disk detected has not been formatted, recording will start after automatic formatting is
completed.

S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology)
S.M.A.R.T. is a reliability prediction technology to anticipate the failure of a hard disk drive with
sufficient notice to allow a system or user to back up data prior to a drive’s failure.
If the controller detects problems in the disk drive reliability, it will release a warning to the user.
In such a case, the use of the disk drive should be stopped immediately and have it examined.
