Installation
Starting The DVR
After installing the hard disk, connect the power cord to start the DVR.
※
The HDD Lock in the front panel must be in the lock position before turning on the
DVR power.
When starting the DVR for the first time, formatting of the hard disk will commence automatically and
the DVR will be initialized as follows.
The DVR will perform “S.M.A.R.T.” check of the installed hard disk as shown in the above figures.
- 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(NOT FAT32), HDD capacity, and S.M.A.R.T. check result.
If no problem is 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 the 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.
