Appendix B: Replacing a Hard Drive

Since the DVR5300 runs continuously, a hard drive may fail at some point. If this happens, the indicator for the failed drive glows red.

WARNING: If a hard drive fails, replace it as soon as possible to maintain system data redundancy.

NOTES:

•The HD5000 Series hard drive replacement kit includes a single hard drive carrier with a Pelco-certified hard drive. Using any other hard drive in the drive carrier voids the manufacturer’s warranty for the DVR5300.

•You can replace the failed hard drive with a drive of equal or greater capacity. The unit ignores any additional capacity. However, do not install a lower capacity drive, which will corrupt the RAID array.

•You can replace the failed drive without shutting down the unit.

•No tools are required to replace this component.

To replace a hard drive:

1.Review all instructions in this section before proceeding.

2.Refer to Safe Handling of Hard Drives (C2668M) for additional safety instructions when handling a hard drive.

3.Unlock and open the bezel cover.

4.Identify the failed hard drive. The drive status indicator will be solid red.
