HARD DISK DRIVE CHAPTER 8

Your DVR uses a standard laptop computer 2.5-inch SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk drive and has been tested with up to a 500GB drive. These drives are the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, it may come with a pre-installed drive. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.

It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well

as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so

can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as injury or death.
