1.4 Setting Up the DVR Unit
1.4.1 Installing Hard Drives
Before you install hard drives, please adjust the jumpers’ setting according to the instructions on your hard disk label.
The DVR unit allows you to install up to two hard drives (a master and slave drive).
Install one hard disk in a removable hard disk drawer as HDD A and the other hard disk inside DVR unit as HDD B. Fix the hard disks as the right picture shows.
The minimum hard disks capacity should be 40GB/ 7200RPM.
When you only install ONE hard disk in your DVR, Western Digital (WD), Hitachi and Seagate hard disks are recommended. When you install 2 hard disks, please use 2 WD or 2 Hitachi hard disks inside the DVR. A hard disk compatibility issue may occur due to different hard disk models.
