INSTALLING A HARD DISK DRIVE

1 Install a hard disk drive (HDD) in the DVR following the instructions provided by the
HDD manufacturer. Connect the data and power cables to the appropriate sockets.
2 Format the HDD using the DVR before attempting to record because the standard PC
formatting is not compatible. Use the Maintenance tab on the Tool Bar Main Menu
(See Chapter 5).
Note: Depending on the size of the HDD, formatting can take several minutes.
