Installing the Hard Drive
Installing the Hard Drive
The Hard Drive serves the same purpose in a DVR as a video cassette does in a VCR. Please follow the steps carefully in order to ensure proper installation.
The compartment located on the front panel of the DVR is the removable Cartridge Casing in which you insert the Hard Drive. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.
STEP 1: Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DVR.
•Lift the Handle and pull towards you. The Cartridge Casing will slide out of the DVR.
NOTE:
You may find that the cartridge casing is locked. In this case, skip ahead to step 7 to find instructions on unlocking the cabi- net, then return to Step 2
