Formatting the Hard Drive

If you replace the pre-installed hard drive, it must be formatted in order to function properly with the system.

ATTENTION: Formatting the HDD erases all data on the hard disk.

This step cannot be undone.

To format the hard disk:

1From the Main Menu, click . The Record Menu opens.

2Select Format HDD.

3Click Yes to format the hard drive or click No to cancel. Please allow a few seconds for formatting to occur.

NOTE: You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The system uses a portion of the disk space for the operating system and initialization. This is common in all security DVRs as well as computer hard drives.
