REPLACING A DATA STORAGE HARD DISK DRIVE IN A NON-RAID SYSTEM (NVR3xx-500 SYSTEMS ONLY)In NVR316-500 and NVR332-500 systems (non-RAID), the data storage hard disk drive is field replaceable. If the storage drive fails, you can
replace it with a new drive.
NOTE: All recordings on the failed storage drive are lost.
Replacing a failed storage drive in an NVR3XX-500 GB system involves the following steps:
1. Replacing the failed storage drive with the new storage drive in the hard disk drive bay of the NVR300.
2. Using the Windows XP Disk Management tool to extend the data storage volume (Volume D) of the NVR300 among multiple disks.
NOTE: The data storage volume of the NVR300 is preconfigured as Volume D (D:\).
To perform each of the above steps, refer to the sections that follow.
Step 1. Replace the failed storage drive.
To replace a failed storage drive in an NVR3xx-500 system, do the following:
1. Power off the NVR300 by doing the following:
a. On the Windows XP taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Turn Off Computer.
The “Turn off computer” dialog box appears.
b. Click the Turn Off button.
The NVR300 powers off.
2. Unlock the NVR300 front door using a supplied key.
3. Remove the failed storage drive from the slot by pressing down on the lock latch of the carrier and then pulling the carrier out of the slot.
The carrier should slide out of the slot.
4. Remove the failed storage drive from the carrier as follows:
a. Observe that the drive is held in place by two retention clips on each side of the carrier. The two retention clips on each side of the
carrier latch onto the holes on each side of the drive.
b. Place the carrier containing the drive on a flat surface.
c. Using a small screwdriver, carefully pull the retention clips on one side of the carrier away from the carrier while lifting the drive out
of the carrier. Be careful not to bend the retention clips.
Retain the carrier to hold the new storage drive.
5. Remove the new storage drive from the antistatic wrapping.
6. Using the carrier that held the failed storage drive, insert the new storage drive into the carrier as follows:
a. Orient the drive so that the visible electronics point downward and the connectors point outward.
b. Push the drive into the carrier. Ensure that the two retention clips on each side of the carrier latch onto the holes on each side of the
drive.
7. Insert the carrier containing the new storage drive into the same slot from which the failed storage drive was removed.
NOTE: When inserting the carrier, ensure that the carrier is securely seated in the slot and that the lock latch on the top of the carrier locks into
the hard disk drive bay. (The carrier should not be able to be removed from the slot without pressing the lock latch.)
WARNING: Handle the replacement hard disk drive with care. Improper handling can easily damage the drive. In addition, prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the hard disk drive by following ESD precautions. Always wear a grounding wrist strap that is
connected to an approved grounding source when installing the hard disk drives.
