Expanding (Replacing) and initializing the hard disk

Please contact the dealer from whom you purchased this digital video recorder regarding hard disk expansion (replacement). An optional S-ATA board and an external hard disk drive expansion unit (VA-EXH series), or optional SCSI board and RAID unit can be used with this digital video recorder. All of these optional components are sold separately.

zInitialization must always be performed after expanding the hard disk.

zAll important recordings should be copied to USB memory or other storage media before expanding the hard disk.

zWhen connecting an expansion unit to the DVR, install two internal hard disks to the DVR. If internal hard disks are installed after the expansion unit is connected, all hard disks must be initialized.

zThe expansion unit is not interchangeable on a single DVR unit.

zWhen turning on the system in connection to an external expansion unit, first turn power on to the external unit, and then to the digital video recorder. When turning off the system, first turn power off to the digital video recorder, and then to the external unit.

The <HDD SET> screen is displayed in the following manner when hard disk expansion is carried out for the DVR or external expansion unit.

“NEW” is displayed to

NEW DISK INITIALIZE

->

 

PLEASE INITIALIZE THE NEW DISK

To initialize a recently expanded hard disk, select “NEW DISK INITIALIZE”.

To initialize all connected hard disks, select “ALL DISK INITIALIZE”.

zWhen a RAID unit is connected, “ARRAY” is displayed instead of “EX-DISK”.

zWhen a RAID unit is connected, recording and playback cannot be carried out on the internal hard disk of the DVR.

zThe digital video recorder does not support the disk space change of the RAID unit currently used for recording. When you change disk space, you must separate ARRAY before you start the reconfiguration of the system, regardless of the functions of the RAID unit. Then reboot the digital video recorder and initialize ARRAY.
