Connecting the 8240HD to an External SATA Hard Disk Drive (optional), continued

Disconnecting the External SATA Hard Disk Drive

Complete the following steps to disconnect the SATA drive safely.

1.Make sure that the 8240HD is powered off.

2.Disconnect the power cord from the 8240HD and wait for at least 10 seconds.

3.Disconnect the power cord and data cable from the external SATA drive.

If you improperly disconnect your SATA drive, you will receive an error message, and you will be required to restart the 8240HD upon reconnecting.

How the SATA Drive Works with Your 8240HD

Recordings are balanced between the internal hard drive on the 8240HD and the external SATA drive as follows:

•A recording is not split between an internal and external hard drive.

•The 8240HD automatically stores complete programs using the following space available logic:

-If the external SATA drive has more space available, the SATA drive stores the next recording.

-If the internal hard drive on the 8240HD has more space available, the internal hard drive stores the next recording.

Note: The following graphic illustrates operation logic only; it does not represent an actual on- screen display.
