Guidelines for Using the External SATA Hard Disk Drive

The external SATA hard disk drive requires continuous power. If the SATA drive loses power while the 8300HD is plugged in, the 8300HD may stop current recordings or not provide enough space for future recordings. Follow these guidelines for using the SATA drive:

•Do not plug in the power cord for the SATA drive to a switched outlet or to the AC outlet on the 8300HD.

•Do not turn off, disconnect, or unplug the SATA drive while the 8300HD is plugged in.

Recommendations for the SATA Drive

Contact your cable service provider for a list of approved external SATA hard disk drives. At a minimum, your SATA drive should have these capabilities:

•External SATA Connector - SATA II: Cable and Connector, Revision 1.0 (www.sata-io.org for more information)

•Drive Speed: 7200 RPM (5400 RPM without Multi-room); 133 MB/sec

•Capacity: Only one SATA drive can be connected to the 8300HD. The 8300HD will not support a separate port multiplier.

•SATA Drive Power: The SATA drive should power on when plugged in and should not be controlled by a switch.
