Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Check DVR and its Accessories

Please check the contents of the shipping container. If any of the items are missing

please contact your supplier.

2.2 HDD Installation

If you have not purchased Hard Drives for this DVR you can calculate the total

capacity you need (refer to Appendix A).

Installing the hard disks should be performed by a qualified person. When working

with electrostatic sensitive devices such as a hard disk or the DVR unit, make sure

you use a static-free workstation. Any electrostatic energy coming in contact with the

hard disk or DVR main board can damage it permanently.

Installing SATA HDD

1. Before installation of the HDD, switch the recorder off and unplug the power cable.

2. Place the recorder on a flat table, and make sure you take proper ESD precautions.

Wear an ESD bracelet at all times. A Philips screwdriver is required to disassemble

and reassemble the unit.

3. Remove the metal top cover by removing two screws from the rear of the cover,

slide the cover towards the rear and lift it from the unit.

4. Remove the metal hard drive brackets (remove one screw from the top of the

mounting plate, lift the rear of the plate and slide backwards).

To remove the bottom plate, remove the mounting screws that are inserted from the

outside of the unit (one on each side).

Make sure that the hard disk bracket does not come into contact with the PCB, as this

could cause damage.
