CAUTION
Follow recommended electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines while performing this procedure. Install the HDD in a static-free
environment, wearing a certied ESD wrist strap. If a static free environment and ESD wrist strap is not available, touch the bare
metal of the DVR chassis frequently when installing the drive to dissipate the static charge naturally generated on your skin and
clothing and avoid touching electronic components.

SATA cable to the HDD SATA connector on the PC board. When installing additional HDDs in the chassis, install HDD 1 rst,
then HDD 2, HDD 3, and nally HDD 4. (NOTE: The HDD number is determined by the SATA connector on the PC board that it
attaches to.)
CAUTION
When installing HDDs, be careful not to pinch or in any way damage the front panel ribbon cable. This cable is normally routed
through the HDD 2 bay.
