Remove Hard Drive Volume(s) from Storage
When replacing or upgrading hard drive(s), all the hard drives must be the same
size. The same make and model of hard drives is also highly recommended.
You may need to reconfigure the RAID controller board BIOS when you replace
a bad hard drive, if you forget to update the 3DM Windows utility before
physically removing the bad drive. Refer to the “Quick Switch One Hard Drive”
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
The Multi Volume Configuration application is used to temporarily remove hard
drives that are being worked on (upgraded or replaced). This procedure is

when the recorder is started.
Note: The Multi Volume Configuration application is also used to specify new
hard drives.

Power Down the Unit
When replacing or adding any new PCI card, turn off the power switch and
disconnect the power cord. It is not enough to shut down Windows and just turn
the system off because the motherboard keeps standby power on the PCI
connector to support the wake up feature. The motherboard has an LED near the
RAM, which indicates if the power is really off.
