HARD DISK DRIVE

Your DVR uses a standard SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk drive and will support
drives up to 2TB (terabytes). These drives are the current industry standard and may be purchased
wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may
already be installed. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so
this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.
It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the battery and
you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid
damage to the other components within the case.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well
as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as
injury or death.

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL

It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static
discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are
largely the same:
STEP 1
. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
STEP 2
. Remove screws (the number will vary depending on your model) from the side and rear of
