Init.: Initializes the hard drive. You'll only need to do this for drives once, assuming that it's not already
initialized. If the Mount column reads "No" then choose Init. to initialize the drive.
Label: A quick way of differentiating between hard drives. For the first setup, there will usually
only be one hard drive - you can always add and initialize another hard drive later (connected
via the eSATA port).
Capacity: The total amount of space on the hard drive. This will typically be slightly less than
the rated capacity of the hard drive as a fraction of the space is required by the file allocation
table (FAT).
Format: Whether the hard drive has been formatted to operate with the NVR. When the hard
drive is formatted appropriately, this will simply read "yes". If it says anything else, such as an
ominous "no", then select the disk and choose Format.
Mount: Whether the drive has been initialized and is detected by the NVR. If the drive isn't
mounted then it needs to be initialized (see above).
Free Space: The amount of available space on the hard drive.
Warning! Don't initialize a drive that already has data on it, as the initialization process will
erase any information on the drive.
