2.2 Hard Disk Installation

Before you start
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the
DVR. A factory recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
One or two SATA hard disks can be installed depending on different models.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
As the installation steps of HDD are similar among different models, here we take the steps of the
DS-7200HQHI as the example.
Step 1 Remove the cover from the DVR by unfastening the screws on the back and side.
