Your Luma recorder comes with a hard drive already installed, but you can add additional hard drives (and/or
replace the existing one) to expand your recording capability.
Since these drives run 24/7, we recommend using hard drives that are rated for surveillance, like Western Digital's
Purple drives, which we sell on our website as a convenience to our valued installers.
Warning!
Do not use a powered screwdriver when installing or removing a hard drive. Doing so may result in
damage to the equipment, which is not covered by your warranty.
Warning!
Use a grounded anti-static mat and wrist band to ground yourself before servicing the recorder. Failure to
ground yourself may result in damage to the equipment, which is not covered by your warranty.

8-channel and 16-channel recorders also have an eSATA port on the back that can attach an additional hard drive.
Important Note
We recommend installing the drives before powering the recorder up for the first time. If a hard drive has been
initialized in the recorder, you should not change its SATA port. Once a hard drive has been initialized in a given
port (this includes the hard drive that comes with the unit), the recorder remembers that hard drive's location. If
the hard drive cabling is swapped this will cause errors, even if you re-initialize the hard drive in its new location.
Prepare the Recorder
In the local interface, click on the Settings
icon
,
then
Shutdown. The unit powers down.
Turn the power switch (located on the back
of the unit) to the off position. Unplug the
power cord from the rear of the unit.
If necessary, disconnect all cabling and
remove the recorder from the rack.
Warning!
Moving the recorder while it is
powered can damage the hard drive.
Remove the Cover
Remove the two small black screws located
along the top of the rear panel of the recorder.
(Do not remove the larger silver screws
around the fan.)
