HDD Management

From Main Menu click the Advanced icon followed by the Hard Disk Management icon. The
HDD Manage settings screen similar to the one below will appear.
The screen displays current hard drive information including disk number, input port, type, status
and drive capacity. From the screen 6 drive operations are possible. Select the hard drive and
click on the desired button. NOTE the number of supported hard drives is DVR specific.
 READ WRITE – Data can be written to and read from the drive.
 READ ONLY – No data can be written to the disk.
 REDUNDANCY – Double backup the video files to a ReadWrite disk. Note a second
hard drive is required.
 FORMAT DISK – Hard drives need to be formatted to operate with the DVR. If a hard
drive is not formatted it will not be recognized by the DVR. Generally all hard drives
newly installed in the DVR will have to be formatted. On occasions there may be a
need to reformat an existing drive. Formatting a hard drive erases all information
on that drive. Be certain the drive requires formatting and backup data on the
drive to another storage device if that data are needed.
 RECOVER – Used to salvage damaged files on a disk with errors.
 PARTITION – A drive may be partition for file allocation.
