Checking HDD status

You can check the status of any of the installed HDDs on the NVR at anytime.
To check the status of an HDD:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
2. Note the status of the HDDs listed under the Status column.
If the status is listed as Normal or Sleeping, the HDD is in working order. If it is listed
as Abnormal and has already been initialized, the HDD needs to be replaced. If the
HDD is Uninitialized, you need to initialize it before it can be used in the NVR. Refer
to "Initializing HDDs" on page 57 for more information.
Note: This information is also available under
> HDD window.

Configuring HDD alarms

HDD alarms can be set to trigger when an HDD is uninitialized or in an abnormal state.
To set HDD alarms:

2. Under Exception
See "Description of alarm notification types" on page 35 for more information.
3. Select HDD Error
4. Click Apply to save the settings.

Checking the S.M.A.R.T. information

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) reports on a variety of
hard drive attributes. It helps ensure that the HDD is functioning properly at all times
while protecting video stored on the hard drive.
