Guidelines for Using the External SATA Hard Disk Drive
The external SATA hard disk drive requires continuous power. If the SATA
drive loses power while the 8240 DVR is plugged in, the 8240 DVR may
stop current recordings or not provide enough space for future recordings.
Follow these guidelines for using the SATA drive:
•
Do not plug in the power cord for the SATA drive to a switched outlet or
to the AC outlet on the 8240 DVR.
•
Do not turn off , disconnect, or unplug the SATA drive while the 8240
DVR is plugged in.

hard disk drives. At a minimum, your SATA drive should have these
