Installing the Hard Drive
Installing the Hard Drive
The Hard Drive serves the same purpose in a DVR as a video cassette does in a VCR. Please
follow the steps carefully in order to ensure proper installation.
The compartment located on the front panel of the DVR is the removable Cartridge Casing in
which you insert the Hard Drive. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your
reference.
STEP 1: Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DVR.
• Lift the Handle and pull towards you.
The Cartridge Casing will slide out of
the DVR.
STEP 2: Remove the Cover from the Cartridge Casing
• Un-clip the release latch with the word “OPEN” printed
beside it by gently pushing on the latch.
• Slide the cover off to where it locks or catches the stopper
and lift the Cartridge Casing to remove it.
STEP 3: Connect the Hard Drive into the Cartridge Casing.
• Take the Hard Disk Drive and Connect the
two cables from the back of the Cartridge
Casing to the Hard Drive.
• The cables should be pushed in firmly, but
not forcibly.
• The 4 Pin connection is the DC Power cable,
and the wider cable is the standard Hard
Drive IDE type connection.
