Description
This manual describes how to replace, upgrade, or install a new hard disk drive (HDD) in the
DX8100 Series hybrid/digital video recorder (HVR/DVR). Before you install the hard drive, familiarize
yourself with the instructions in this manual.
NOTES:
This document describes how to install a new unformatted HDD. Using this procedure for other
scenarios might result in data loss.
Installing an internal HDD storage device other than a device obtained from Pelco will immediately
void the warranty on the DX8100 HVR/DVR.
The DX8100 allows you to install one system drive (required) and up to three data HDDs. The system drive
installation process allocates 15 GB for installing the system software. System software includes the
Windows operating system and the DX8100 Series application software. The remaining storage capacity
on the system drive can be configured to store video data. The DX8100 supports up to three data drives for
storing video data.

wrist strap and mat, and four small containers (optional) to store screws.
