3.3 Configuring the HDD in the unit
There is an empty cartridge positioned on the front panel where users can
install a swappable HDD. There are two possible situations after a HDD is
installed into the unit.
• If a brand new HDD is installed, the unit will automatically format it and
add it into the database.
• If a used HDD that has a different data format is installed, the screen will
show “1 disk(s) with wrong data format! Please format then add to the
database manually”. Please follow the steps described below:
- Enter the OSD setup menu using account with appropriate privilege
and access <Database Setup>.
- Access <External Disks>.
- Find the HDD that was just installed, and select <Format> to format it.
- After the HDD is formatted, select <Add> to add it into the database.
