Hard Drive Installation
Hard drives are typically sold separately, when installing a hard drive to the device, please make sure to
use a hard drive with 7200rpm or higher. Please follow the instructions below to install a hard disk drive
(HDD).
All the figures listed below are for reference only. Slight differences may be found on the front or rear
panel.
The NVR has connections for only 1 hard drive inside the case and the hard drive must be no bigger than
10TB (Terabytes).
To install your hard drive, the following is needed:
A medium sized (regular) Phillips-head screwdriver - not included
A hard drive - not included (unless you purchased a ‘kit’ that does have one included)
Four hard drive fastening screws - included
Note: Before installing the hard drive, make sure the NVR is powered off and completely disconnected
from power.
1. Loosen the screws on
the upper cover and side
panel.
2. Attach four screws in the HDD
(Turn three times.)
3. Place the HDD in accordance
with the four holes on the bottom.
4. Turn the device over
secure the screws.
5. Connect the HDD data cable
and power cable to the HDD.
6. Attach the cover onto the NVR
and secure it using the screws.
Once the hard drive is installed, turn on the NVR. If the hard drive for your NVR was not setup properly
you may hear a beeping noise. This indicates the NVR does not have the proper connection with your hard
drive.
