Connecting an External SATA Hard Disk Drive (optional)
Complete the following steps to install an external SATA (eSATA) drive.
1. Verify that both the DVR and the eSATA drive are unplugged from power.
2. Connect the data cable for the eSATA drive to the DVR.
3. Plug in power to the eSATA drive.
4. Plug in the DVR power cord, and then turn on the DVR.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions. One of the following occurs:
• If it is a new eSATA drive or one used on another device, you will be asked to format it.
• If the drive is formatted and will work with this DVR, you will get a confi rmation that the drive is working.
WARNING: Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices before connecting or disconnecting
any device cables to the set-top.
How the eSATA Drive Works with Your DVR
An eSATA drive is an extension of the internal hard drive of the DVR; it is not an archival device. Programs recorded
to the eSATA drive can be played back on the DVR originally connected to the eSATA drive. For instance, you cannot
record programs to the eSATA drive, remove the drive, and then connect it to a computer or a different DVR for
playing back programs.
Some programs will record to the DVR internal hard drive and some will record to the eSATA drive, depending on the
space available. The DVR selects the drive that has enough space to record the entire program; a program is not split
between the internal and external drives.
