Create HDD groups

changing its property. It can be set to read-only or read/write (R/W). The storage mode
must be set to Group before setting the HDD property.
A HDD can be set to read-only to avoid important recorded files from being overwritten
when the HDD becomes full.
To change a HDD status property:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Storage Management > HDD Information.
2. Select the HDD whose property you want to change.
3. Click the Edit icon . The Local HDD Settings window appears.
Note: The Edit icon is only available if there are at least two HDDs installed.
4. Click the desired HDD property for the selected HDD: R/W or Read Only.
5. Click the group number for this HDD.
6. Click Apply to save and exit the window.
