Appendix B: Installing or Replacing the Hard Drive
Formatting the Hard Drive
If you replace the pre-installed hard drive or install a new hard drive, it
must
be formatted
in order to function properly with the system.
ATTENTION: Formatting the HDD erases all data on the hard disk. ï€
This step cannot be undone.
To format the hard disk:
1 Right-click and then click Menu.
2 Enter the system user name (default: ad
min) and password (default: 000000) and click Yes.
3 Click HDD>Gene
ral.
4 Check the har
d drive that you would like to format.
Check the hard
drive
Click Format
5 Click Format. Click OK to confirm. Wait for the formatting to complete. Right-click repeatedly
to return to live view.
NOTE: You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The system
uses a portion of the disk spac
e for the operating system and initialization. This is
common in all security NVRs as well as computer hard drives.
