HARD DISK DRIVE
CHAPTER 9
Your DVR uses a standard desktop or 3.5” SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
hard disk drive and will support drives up to 3TB (terabytes). These drives are the current
industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on
where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may already be installed. But, we recognize
that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed
to make installation and replacement easy for the average user. An A/V-rated drive is
recommended for optimal performance.
It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the
battery and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care
must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case. Such damage will
not be covered.

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk
of static discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the
steps are largely the same:
STEP 1. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
STEP 2. Remove screws (the number will vary depending on your model) from the side
and rear of your DVR as indicated in Picture 9-1

STEP 3. Remove the case by sliding it
backwards and then lifting off.
STEP 3A. If removing a hard drive, you
will need to unscrew the four drive
mounting screws at the bottom of the
DVR or on the internal mounting rack.
