3.3.1 HDD Auto Scan

When the DVR is powering on, HDD auto scan will be initiated if

there was previously an unusual power loss or file system error.

If by any chance auto scan failed, the HDD will need to be

formatted.

NOTE: If users wish to disable the auto scan function,

enter the OSD setup menu via an authorized account and

access <Database Setup> to set <Repair On Power

Loss> to <Off>.

Read the following troubleshooting to finish the auto scanning

process.

 Skip Auto Scan: During the scanning process, users can

press any key to skip the process.

 Time Expired: When the scanning process took more than

predetermined time (3hrs for 1TB HDD, 6hrs for 2TB HDD,

etc), the scanning process is treated as failed and will be

automatically terminated. The DVR will reboot.

 Format HDD: If the scanning process is failed, users will be

prompted to confirm format of the HDD with error. When

users confirmed to format the HDD with error, login of an

authorized account is required if password protection is

enabled. If users select cancel or do not respond within 5

minutes, the HDD with error will be marked as a NG HDD. A

NG HDD will not be counted as a part of the DVR’s database.

It will just stay there doing nothing.

 Recover NG HDD: Enter the OSD setup menu via an

authorized account and access <Database Setup>. Then

select <Internal Disks> and find the NG HDD from the list.

Under <Action> column, first select <Format> to format the

NG HDD. Then select <Add> to add the formatted HDD to the

DVR’s database.

NOTE: The above actions will be recorded in the system

log data.
