Initialize a HDD
The HDDs delivered with the unit do not need to be initialized before they can be used. When
reusing HDDs, you can also re-initialize the HDD. However, all data on the HDD will be erased.
To initialize a HDD:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Remote Configuration > Storage
Management > HDD Information.
2. Click Select All to select all the HDDs.
3. Click the Init button to begin initialization.
After the HDD has been initialized, the status of the HDDs changes from Abnormal to
Normal.
Overwrite a HDD
You can select how the recorder responds when the HDDs become full and there is no longer
sufficient space to save new data. The overwrite option is enabled by default.
To enable overwrite when the HDDs are full:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Remote Configuration > Storage
Management > HDD Information.
2. Enable Overwrite.
Caution: If the overwrite option is disabled and the quota management capacity for a channel
is set to zero, the recordings on that channel can still be overwritten. To avoid this happening,
set a quota level for the channel or use the group management mode.
3. Click Save to save the settings.
Install HDDs
You can install up to 16 HDDs in the recorder.
Caution: Do not insert or remove HDDs with the recorder powered up.
Note: This unit contains electrostatic-sensitive components. Before handling the HDDs, make
sure you are properly grounded to avoid ESD damage.
To install a HDD:
1. Unpack the recorder box.
2. Unpack the recorder HDD box.
Note: HDDs for the TVN 71 are delivered separately from the chassis box due to shipping
weight.
