Introduction This manual provides instructions for replacing the primary master or secondary slave hard disk drive in a DX4000 Series DVR (digital video recorder). PARTS AND TOOLS NOTE: This replacement kit includes a Pelco-certified hard disk drive (160 GB or 250 GB). Using any other hard disk drive with the DX4000 voids the manufacturer's warranty for the DX4000.
Getting Started 1. Familiarize yourself with the instructions throughout this manual. 2. Check that you have all the necessary parts and tools. Refer to Parts and Tools on page 3. 3. If possible, back up all essential video before you install a new hard disk drive. If your unit contains two hard disk drives, back up all essential video on the unaffected drive as well. 4. Shut down the DX4000 DVR unit. Refer to the DX400 installation or operation manuals for instructions on shutting down the unit. 5.
Figure 2. ESD Protection A disposable ESD wrist strap (refer to Figure 3) is included with this kit. Attach the copper end of this wrist strap to any unpainted surface of an appliance that is grounded. An appliance is considered grounded if it can direct ESD to the earth usually through its power cable. An appliance that is plugged into an electrical outlet is considered grounded. The DX4000 is not considered grounded when it is unplugged.

Replacing the Hard Disk Install only blank hard disk drives received from the Pelco factory. Do not install a replacement hard disk drive that is already formatted. Hard disk drives that are already formatted can cause errors on the DX4000. WARNING: Any video on the hard disk drive will be lost when the drive is replaced. If possible, back up important video recordings before you replace a hard disk drive. 1. Locate the hard disk drive in the front of the DVR (refer to Figure 6).
3. Verify that the jumper on the replacement hard disk drive is set correctly as either Master or Slave. The Master hard disk drive requires a jumper; the Slave hard disk drive does not. Figure 7. Jumper Placement on Master Hard Disk Drive 4. Replace the hard disk drives. a. Set the jumper cable to the proper setting for the replacement or drive or drives. For the primary drive, set the Primary HDD-Jumper setting to Master. For the secondary drive, set the Secondary HDD-Jumper setting to Slave. b.
Reassembling the Unit 1. Replace the lid, and use the original screws to secure the lid in place. 2. Reconnect the power cord. 3. Restart the DX4000, and then follow the prompts to format the replacement hard disk drive. Formatting the New Hard Disk Drive WARNING: Do not turn off the unit while formatting a hard disk drive. Loss of power while formatting a hard disk drive can cause fatal errors.
After the hard disk drives are formatted, the Login screen appears with the Administrator user ID. Figure 10. Login Screen 3. Enter a password for the administrator, and then press the Enter button. The DX4000 is now ready again. Formatting a hard disk drive does not modify any settings for the DX4000; it merely prepares the hard disk drive to store video.
