Protecting people and property in a million locations worldwide.
Introduction The following instructions serve as a guide for replacing the primary hard disk drive of your DX8000 Series digital video recorder (DVR). Step-by-step directions show you how to install the DX8000-UP250 hard disk upgrade kit. PARTS LIST NOTE: This upgrade kit includes a Pelco-certified hard disk drive. Using any other hard disk drive with the DX8000 voids the manufacturer’s warranty for the DX8000.
Getting Ready 1. Familiarize yourself with the instructions throughout this manual. 2. Check that you have all the necessary parts and tools. Refer to the Parts List and Tools Needed sections. 3. Shut down the DX8000 Series DVR unit. Refer to DX8000 Installation Manual or Operations and Programming Manual for instructions on shutting down your unit. 4. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket and then from the rear of the DVR.
Figure 2.
5. Ensure that the DX8000 Series DVR and all of its components are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling any electronic components, you should take steps to ground yourself properly so that any built-up static electric charges are dissipated away from the unit. The most effective method for combating ESD is to use a properly grounded wrist strap.
Prepare Unit for Drive Installation OPEN THE UNIT CHASSIS WARNING: The chassis assembly includes parts with sharp edges. To avoid injury, use caution when working in and around the DX8000’s chassis and components. 1. If the DX8000 is mounted in a rack, remove it and transport it to an area that will provide full access to the unit chassis: a. b. c. Disconnect any cables or connections that might restrict access to or the removal of the unit. Unscrew the fasteners that are securing the unit in the rack.
3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the chassis cover: WARNING: Make sure unit is turned off and you are wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap before attempting to open the DX8000 chassis cover. Refer to the Getting Ready section. a. Remove the two top-most screws on the left and right side panels of the DX8000. Refer to Figure 4. b. Remove the four silver screws fastening the cover to the rear of the unit. These screws are the ones closest to the top of the unit. Refer to Figure 4. c.

Move the Front Cross-Brace 1. Unscrew and lift out the front cross-brace (found at the center of the unit). Moving this part out of the way will make it easier for you to access the hard drive mounting baskets. a. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two flat-head screws that secure the front cross-brace. Refer to Figure 6. Figure 6.
b. Carefully place the cross-brace and fan across the rear section of the unit. Refer to Figure 7. WARNING: Do not disconnect the wires or remove the front cross-brace entirely from the unit— doing so may cause damage to the fan’s power connection. Figure 7.
Disconnect the Data and Power Cables When removing the data and power cables, pull the connectors straight out. Do not rock connectors back and forth or remove a cable by pulling it by its wires or cable. 1. Remove the IDE data cable from the existing hard drive, CD-RW drive, and motherboard: a. Carefully pull the plastic tab of each cable connector away from the hard drive and CD-RW drive. Refer to Figure 8. b.
2. Remove the power connectors from the hard drive. HARD DRIVE POWER CONNECTOR Figure 9.
Remove the Drive Mount Basket 1. Remove the first hard drive mounting basket: a. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unfasten and save the four screws that attach the drive basket to the chassis. Refer to Figure 10. b. Gently lift the basket up and out with the drive attached. Be careful not to force the basket free or to disturb other components inside the unit. Figure 10.
Replace the Primary Hard Disk NOTE: This upgrade kit includes a Pelco-certified hard disk drive. Using any other hard disk drive with the DX8000 voids the manufacturer’s warranty for this product. REMOVE THE ORIGINAL DRIVE 1. 2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unfasten the screws attaching the drive to the basket. Refer to Figure 11. Gently remove the original hard drive from the basket and set aside. Figure 11.
MOUNT THE NEW DRIVE 1. Mount the new drive in the drive basket. Use the drive slot closest to the CD-RW drive. Refer to Figure 12. a. b. c. Make sure the drive is mounted in the basket so that access to the connectors is not blocked. Attach the drive to the basket using the two screws that came with the upgrade kit. Tighten the screws securely but do not over-tighten. Figure 12.
2. Mount the drive basket back into the chassis: a. Align the basket and press down firmly to ensure that it fits flush against the top of the chassis bracket. Refer to Figure 13. b. Secure the drive basket to the chassis using the four screws you set aside earlier. Figure 13.
SET THE MASTER / SLAVE JUMPER Each hard drive must be configured as either a master or slave device to operate correctly. A jumper is used to configure a pair of connected hard drives to operate in a master/slave relationship. A jumper is a small plastic part that slides over a pair of drive configuration pins. Figure 14 illustrates the rear panel of a 250 GB hard disk drive and the jumper location. DATA CONNECTOR PIN 1 MASTER/SLAVE JUMPERS POWER CONNECTOR Figure 14. Rear View of Hard Disk Drive 1.

RECONNECT THE DATA AND POWER CABLES IMPORTANT: Data and power cable connectors fit together only one way. All connectors are keyed to ensure that they are inserted in the proper orientation. Examine the drive, motherboard, and cable connectors before installation so that connectors are properly aligned. Make sure connectors are seated in the mating connectors securely, but do not force the connection.

Reassemble the Unit 1. Replace the front cross-brace and secure it with the flat-head screws you set aside earlier. Refer to Figure 18. Figure 18.
2. Replace the chassis cover using the same screws you removed from the side and rear of the unit. Refer to Figure 19. Figure 19.
3. Reinstall the unit in a rack enclosure if necessary, and reconnect all cables and peripheral equipment that you removed earlier. 4.
