HARD DISK DRIVE
CHAPTER 7
Your NVR uses a standard computer A/V-rated SATA (Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment) hard disk drive and will support up to a 3TB (terabytes) drive. These drives are
the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold.
Depending on where you purchased your NVR, it may come with a pre-installed drive. But,
we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this NVR is
designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.
It should be noted that while this and the battery are the only user-serviceable parts within the
case, 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.
7.1 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 NVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The NVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well
as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the NVR or its components as well as
injury or death.
