Before installing or removing the internal HDD, please disconnect the power supply from EzRecorder 310 to avoid data loss.
Removing internal HDD immediately after powering-off may cause personal injury due to heat. Please wait until the HDD cools down completely (it takes approximately 10 minutes) before any attempt to remove it.

Step 3
Adjusting the Rotary Knob
Adjust the rotary knob attached to the inner side of the lid to fit the height of your HDD.
The default position of the rotary knob fits HDD with 9.5 mm height. If you use a 7 mm HDD, rotate the rotary knob to the other direction. For a 12.7 mm HDD, you need to remove the rotary knob using a screwdriver.
