Introduction
The following instructions provide step-by-step directions for replacing the primary hard disk drive of your DX8000 Series
digital video recorder (DVR).
PARTS LIST
NOTE:
This replacement 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.
Qty Description
1 80 GB or 250 GB hard disk drive
2 Mounting screws
1 DX8000 Reinstallation CD
TOOLS NEEDED
1 Phillips-head screwdriver #1 (nonmagnetic)
1 Properly grounded ESD wrist strap and mat
4 Small containers for storing screws (optional)
4 C1692M (12/05)
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.
WARNING:
the DX8000 even when the unit is off. Remove the power cord from the wall socket first and then from the rear
of the DVR. It is critical that the unit be unplugged for your safety.
For safety reasons, you must remove the power cord because current continues to flow through

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.
NOTE:
If you do not have access to a grounded wrist strap, you can discharge built-up static by periodically touching
an unpainted section of the chassis.

WARNING:
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. Disconnect any cables or connections that might restrict access to or the removal of the unit.
b. Unscrew the fasteners that are securing the unit in the rack.
c. Carefully lift the unit out of the rack.
NOTE:
Removing the DX8000 from a rack may require more than one person. Refer to the DX8000 Installation Manual for
rack mounting information.
2. Place the DX8000 on a flat surface with ample workspace.
The chassis assembly includes parts with sharp edges. To avoid injury, use caution when working in
C1692M (12/05) 7
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-colored 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. Carefully remove the chassis cover by sliding it back and up. Set aside the cover. Figure 5 illustrates the interior
of the DX8000.

WARNING:
cause damage to the fan’s power connection.
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
Do not disconnect the wires or remove the front cross-brace entirely from the unit—doing so may

Disconnect the Data and Power Cables
The system drive is always the first drive next to the CD-RW/DVD drive. 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 system drive as follows:
a. Carefully pull the plastic tab of the connector away from the hard drive. Refer to Figure 8.
b. If a second hard drive is installed in the basket, remove the IDE cable from the second drive.

Remove the Drive Mounting Basket
Remove the first hard drive mounting basket (refer to Figure 10):
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unfasten and save the four screws that attach the drive basket to the chassis.
2. 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.

NOTE:
This replacement 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 SYSTEM DRIVE
The system drive is located next to the CD-RW/DVD drive. In some cases, there might be a second hard disk drive installed
in the drive mounting basket.
To remove the original system drive (refer to Figure 11):
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unfasten the screws attaching the drive to the basket.
2. Gently remove the original system drive from the basket, and set the drive aside.

MOUNT THE NEW SYSTEM DRIVE
The system drive occupies the slot in the drive mounting basket that is next to the CD-RW/DVD drive.
To mount the new system drive:
1. Mount the new system drive in the drive basket. Use the drive slot closest to the CD-RW/DVD drive. Refer to
Figure 12.
a. Make sure the drive is mounted in the basket so that access to the connectors is not blocked.
b. Attach the drive to the basket using the two screws that came with the upgrade kit.
c. Tighten the screws securely but do not over-tighten.

2. Mount the drive basket back into the chassis (refer to Figure 13):
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.

Replacing Drive Basket
SET THE SYSTEM PRIMARY JUMPER
To operate correctly, you must configure the system drive jumper so that the drive is recognized as the primary drive.
Each hard drive must be configured as either a primary or secondary device to operate correctly. A jumper is used to
configure a pair of connected hard drives to operate in a primary/secondary 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.

IMPORTANT:
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. When installing drive power cables, push the connectors straight in or out; do not rock connectors back and
forth.
To reconnect the data and power cables:
1. Connect the IDE cable to the newly installed system drive. Refer to Figure 16.
2. If a second hard drive is in the drive mounting basket, connect the IDE cable to the second drive.
Data and power cable connectors fit together only one way. All connectors are keyed to ensure that they
