Installation
WARNING: Any video on the primary master hard drive will be lost when the drive is replaced.
To replace the primary master hard drive:
1. To protect the DVR and its components against electrostatic discharge, make sure that you are properly grounded so
that any built-up static electric charges are dissipated away from the unit. The most effective way to do this is to use
a properly grounded wrist strap. If a wrist strap is not available, you can discharge built-up static by periodically
touching an unpainted section of the chassis.
2. Turn off power.
3. Remove the top cover of the DVR (refer to Figure 1). Remove two screws on each side and three on the back of the
DVR. Loosen the top screw on each rack ear to make removal of the lid easier. Slide the top cover back and lift it up.
