Getting Started
1. Familiarize yourself with the instructions throughout this manual.
2. Check that you have all the necessary parts and tools. Refer to Parts and Tools on page 3.
3. If possible, export all essential video before you install a new hard disk drive. If your unit contains two hard disk
drives, export all essential video on the unaffected drive as well. Follow the instructions for exporting video in the
operation manual.
4. Shut down the DVR5100 DVR unit. Refer to the DVR5100 installation or operation manuals for instructions on
shutting down the unit.
5. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket and then from the rear of the DVR.
WARNING: For safety reasons, you must remove the power cord because current continues to flow through the
DVR5100 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.

6. Ensure that the DVR5100 DVR and all of its components are protected from 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 (refer to Figure 2). These wrist straps are designed to be plugged into specially-designed mats.
Figure 2. ESD Protection
A disposable ESD wrist strap (refer to Figure 3) is included with this kit. Attach the copper end of this wrist strap to
any unpainted surface of an appliance that is grounded. An appliance is considered grounded if it can direct ESD to
the earth, usually through its power cable. An appliance that is plugged into an electrical outlet is considered
grounded. The DVR5100 is not considered grounded when it is unplugged. As an alternative, you can discharge builtĀup static by periodically touching an unpainted section of an appliance.
