Getting Started
1.1 Formatting the HDD / SD Card
1. XDR utilizes a propriety file format for security , each storage device MUST be formatted IN
the XDR prior to use.
2. MS Windows will NOT recognize the SD card when inserted and will display error message
and ask to Repair or Reformat the card. Do NOT format or Repair the card via PC. (This is a
safety feature of the system). Data can only be recognized by the Ventra XDR Software
3. Do NOT Insert or Remove HDD / SD card while XDR is powered ON
4. To connect to the XDR, there are 2 methods
- Mouse to the USB port on the XDR
- EX4-PGM programming tablet
5. To Format the card, Login to XDR Settings by selecting the > Login > Setup >
Maintenance > Storage
- Default ID: admin
- Password: admin
6. Select Maintenance Tab > Storage Tab > pick the SD Slot to format (Any previous data will
be erased)
7. Top Slot = Primary, Bottom Slot = Secondary. (If using only 1 card, insert into Top Slot)
8. Each system support 1 HDD for data storage and 1 SD card up to 128GB for back up.
