3. CONNECTIONS AND SETUP
3.1 HDD Installation
The HDDs must be installed before the DVR is turned on.
Step 1: Loose the screws on the upper cover and open the upper cover of the DVR.
Step 2: Screw out the L-shape HDD brackets. Two brackets are used to secure a HDD, and there are four of them.
Step 3: Get at least one compatible HDD.
If your DVR supports IDE HDDs, set the HDD mode to Master or Slave depending on where the HDD will be
installed. For details, please refer to the illustration below.
Note: HDD mode setting rule:
Master if you want to install the HDD to the place near the back panel;
Slave if you want to install the HDD to the place near the front panel.
If your DVR supports SATA HDDs, please skip to Step 4.
Step 4: Attach the bracket to one side of the HDD, and align the screw holes of the bracket with the HDD's screw holes.
Screw the HDD onto the HDD bracket, two screws for each side. Then, do the same thing to the other side of
the HDD.
Step 5: If your DVR supports IDE HDDs, connect the HDD to the power connector and IDE BUS (make sure to align
the HDD precisely for pin connection).
Make sure the HDD mode is set to "Master" or "Slave" as indicated below for the IDE BUS connection.
If your DVR supports SATA HDDs, connect the HDD with the data bus and power cable as indicated below.
Step 6: Screw the two HDD brackets back to the DVR base.
Step 7: Close the upper cover of the DVR, and fasten all the screws you loosened in Step 1.
