Precautions for connection
Notice
•
When connecting 5 or more HDD extension units (with 2 HDDs mounted on each unit) to the digital recorder, you are
recommended to use USB cable as illustrated below to prevent recognition error of digital recorder due to different
start-up times among HDDs.
Furthermore, before you start operation or when the power restores from a power failure, check that the HDDs are
recognized correctly even when a small number of HDD extension units are connected.

specification of the recorder.
