Formatting the Hard Drive

If you replace the pre-installed hard drive, it

must

be formatted in order to function

properly with the system.

To format the hard disk:

1

Right-click to open the Menu Bar and click the Main Menu button (

).

2

Click Device.

3

Click the checkbox under Select to choose the drive you wish to reformat.

4

Click Format HDD. Enter the system password.

5

When the warning window appears, click OK. Wait for the system to format the hard drive.

NOTE: You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The system

uses a portion of the disk space for the operating system and initialization. This is
common in all security DVRs as well as computer hard drives.

Tighten the hard drive screws

ATTENTION

: Formatting the HDD erases

all data

on the hard disk. 

This step cannot be undone.
