The AXIS 2460 can be fitted with various brands of commercially available IDE hard disk.

Follow these instructions to install a disk:
1. Switch off power to the unit. First press the power button on the front panel until it
turns amber and wait until the unit shuts down. Then set the main power switch on the
rear panel to 0.
2. Mount the disk(s) in the holder(s).
3. Set the disk in the upper position to master. If installing a second disk on the same
cable (channel) set this to slave. Exactly how this is done varies from one type of disk
to another. Refer to the documentation provided with the disk.
4. Remove the cover from the AXIS 2460. Connect the IDE-cable to the disk(s) and
connect the other end to the motherboard.
5. Connect the power cable to the disk(s).
