VR800 Quick Operation Guide
1 Place the VR800 on the flat level surface so
that the bottom of the unit faces up.
Remove the bottom panel of the VR800 by
removing six screws using a screw driver.
To prevent knobs and controls on the top panel from
being damaged, place a soft cloth beneath the VR800.
Two cables used to connect to the hard disk appear
when you remove the bottom panel.
<Caution>
* Before you start, be sure to remove the power cable from the VR800. Also, NEVER let your hands or metal objects touch the
motherboard or the connectors for the hard disk.
* Wear gloves when you install the hard disk. Customers are not expected to touch the bottom part of the VR800, and the
bottom is not designed to prevent injury. Therefore, if you touch the bottom panel with you bare hand while installing the
hard disk, you may be injured. Be sure to follow the correct procedure and pay careful attention to avoid injury.
Follow the steps below to install a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk as a current drive in the VR800.
2 Install the included brackets on the hard disk
unit.
Use the included four screws to fix the bracket. As shown
in the figure, align the end of the brackets with the rear
end of the disk unit (that is, the opposite end from the
connector side).
3
Install the hard disk with brackets to the
specified area in the VR800.
At this point, finger-tighten the screws so that you can
fine-adjust the position of the disk when you connect
the cables.
4 Connect two cables to the hard disk.
As shown in the figure, bend the wider cable to connect
to the disk, then connect the power supply cable
securely. Be sure to follow the figure below to bend the
wider cable correctly. After connecting the cable, tighten
the screws securely.
5 Replace the bottom panel using the same six
screws.
Re-position the VR800 so that the top panel faces up,
and proceed to the “Formatting a disk” section on page
8.
