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
