FORMATTING THE HARD DISK
The Hard Disk requires formatting before it can be used for
storing images, as shown below.
• When the Hard Disk in the Disk Recorder is replaced.
(Disk formatting is required for the replaced Hard Disk.)
• When the optional extension units are operated for the
first time after installation.
(Disk formatting is required for the Hard Disk in the
Extension Unit.)
Notes:
•
Remember that by formatting the hard disk all previ-
ously recorded data on the disk will be erased.
• If the Disk Recorder is set up with the mirroring
function, the replaced Hard Disk is automatically
copying the data from the other disk of the pair after

tions for the system on the Multiscreen Monitor.
