Permanently Removing the DVR Expander
Under normal operating conditions, there is no reason to remove the DVR Expander. Removing the DVR
Expander does not allow you to play your recordings on a different DVR. Because each recording is distributed
equally between the DVR’s internal drive and the DVR Expander, you cannot gain additional storage by using
more than one DVR Expander. You should only remove the DVR Expander if you wish to stop using it.
1. Power off the compatible TiVo ® DVR by disconnecting the AC power cord.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter cord and eSATA cable from the DVR Expander.
3. Plug in the DVR's power cord and follow the onscreen instructions.
Temporarily Disconnecting the DVR Expander
Follow these instructions when temporarily disconnecting the DVR Expander (to clean or move your
entertainment center, for example).
1. Power off the compatible TiVo ® DVR by disconnecting the AC power cord.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter cord and eSATA cable from the DVR Expander.
Reconnecting the DVR Expander after Temporary Disconnection
1. Reconnect the AC adapter cord and eSATA cable to the DVR Expander.
2. Power on the TiVo
® DVR by reattaching the AC power cord.
CAUTION: If you permanently remove the DVR Expander, you will lose all or most of your existing recordings
on both the DVR and the DVR Expander.
CAUTION: Always unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before disconnecting the AC adapter
from the DVR Expander.
