Using My DVR Expander with Scientific Atlanta DVRs
Connecting the DVR Expander to a DVR
1. Check the recording space on your digital video recorder (DVR). Write down the percentage of used and
available space, then power off the DVR and disconnect its power cord.
2. Connect the AC adapter cord to the DVR Expander and electrical outlet as shown below. The power LED
illuminates.
3. Connect the eSATA cable to the DVR Expander and DVR.
4. Power on the DVR.
5. Check the recording space on your DVR. If the DVR Expander was detected properly by the DVR, the
percentage of used space should be decreased and the percentage of available space should be increased.
If the DVR Expander was not detected properly, disconnect the drive as described in “Disconnecting the
DVR Expander” in the next section then repeat the steps above.
