Adding HDDs
This system allows you to mount up to 6 hard drives, and you can mount up to 4 hard drive drives by
default using two hard drive connection cables.
To mount 6 hard drives, insert a hard drive extension card into the EXT0 or EXT1.
The hard drive extension card supports the connection of two hard drive cables, allowing you to mount
the additional two hard drives.
You can connect two hard drives with one hard drive connection cable, and the configurations of hard
drives should be master and slave respectively.
There are totally 6 HDD bays, each 3 HDD bays in the left and right side.
Because the jumper settings depend on the manufacturer or model, please refer to the
jumper settings marked on the front side of the hard drive you want to add.

Adding HDDs
1) Ensure that the DVR is powered off and the power cord is disconnected before installing HDDs.
2) Before setting HDDs, connect your body to the ground or touch a metallic object once. This may
decrease the static electricity around your body. The static electricity may cause a failure of the
device.
3) After HDDs are installed, do not switch on the power before replacing the top cover. You should
not use the DVR with the top cover off.
