Appendix 7: Replacing the Hard Drive

Appendix 7: Replacing the Hard Drive
The system comes with a pre-installed, security grade, SATA hard drive. You can expand your
system's storage capacity by replacing the built-in HDD with a larger SATA hard drive
(maximum 1000 GB*).
Note: Before changing the hard drive, make sure to power off the system by disconnecting
the power cable from the system.
Removing the installed hard drive
To remove the installed hard drive:
1. Remove the screws from the hard
drive cover on the back of the system.
2. Carefully remove the hard drive from
the system.
3. Disconnect the cable from the hard
drive.
4. Remove the four mounting screws
and carefully slide the hard drive from
the metal casing.
Installing the new hard drive
To install the new hard drive:
1. Carefully slide the new hard drive into the metal casing (label side down), and reattach the
four mounting screws.
2. Connect the cable to the hard drive. Make sure that the cable is securely connected within
the system and to the hard drive.
3. Carefully put the hard drive in the unit. Gently slide the hard drive in place and line up the
holes for the screws.
4. Reattach the screws firmly, locking the hard drive in place. The hard drive should be flush
with the rear panel of the system.
5. Reconnect the power cable to the system.
Formatting the hard drive
You must format the new hard drive prior to recording.
If a new hard drive is detected, the system will prompt you to format the drive. If you do not
format the hard drive, it will not function properly with the system.
Note: If you format the hard drive to use in your system, it can no longer be used in a PC.
*1000 Gigabytes (GB) = 1 Terabyte (TB).
