INSTALLATION OF THE HARD DISK DRIVE
IN THE DXR4280UQ (80 GB HDD)
The HDD serves the same purpose in a DVR as a video cassette does in a VCR.
However, installing the HDD is a bit more complicated. Please follow the next steps
carefully in order to ensure proper installation.
The compartment located on the front panel of the DVR is the removable Cartridge Casing in which you
insert the HDD. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.
