2. HDD Installation
Two HDDs can be installed in NV-DVR1004 and NV-DVR1004NET Digital Multiplexers. One of
these disks can be installed inside the device, second might be placed in swappable bay.
WARNING: Producer advices utilizing Maxtor or Hitachi HDDs.
Max. allowed capacity of single HDD is 400GB.
Before installing HDD please make sure that jumpers are set properly!
In the event of using only one HDD it must be set as MASTER. In the event of two HDD, one of them
must be set in MASTER mode and the second in S AVE mode. HDD configuration of specified type
and manufacturer is described in the HDD manual supplied with the HDD.
2. .1 Swappable bay HDD installation
Before installation disconnect power supply cord.
Place the properly set HDD in swappable bay and then screw it to the casing utilizing 4 supplied
screws. Place the swappable bay in the Multiplexer and close it with the key, attached in the package.
2.4.2 Internal HDD installation (inside the DVR)
WARNING!
Internal HDD should be installed by qualified service personnel.
The housing of the Multiplexer can be opened only for internal HDD installing according to the
