B. Connect the hard disk data and power cable well 
C. Put the hard disk into support, and align the hard disk’s screw hole with the support. 
D. Fix the hard disk on the support with screw, and cover the DVR.

hard  disk  exists  in  the  equipment,  hard  disk  formatting  information  will  be  shown.  If 
boot-record  mode  is  on,  or  boot  time  is  in  the  setting  time,  the  system  will  start 
automatic recording function, the “REC” indicator will be on to indicate the system is 
working normally.   

Note:   

1.If hard disk is failed to be installed when DVR mainframe is power on, or the newly

directly. For better safety of equipment operation, the administrator can enter system 
“Basic  Settings”  –  “User  Password”  to  change  the  code  and  password  of  this 
equipment.  You  can  set  ordinary  user  password  and  administrator  password,  the 
administrator has all the operating privileges, ordinary users only have limited choices, 
and  they  can  only  monitor  and  video  search/  playback.  (the  mainframe  will  match 
automatically  when  you  enter  password,  and  different  permissions  will  be  given 
according to different passwords).
