You need to format disks if they were used in a different device. All data saved on HDD prior to format will be lost.

HDDs Installation
To install the hard disks, unscrew 3 screws on the back of the casing (pointed by arrows), sliding top cover backwards and then lifting it up.

WARNING: !
Before removing cover unplug the power cord from the NVR. When NVR is turned on before disconnecting the power cord, shut down the recorder using the NVR menu. If you use the disk previously used in another device, it is necessary to format it before using. Formatting the drive erase all the data from disk. All drives in the recorder should be exactly the same type.
By default, SATA cables are packed together with DVR accessories, while HDD power cable is connected to the NVR PSU and ready for connecting the HDDs. After removing the housing, unscrew and remove the upper and lower mounting strip for disks by unscrewing the screws on the side of the recorder housing. Then, mount the drives using the mounting screws included with the recorder.

CAUTION!
If the device was brought from a location with lower temperature, please wait until it reaches the temperature of location it is currently in. Turning the device on immediately after bringing it from a location with lower ambient temperature is forbidden, as the condensing water vapour may cause shortcircuits and damage the device as a result.

After removing the housing, mount the disk or disks using the mounting screws (4 pieces per disk). The drives should be screwed in the places marked in the picture below

After screwing the disks, connect the signal and power cables between the disk and the recorder main board.
