Mode	switch
Communication between the recorder and a system device using PS·Data can be performed by RS 485 inte\
rface. Devices on 
both ends of the RS485 connection are necessary to be terminated. 
The mode switch setting differs depending on whether to use the recorder as a receiver or a system controller.
When connecting RS485 cameras to the recorder, devices on both ends of the connection are necessary to be terminated.

Install the HDD units
Install the HDD units by referring the disk slot number.
Detach the front cover in advance. (+ Page 21)
    
Install/remove	HDD	units
Step 1
Remove the HDD unit brace.
Step 2
Install the HDD units by referring the disk slot number.
  (1)  Lift the lever on the HDD unit while holding down the 
removal knob, and then insert the HDD unit all the way 
into the HDD slot.
  (2)  Pinch the rim on the HDD slot with the hook on the HDD 
unit securely.
      (3)  Press the lever down and push it until the removal knob 
clicks.
Important:
	 •	 Keep	the	removed	HDD	unit	brace	securely.	When	trans- porting the recorder, it is necessary to attach it.
	 •	 Hard	disk	drives	are	precise	devices.	Handle	with	care	 while keeping the following in mind.
	 •	 Do	not	subject	the	hard	disk	drive	to	any	vibration	or	 impact.
    Before touching the hard disk drive, eliminate static elec-
tricity by touching a steel locker, etc. When holding the 
hard disk drive, hold the both sides of the hard disk 
drive.
	 •	 Do	not	touch	the	circuit	board	or	the	connectors	to	pre- vent the hard disk drive from damaging by static electric-
ity.
	 •	 Contact	your	dealer	for	hard	disk	drives	that	works	on	 the recorder. Please be forewarned that operation with 
any hard disk drive other than the specified models is 
not guaranteed under any circumstances.
	 •	 When	using	multiple	hard	disk	drives,	use	the	same	 model.
    If different models are used together, even when the 
capacities of them are the same, the available capacity 
may be a few percent smaller.
	 •	 Install	the	hard	disk	drives	one	by	one	in	order	starting	 from HDD1.(The leftmost slot of the HDD slots is HDD1 
and the rightmost one is HDD4.)
	 •	 Once	the	operation	has	started	in	the	RAID	5	or	RAID	6	 mode, do not change the positions of the HDD units. If 
they are changed, it may become impossible to read 
recorded data.

drives.
	 •	 Refer	to	the	operating	instructions	of	the	extension	unit	 for how to install the HDD units on the extension unit.
 
Remove the HDD unit
Step 1
Remove the HDD unit brace. (+ Page 52)
Before removing an HDD unit, turn off the power of the 
recorder (+ page 55) or the power of the HDD unit to be 
removed (+ page 133). 
Step 2
  (1)  Pull the lever while holding down the removal knob on 
the HDD unit.
  (2)  Pull the HDD unit out from the HDD slot while holding 
the lever. Pull the HDD unit out carefully so as not to 
drop it and handle it gently so as not to give it a shock or 
vibration.
    
Install a hard disk drive into an 
HDD canister
To install a hard disk drive in the recorder, it is necessary to 
assemble an HDD unit (encase the hard disk drive in the 
HDD canister). Step 1
Fix both sides of the hard disk drive with the dedicated HDD 
canister using the 4 provided screws for HDD canister instal-
lation.
Tightening torque for the screws: 0.49 N·m {0.36 lbf·ft} (use 
a low-torque powered screwdriver or a torque screwdriver)
Step 2
Fix the bottom of the hard disk drive with the HDD canister 
using the 2 provided screws for HDD canister installation.
Tightening torque for the screws: 0.49 N·m {0.36 lbf·ft} (use 
a low-torque powered screwdriver or a torque screwdriver)
Important:
	 •	 When	installing	hard	disk	drives,	use	a	low-torque	pow- ered screwdriver or a torque screwdriver to tighten 
screws with the specified torque.
Note:
	 •	 Hard	disk	drives	are	locally	procured.	Contact	your	deal- er for purchasing, installing, and replacing the hard disk 
drives.

Step 3
Determine the operational mode using the [RAID] switch. S: Single mode (default)
R5: RAID 5 mode
R6: RAID 6 mode
Step 4
When an extension unit is connected, boot the extension 
unit first before booting the recorder.
    Step 5

ton.
  →  When the recorder is booted, the setting will be applied, 
and the hard disk drives will be automatically formatted. 
Hold down the [USE] button until the buzzer start sound-
ing.
Important:
	 •	 Do	not	change	the	operational	mode	of	the	hard	disk	 drives after running the system. Once the operation has 
started in the RAID 5 or RAID 6 mode, do not change 
the positions of the HDD units. If it is changed, it may 
become impossible to read recorded data correctly.
  Note:
	 •	 The	RAID	5	mode	is	operable	only	when	3	or	more	hard	 disk drives are installed in the recorder. The RAID 6 
mode is operable only when 4 or more hard disk drives 
are installed in the recorder.
	 •	 When	using	an	extension	unit,	change	the	operational	 mode after connecting it to the recorder.
 
Step 6
After the recorder is booted, attach the front cover to the 
recorder. (+  Page 21)
