2. Remove the cable from the front panel.
3. Remove the screws fixing the mounting unit, and then
pull the hard disk drive mounting angle toward you.
Only the upper and lower holes on both sides will be
used when fixing by screws even though there are 3
holes each on both sides.
4. Remove the four screws fixing the upper hard disk
drive.
When removing, hold the hard disk drive securely to
prevent it from falling.
Then, detach the flat cable from the hard disk drive and
detach the hard disk drive from the hard disk mounting
angle.5. Detach the flat cable and the power supply cable from
the hard disk drive. Detach the flat cable only from the
hard disk drive. (Do not detach the flat cable from the
circuit board.)
When pulling the flat cable to detach from the hard disk
drive, hold the pull-ring on the connector, not cable.
Otherwise, it may cause breaking of wire.
After detaching the cables, remove the screw on point
A.
Then, remove the four screws fixing the lower hard disk
drive.
When removing, hold the hard disk drive securely to
prevent it from falling.
After removing the four screws, detach the hard disk
drive from the hard disk drive mounting angle.
6. Install the new hard disk drive in the reverse order used
for detaching the hard disk drive.
Confirm that the hard disk drive is set as master using
the jumper connector.
Important:
•When installing, confirm that there is no dust around the
connectors. Adhesion of dust may cause malfunction.
•The jumper connector setting differs depending on the
models or the manufacturers. Refer to the indication
label or the operating instructions of the used hard disk
drive.
•Attach the connector and the screws firmly. Otherwise,
it may cause problems.

Important:
•It is impossible to operate the unit when there is a hard
disk with indications of * (capacity), * (ERROR), LOST
or ERROR. In this case, remove the relevant hard disk.
(Refer to page 151.)
•Hard disks with ADD (capacity) indication are not initial-
ized yet.
First, initialize them. It is impossible to record images on

Summary of the RAID 5 function (Redundant
Arrays for Independent Disks, independent
data disks with distributed parity blocks)
It is possible to use the RAID 5 function with an optional
extension unit.
RAID level 5 regards 3 or more drives as one drive, and it is
possible to read data by attaching error correction data
even though one of the drives is broken automatically. (It is
impossible to recover data if two drives are simultaneously
damaged or the second drive fails during the data recovery
process.)
RAID level 5 requires a minimum of 3 drives to implement.
When using the RAID function, the logical disk size of the
extension unit will be as below.
Logical disk size = Smallest size of the disk among the
disks in the extension unit x (Number of the disks in the
extension unit - 1)
Note:Depending on the model of a hard disk drive, the
logical disk size may be a few percent smaller than the
size resulting from the formula above.
Important:
•When connecting two extension units or more with this
unit, it is impossible to connect the extension unit with
the RAID 5 function and the one without the RAID 5
function at the same time.
•When the RAID 5 function is used, it is impossible to
use two hard disks in this unit. The recorded pictures in
those disks will not be deleted.
RAID 5 Function of the Extension Unit
Setup/cancel the RAID 5 function
Do the following to set or cancel the RAID 5 function with an

To cancel the RAID 5 function, set the mode switch of
the extension unit to SINGLE.
cMake sure that the HDD POWER switch of the extension
unit is ON.
vTurn the power of the extension unit on.
bTurn the power of this unit on.
→The HDD DISK MENU will be displayed automati-
cally after the system check when the hard disk
configuration has been changed such as when an
extension unit is newly connected.
Important:
•When the RAID 5 function is set or canceled, all data on
each hard disk of the extension unit will be deleted.
•When turning the power on, turn on the power of the
extension unit first, and then turn the power of this unit
on. Otherwise, the extension unit may not work correct-
ly.

Mirroring is the function that records camera images onto
two hard disks simultaneously. In case one hard disk has a
problem, image data will be stored on the other hard disk.

first use of this unit.
When the mirroring function is activated with remaining
recorded images in the hard disk, those recorded images
in the hard disk will be deleted.
Important:
•The mirroring function can be configured only by two of
the built-in hard disks.
•The size of the two hard disks used for the mirroring
function must be the same.
•When using the RAID 5 function, it is impossible to acti-
vate the mirroring function.
