12 Changing the Hard Drive
The VDC Digital Recorders is supplied with a removable hard drive.
Hard drives are sensitive mechanical devices that may be damaged by shock or vibration. Always handle
with care and when transporting drives, ensure they are well cushioned with suitable padding to protect
them from shock and vibration.
Remove power from the VDC before removing the hard drive. Wait for 30 seconds for the drive to stop
spinning before moving the VDC or removing the hard drive.
The hard drive drawers require a special key to unlock them. Insert the key, and turn it clockwise to unlock
the drive.
To put a hard drive back into the VDC, make sure that the lock in the drive drawer is in the unlocked
position. Carefully slide the drawer in as far as it can go with the handle in the up position. Carefully push the
handle down such that the drawer is pulled into the drive bay. When it is properly located, lock the drawer by
turning the key counter-clockwise.
After changing a drive, re-apply power to the VDC.
