Appendix 1: Installing the HDD  
NOTE: The HDD has the same purpose in a DXR116 as a video cassette does in a VCR. However, installing the HDD is a  
bit more complicated. Please follow the next steps carefully in order to ensure proper installation.  
The compartment (with the handle) located on the front panel of the DXR116 is the removable Cartridge Casing where the  
HDD is inserted. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.  
Cartridge Casing  
1. Keyhole  
2. LED indicator lights (Power indicator & HDD Access indicator)  
3. Handle  
Step 1: Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DXR116  
Lift the Handle and pull towards you. The Cartridge Casing will slide out of the DXR116.  
NOTE: The Cartridge must be unlocked to remove it, (please see step 8 for more information on locking and unlocking the  
removable HDD cartridge).  
Step 2: Remove the Cover from the Cartridge Casing  
Step 3: Unclip the release latch with the word “OPEN” printed beside it by gently pushing on the latch.  
Step 4: Slide the cover off the Cartridge Casing.  
Step 5: Insert the HDD into the Cartridge Casing  
Take the Hard Disk Drive and connect the two cables from the back of the Cartridge Casing to the HDD.  
The cables should be pushed in firmly, but not forcibly.  
Note: When using more than 1 HDD, configure the jumpers on the HDD so one is selected ad the Master, and the other as  
Slave, OR configure the jumpers on the HD for CS (Cable Select), and the DVR 116 will do this automatically.  
The jumper settings for Master / Slave / Cable Select are usually labeled on the top side of the HDD and the location  
of the jumpers can usually be found beside the cable connector on the HDD

Step 6: Secure the HDD in the cartridge casing.  
Position the HDD into place and secure it using the six screws supplied.  
Step 7: Slide the top Cover over the Cartridge Casing  
Slide the Cover forward over the Cartridge Case. Ensure it is secured in place over the release latch.  
Reinsert the Cartridge Casing into the DXR116  
Step 8: Lock the Cartridge  
To Lock the cabinet, turn the key clockwise to Position A.
