Included in your DVR shipment is a black cable with two USB connections on one end and a wide SATA connection on the
other. This is the AngelTrax Security Key used to connect the DVR’s hard drive to the playback station for reviewing and
downloading data.
Please follow the instructions below to connect the AngelTrax Security Key to your DVR’s hard drive and your playback
station. Refer to the above diagrams for proper connection. If you have any questions, please contact AngelTrax Tech
Support at 334-692-4600 or toll free at 800-673-1788 and ask for Tech Support.
REMOVE HARD DRIVE
Remove the hard drive from the DVR.
CONNECT SECURITY KEY TO HARD DRIVE
Note: The SATA connection must be connected to the hard drive FIRST before connecting the
hard drive to the playback station. The playback station will NOT read the hard drive if the USB
connections are plugged in first.
On the back of the hard drive (the end that connects to the DVR) is a black SATA connector with
two segments, one wide and one narrow. Insert the wide end of the security key cable, labeled
SATA, onto the black bar on the hard drive until it snaps into place.
CONNECT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY USB
Insert the primary USB connection (with long cable) into an available USB port on the playback
station. If an additional USB port is available, insert the secondary USB connection (with short
cable) into the port. This provides extra power to the DVR for a faster hard drive connection to the
playback station.
