Important Safety Instructions

The DX8108-MUX/DX8116-MUX card is installed inside the chassis. To do so, the DX8100 must be taken
offline and shut down before starting the upgrade process. Before continuing with the upgrade procedure,
read these safety instructions.

1. Read the Important Safety Instructions that came with the DX8100. You can access this document
on the Pelco Web site at www.pelco.com, and navigate to Products > Control Site Equipment >
Video Recorders > Digital Video Recorders > DX8100 Series Digital Video Recorders > Documents.

2. The security surveillance service provided by the DX8100 is interrupted when it is taken offline.

3. The unit must be shut down to install the DX8108-MUX/DX8116-MUX card.

4. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket, and then unplug it from the rear of the DVR.

WARNING: It is critical that the DX8100 be unplugged for your safety. You must remove the
power cord because current continues to flow through the unit even when it is off.

5. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

6. Make sure you protect the unit and its components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

7. The currently installed video data drive(s) might contain recorded video. If you are required to
remove a video data drive, label the drive to ensure that the drive is reinstalled in the same location.
