Important Information About Installation
Locations for use/storage
To prolong the life of the product, avoid use or storage
in the following locations.
• Locations that can become extremely hot or cold. (Be
sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the
specifications of this unit.)
• Locations exposed for an extended time to direct
sunlight, and locations near heating appliances. (Note
that the temperature in a closed car in summer can
exceed +50 ºC/+122 ºF.)
• Locations with high levels of humidity or dust
• Locations subject to strong vibrations
• Locations subject to strong magnetic fields
• Locations in the vicinity of radio or TV transmitters
creating a strong magnetic field
Do not block the ventilation openings
• The ventilation openings on the sides of the unit serve
to prevent internal heat buildup. Always leave a
clearance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) on both sides as
well as behind and above the unit.
• Do not use the unit in a closed box or other enclosure.
• Make sure that there are no cables or other objects in
the vicinity of the fan opening on the rear of the unit.
If the opening is blocked, internal heat buildup can
occur, leading to the risk of fire and damage.
• Also when the unit is installed in a rack, you must
make sure that the fan opening on the rear as well as
the ventilation openings on the front are not blocked
by cables or other objects. Do not install the unit in an
environment where the above requirements cannot be
met.
Use the unit in a horizontal position
• The unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position.
• Do not install the unit on a slanted surface, and protect
the unit from shocks.
• When the unit is dropped or otherwise subject to
strong shocks, it can be seriously damaged.
• When installing the unit in a rack, make sure that a
horizontal position is maintained. If the unit is not
properly levelled, malfunction may occur. Also, it is
highly recommended to properly anchor the rack to a
wall or similar, so that it cannot topple over.
Maintenance
• Before cleaning the unit or performing any other kind
of maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
• For cleaning, lightly wipe the cabinet and panels with
a dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, lightly moisten
the cloth with a mild, neutral detergent and wipe with
a dry cloth afterwards.
• Do not use cleaning alcohol, solvents, benzine,
insecticide, or any other volatile substances, because
these may damage the finish and lead to discoloration.
• Dust can accumulate in the ventilation openings on the
front of the unit. When removing the dust, make sure
that you do not subject the unit to shocks or vibrations.
Transport
Use the original packing material or similar packing to
protect the unit from shocks.
Precautions for Products With Built-in
HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely
observe the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use
a type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the
HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered. Also before
removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make sure that
power is off.
• Protect all HDD-equipped devices in the rack from
shocks.
• Before removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make
sure that power to any other HDD-equipped devices in
the rack is also switched off.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
GB
Usage Precautions
3
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface,
make sure that the unit is equipped with the specified
rubber feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there
are no feet, mount the rubber feet first.
Do not place the unit near other devices that may
become a source of vibrations.
Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the
platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the
heads will be in an insecure position. During this
interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and
vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of
at least 30 seconds after turning power off, avoid
subjecting the unit even to very light shocks. After this
period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit
can be manipulated.
Temperature and humidity related precautions
Use and store the unit only in locations where the
specified temperature and humidity ranges are not
exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to
the specifications of this unit.)
When HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be
sure to observe all the above precautions. This will
prevent further damage from occurring until the problem
can be diagnosed and corrected.
Replacement of the HDD and other consumable
parts
The HDD, fan, and battery of the unit are consumable
parts that will need periodic replacement. When
operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about two to three years. However, this
replacement cycle represents only a general guideline
and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts
is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact
your dealer.
Overview
The NSRE-S200 is an expansion storage unit designed
for use with the NSR-1200/1100/1050H Sony network
surveillance server (herein referred to as the NSR-1000
series). Up to seven NSRE-S200 units can be connected
to the NSR-1000 series.
Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for
long periods of time
Equipped with large-capacity hard disks, the unit is
capable recording high-quality images for extended
periods of time. For reference examples, see “Reference
Data for Installation” (page 8).
Slim type (2U), space-saving 19-inch rack
mounting model
With the optional rack mounting kit (sold separately),
the unit can be installed in a standard universal pitch EIA
19-inch rack.
High reliability
The NSRE-S200 supports RAID 5
high reliability. The system can continue functioning
even if one of the hard disks develops a malfunction.
1) RAID 5 is a system for dividing and storing data and parity
(error correcting codes) onto more than one hard disk drive.
Although this system allows continued operation should
one of the hard disks malfunction, it does not guarantee
restoration of lost data. In addition, due to high internal
processing loads during reconstruction after you replace
the malfunctioned hard disk, the unit may not be able to
record images at the configured recording rate while
reconstruction is in progress.
Important
This manual only describes how to install the
NSRE-S200 and how to connect to the NSR-1000
series. For details on configurations required for using
this unit, refer to the Installation Manual or User's Guide
for the NSR-1000 series.

Center, please check the following items. If the problem
persists, contact them.
Specifications
NSRE-S200
The unit does not work.
• Verify that the power switch is turned on.
• Verify that the power cable is connected correctly.
• Make sure the wall outlet has power. Test it by
plugging another device.
• Verify that the hard disk drives are not being accessed
(the HDD LEDs on the front of the recorder do not
blink), and then turn it off forcibly by pressing and
holding the power switch at the rear of the unit for
approximately 10 seconds. Restart the unit.
• During the startup procedure, the unit checks the file
system. The length of this check varies depending on
the amount of data on the unit (in some extreme case,
it can take as long as two hours). During the file
system check, the HDD LEDs on the front of the
recorder blink.
Cannot access the hard disk drive.
• Make sure the hard disk drive is properly inserted.
• Check the HDD LEDs on the front panel of the
system. Identify the defective hard disk drive by
reading the drive LEDs. A defective HDD LED lights
umber.
• Due to rapid flashing during frequent access to the
hard disk drive, the HDD LED may appear unlit in
bright environments.
The unit heats up quickly
• Make sure that nothing is blocking the ventilation
openings on the front, sides, and rear of the unit and
dust has not accumulated in them.
