• 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.

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.
Precautions for using USB devices
• This unit supports standard USB 2.0 Mass Storage
devices. Depending on the type of USB 2.0 Mass
Storage device, however, errors may occur when
writing data to the device. If errors occur when writing
data, use a USB flash memory device of a different
type.
• To ensure proper operation of USB devices, do not
connect the devices via a USB hub. Connect the
devices directly to the USB connectors on the unit.
Operation is not guaranteed when devices are
connected via a USB hub, USB switch, or extension
cable.
Protect data from power interruptions
If the power supply is interrupted while the unit is in
operation, data may be damaged. Always use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect data.

Overview
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.
Other features
• Custom layout support allows you to display images
in a variety of different layouts in addition to standard
2 × 2 and 3 × 3 layouts.
