2.3. LED Definitions
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs
provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system.
This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any
corrective action you may need to take.
When this LED flashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously it
indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the
airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check
the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are
installed. Finally, verify that the heat sinks are installed properly (see Chapter
5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.
Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.
Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.
Channel activity for all HDDs. This light indicates SATA drive activity on the
NVR2100 when flashing.
Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

Chapter 3. Hardware Installation
3.1. Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the NVR2100 into a rack unit with
the rack rails provided. If the server has already been mounted into a rack, you
can skip ahead to other sections.
3.1.1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You may have received rack rails with the NVR2100. (Two front inner rails
should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear
inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the
preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails are left/right specific.
3.1.2. Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side
of the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square
holes on the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely
attach the rail to the chassis with M4 flat head screws. Repeat these steps to
install the left rear inner rail to the left side of the chassis. You will also need to
attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in
place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming
completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
![](/html/77/77f6/77f690aee855705d8fc8f2d5d2086879c936c1d64b456678007a5e30a81a36d5/bg19.png)

Rails
3.1.3. Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the NVR2100 in the rack. Position the
chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail
guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack
using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the
rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail
guides facing inward.
3.1.4. Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The
next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of
the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the
rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the
locking tabs when inserting).
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".
![](/html/77/77f6/77f690aee855705d8fc8f2d5d2086879c936c1d64b456678007a5e30a81a36d5/bg1a.png)
Figure 3-2 Installing the Server into a Rack
3.1.5. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the chassis into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on
either side of the chassis (four in total). First, determine how far the server will
extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance
the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server,
remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then
the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the
width of the rack.
Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
![](/html/77/77f6/77f690aee855705d8fc8f2d5d2086879c936c1d64b456678007a5e30a81a36d5/bg1b.png)
Figure 3-3 Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
3.2. Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connections
have been made.
3.2.1. Checking the Drives
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. The SATA disk drives can
be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more
SATA drives already installed.
3.2.2. Providing Power
1. Plug the power cord from the power supply unit into a high-quality power
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is
recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
![](/html/77/77f6/77f690aee855705d8fc8f2d5d2086879c936c1d64b456678007a5e30a81a36d5/bg1c.png)
2. Depress the power button on the front of the chassis to power up the
system.
3.3. SATA Drive Carrier LEDs
Each SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive
carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane
enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being
accessed.
Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the
drive is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SATA
drive fails, you should be notified by your system management software.

3.5. Making Network Connections
You do not need to connect other interfaces, such as VGA, mouse/keyboard, etc.
They are reserved for debug purposes. A web-based GUI is provided with the
server by connecting to LAN0 server IP.
LAN1 comes with a default IP: <10.0.0.2> and netmask 255.255.0.0.
Use a LAN cable to connect LAN1 from a laptop to start the initial access and
begin the initial setup such as changing its IP address. Ethernet cables are user-
supplied.
Use quality CAT5e cables.
It is preferred the server shares the same subnet with its clients.
