2 Mounting

Installation Check

Open the packing box and check the equipment model, accessory types and quantities to ensure all the components are available. For equipment model, accessory types and quantities, please refer to the packing list.

Installing Hard Disks

For supported hard disk types, consult our authorized sales or technical support staff. The following examples illustrate how to install hard disks on a workbench. The installation process may varies according to conditions.

The following tools are required for installation: flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers.

NVR308-48/24/32/16-IN

The hard drive interface is located inside the device. You need to remove the front panel to install the hard disk. The hard disks are hot-swappable and support mixed insertion. The disks can be powered

on in order to minimize the impulse current produced during the power-on process.

WARNING!

 The hard disk can be hot-plugged only when no data is read

or written. The indicator of hard disk is not blinking when no data is processed.

 Wear anti-static gloves when installing a hard disk.  Insert hard disks into the slots of a running device at an interval of

at least six seconds.

Install a hard disk into the NVR308-48/24-IN as follows:

1. Fix the hard disk with screws to the handle bar on the correct

side.

2. Press the buckles on both sides of the front panel and remove the

panel. Note that the front panel is connected to the device body through an adapter cable and safety rope. Turn over the removed front panel and place it on the chassis.

3. Align the hard disk with the slot and push it in the hard disk gently

and steadily.

4. Push the hard disk in position with your thumb until the buckles

click. Repeat the above steps to install all the hard disks.

5. Hold the buckles on both sides of the front panel and push in the

front panel as the direction indicated by the arrow.

Install the NVR308-32/16-IN as follows:

1. Fix the hard disk to with screws to the handle bar on the correct

side.

2. Press the buckles on both sides of the front panel and remove the

panel.

3. Align the hard disk with the slot and push in the hard disk gently

and steadily.

4. Push the hard disk in position with your thumb until the buckles

click.Repeat the above steps to install all the hard disks.

5. Hold the buckles on both sides of the front panel and push in the

front panel into position.

NVR308-32L/16L/09L-IN

WARNING!

Make sure the equipment is disconnected from the power supply before installation. Please wear anti-static gloves when installing the device.

Install a hard disk as follows:

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two fixing screws on the

upper side of the rear panel.(when rear panel is placed facing you)

2. Gently push the cover backward to open it.

3. Unscrew the four screws on both sides used to secure hard disk

mounting plates, and remove the upper and lower mounting plates.

4. Fix the eight hard disks in turn to the two hard disk mounting

plates with the hard disk interface placed opposite to the U-shaped notch, and each disk with four screws.

5. Put the lower hard disk mounting plate into the equipment, and

connect four data cables to the hard disks and units on the lower layer.

6. Connect four power cables to the hard disks and units on the

lower layer.

7. Tighten the two screws on both sides to fix the lower-layer hard

disks. Follow steps 6 to 9 to install the upper hard disk mounting plate.

8. Arrange cables between two hard disks or between a board and a

hard disk. Avoid placing cables on a hard disk so that the hard disk is not pressed when the chassis is covered.

9. Put on the chassis cover, and tighten the two rear panel screws.

NOTE!

 It is recommended that you restore the hard disk array to factory

settings by choosing Configuration > Service > Storage > Array after installing the eight hard disks for the first time.

 When replacing a hard disk, perform the above procedure in the

opposite sequence to remove the disk and follow the procedure to install a new hard disk.

Installing the Equipment

The equipment provides front, side and back ventilation channels. Leave room of at least 30cm to the front and back and 10cm to the left and right sides of the equipment for ventilation.

Mounting to the Workbench

1. Get the stickers from the foot pads delivered with the equipment,

and attach the pads to the bottom of the equipment where appropriate.

2. Place the equipment on a clean workbench. Now the installation

process is complete.

Mounting into a Cabinet

WARNING!

Ensure that the cabinet is equipped with a tray or slide rail before installing the equipment in a cabinet. The equipment must be supported on a tray or slide rail instead of a suspension loop.

1. As shown in the following figure, place the suspension loop with a

screw hole close to the chassis. Align the suspension loop with the screw hole, and use two M4*8 screws to fasten the suspension loop to the chassis.

2. Perform the same procedure to mount the suspension loop on

the other side of the chassis.

1: Screws (4)

2: Slotted hole

3: Suspension loop

3. Place the equipment on the cabinet support, and slid it into the

cabinet. Fix the suspension loop to the floating nut to the front mounting bar of the cabinet with screws led through the slotted hole.

3: Network cable

Connecting a GroundCable

To ensure personal and equipment safety (lightning protection and resistance against interference), ground the device properly.

The ground cable must not exceed 30m and provides a grounding

resistance of less than 5 Ω. For specific requirements, refer to the

standards for the IEC61024 series.

As shown in the following figure (NVR308-32L/16L/09L-IN, for example), connect one end of the ground cable to the ground terminal of the device and the other end to a reliable grounding point.

1: Ground terminal

2: Ground cable

Connecting a Power Cable

Before connecting a power cable, ensure that the device's power switch is turned off, so as to avoid causing bodily injury or damaging components during the connection.

It is recommended that you use a single-phase three-wire power outlet with a neutral point or a multi-functional microcomputer power outlet. The neutral point must be reliably grounded in the building.

5 Switching On/Off the Device

Check Before Power-On

To avoid bodily injury or damage to components, check the following items before turning off the power.

 The device is firmly and securely installed without any screw left

unscrewed.

 Do not place anything on the device.  All the installed cables are connected correctly.  Use a power supply approved for the device.

Turning on the Device

Plug in the device and turn on the power switch. The device is started when the power indicator on the front panel lights up.

In Soft OFF mode, press the POWER ON/OFF button on the front panel to start the device.

Soft Off

Soft off means a device is turned off to terminate the running processes, so that the device enters power saving mode. It is recommended that you disconnect the device from the power supply when the device is left idle for a long time.

Soft Off Using the POWER ON/OFF Button

Press the POWER ON/OFF button on the front panel and confirm on the man-machine interface to perform soft off. Hold the POWER ON/OFF button for at least 3 seconds to switch off the device.

Soft Off Through Man-Machine Interface

Choose Menu > Maintenance > Shutdown. Click Shutdown to perform soft shutdown after confirmation.

Soft Off Through Web Interface

Choose Maintenance > Device Maintenance > Shutdown. Click Shutdown to perform soft shutdown after confirmation.

WARNING!

In the course of normal operation of the equipment or device is closed, do not disconnect the power while the equipment is running properly or shutting off, so as not to damage the equipment.
