• One (1) Hard Disk keys
• One (1) Null Serial Cable (DB-9F Æ DB-9F)

Power Supply Settings
The DVMHD is compatible with the 115VAC and 230VAC international power
standards. The DVMHD’s internal supply is auto-sensing, so there is no need to
set any external switches.
Power-up Operation
To turn on the DVMHD, complete the following procedures.
1. Plug the DVMHD into a standard wall outlet using the Line Cord.
2. Move the Power Switch to the ON (“|”) position (located next to line
cord connection).
3. The green front-panel indicator will blink to indicate that the DVMHD
is booting.
4. After approximately 45 seconds, the green, yellow and red indicators
will blink in succession, indicating that the DVMHD has completed the
boot process and is ready for commands.
NOTE: If step 4 does not occur, the DVMHD has experienced a serious error.
To determine the cause, connect a VGA compliant monitor to the VGA output
located next to the RS-232 connector. If you are unable to correct the error
based on the on-screen information, please contact your Alcorn McBride
distributor for technical support.
