2.1.1 Starting Up and Shutting Down the NVR
Purpose:
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the NVR.
Before you start:
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same with the NVR’s requirement, and the
ground connection is working properly.
Starting up the NVR:
Step 1 Check the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the device. The Power
indicator LED on the front panel should be red, indicating the device gets the power supply.
Step 2 Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue
indicating that the unit begins to start up.
Step 3 After startup, the Power indicator LED remains blue. A splash screen with the status of the
HDD appears on the monitor. The row of icons at the bottom of the screen shows the HDD
status. ‘X’ means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be detected.
