Rack Mount Instructions
A) Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due
to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given
to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Notes on Handling
Notes on Maintenance
When shipping the NVR unit, the original shipping carton
packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection,
repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
This NVR unit is designed to last for long periods of time. To keep
your NVR unit always operational we recommend regular inspection
maintenance (cleaning parts or replacement). For details contact
your nearest dealer.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the NVR
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
NVR unit for long periods of time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the NVR unit. Please read the
following carefully.
The top and rear panels of the NVR unit may become warm
after long periods of use. This is not a malfunction.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
When you bring the NVR unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
Notes on Locating
Place the NVR unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky
or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand.
When you use the NVR unit in a room where you just turned on
the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
When you place this NVR unit next to a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be
distorted. In this case, place the NVR unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
In the summer, when you use the NVR unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
When you use the NVR unit in a humid place.
Notes on Cleaning
Use a soft dry cloth for cleaning.
Do not use the NVR unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution,
wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzene,
as they may damage the surface of the NVR unit.
If you use the NVR unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and
internal parts. Remove any CD discs, connect the power cord of the
NVR unit to the wall outlet, turn on the NVR unit, and leave it for two
to three hours. After two to three hours, the NVR unit will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the NVR unit
connected to the wall and moisture will seldom occur.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow
that product’s instructions.

KEYBOARD SETUP
To attach the keyboard to the NVR unit, plug the end of the Keyboard into the keyboard PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine.
The keyboard PS/2 Port can be identified by the purple color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.
MOUSE SETUP
To attach the mouse to the NVR unit, plug the end of the mouse into the mouse PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The
mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the green color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.
The mouse uses a cursor. Cursors come in many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.
Your mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called clicking.
Sometimes you will need to double-click – or click the same button twice quickly.
In this manual, click means to position your mouse cursor on an icon and to single click the left button. When a right click is required,
this is stated clearly. Double-click also refers to the left button.
The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling capability. By simply moving the wheel with your index
finger, you can quickly move through multiple pages, line, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing you to
quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
To fully utilize the NVR unit’s potential, several optional Surveillix components are listed below. Contact your dealer for more
information.
•
•
•
Extra Video Storage Hard Drive – Each NVR unit has a virtually unlimited storage potential. By adding additional Video Data
Hard Drives you can extend the amount of Video Data your NVR system can store before overwriting older data.
NP-FM56USB 56K External Modem – This 56K modem allows you to connect the NVR to a standard phone line. Using this
modem, you can either connect the unit to the Internet or allow a direct NVR to computer connection.
PW-UPS
UPS Power Backup – UPS Power Backups allow your NVR unit to remain fully functional even in the event of a
power failure. UPS Power Backups also even the fluctuating power current out to provide a consistent, reliable power flow. This
creates a stable environment for the NVR unit and reduces failure.
•
•
NP-4PKVM
4 Channel KVM Switch – The 4 Channel KVM switch allows you to have multiple boxes (up to 4) using only
one keyboard, mouse and monitor. You can simply switch between the NVR units using the keyboard.
Hot Swappable Redundant Power Supplies – Every NVR and EVR has the option of a dual redundant hot swappable power
supply. In the event of a component failure the inoperable power supply may be removed leaving the NVR running so no break in
recording occurs. Simply replace the power supply with a new one and you are finished.
•
Raid Controller – A raid controller is available for increased performance or data reliability.
