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:
Steps:
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.
2. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel if the device starts up for the first time, or press the button
on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue indicating that the unit begins to start up.
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.
