1.6 Starting Up and Shutting Down the DVR
Purpose:
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the DVR.
Before you start:
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same with the DVR’s requirement, and the ground
connection is working properly.
Starting up the DVR
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, and the Power indicator LED should turn yellow indicating
that the unit begins to start up.
3. After startup, the Power indicator LED remains yellow. A splash screen with the status of the HDD
appears on the monitor. The row of icons at the bottom of the screen will show the HDD status. If an ‘X’
is shown, it means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be detected.
