Camera(s)

Connect a network switch to the Gigabit LAN 1 connector at the rear of the MAXPRO NVR SE unit. Connect your 
cameras either to the network switcher or to other Ethernet network connections in your system with CAT5 Ethernet 
cables.

Monitor(s)

The MAXPRO NVR SE comes with a dual graphics card, so two monitors can be connected. A DVI monitor is best-
suited for viewing live video. Connect the monitor to the supplied DMS-59 to dual DVI adapter cable, then connect the 
cable to the DMS-59 connector (2) on the rear panel of the unit. Do not use the HDMI (7) or VGA (6) graphics ports as 
these are disabled. The recommended settings for your monitor are: 1280 x 1024 pixels (resolution), and 65K colors 

non-interlaced (color quality). Refer to the 

MAXPRO

 for more information 

on configuring the monitor display properties.

Keyboard and Mouse

Before powering up the MAXPRO NVR SE, connect the supplied PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the DIN-8 connectors at 
the rear of the unit. 

Keyboard Controller

Follow the documentation that was included with your Keyboard Controller to connect it to the MAXPRO NVR SE unit.

4 Powering Up the Unit

Note

Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the MAXPRO NVR SE unit and 
the cameras. Powering the cameras and unit from a UPS ensures that the MAXPRO NVR SE unit can 
continue to record video during a power outage. If you need to monitor video during a power outage, 
consider a UPS for the monitor as well.

MAXPRO NVR SE Power Up Sequence

1.

Turn on camera(s) and other hardware connected to the MAXPRO NVR SE unit. 

Note

Honeywell recommends that cameras be powered on before the MAXPRO NVR SE unit starts up. It can 
take up to two minutes for IP cameras to boot up. Online cameras can be easily discovered by the unit after 
starting up. It is also recommended to turn on other associated network components such as a network 
switch or router before the MAXPRO NVR SE starts up.

2.

Press and hold the power button on the front of the MAXPRO NVR SE unit (the power button is labelled 

9

 in the 

image below). The power button turns blue after the unit is powered up.

3.

After powering up, you are prompted to log on. The Default user is user name: 

Administrator

, password: 

Password1

. The user name and password are case sensitive.

LEDs, Buttons

Behavior

1

Power Failure LED

Flashing = Indicates a power failure in the power supply.

2

Overheat/Fan 
Failure LED

Flashing = Indicates a fan failure.

Continuously on = Indicates the temperature has exceeded the threshold. This may be 
caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature 
being too warm. Check the cable routing and make sure all fans are present and 
operating normally. You should also check that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, 
verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. The LED will continue to flash or be on as 
long as the overheat condition exists.

3

NIC2 LED

Flashing = There is network activity on GLAN2.

4

NIC1 LED

Flashing = There is network activity on GLAN1.

5

HDD LED

Flashing = Indicates IDE channel activity in the SAS/SATA drive, SCSI drive and/or DVD-
ROM drive.

6

Power LED

On = Indicates power is being supplied to the system’s power supply units. This LED 
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

7

Reset Button

Press to reboot the system.

8

Power Button

The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the 
server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but 
keeps standby power supplied to the system. 

Therefore, you must unplug the system 

before servicing

HDD Activity/Failure 
LEDs

Green = Indicates drive activity. 

Red = Indicates a drive failure. If a drive fails you should be notified by your system 
management software.
