Moxa MxNVR Industrial Video Recorder 

Getting Started 

 

3-4 

 

5.

 

Remove the protective membrane of the thermal pad located on the bottom of the HDD tray. 

 

6.

 

Push the HDD tray back into the MxNVR-MO4, and then fix the 2 thumbscrews to complete the installation. 

 

NOTE 

When pushing the HDD tray back into MxNVR-MO4, please be careful not to damage the SATA cable. 

 

 

NOTE 

The MxNVR-MO4 is designed for high-vibration environments. For best results when using a normal 2.5 inch 
hard disk, we recommend the Toshiba MK series 2.5-inch hard disk. The 2.5-inch hard disk used in the 
MxNVR-MO4 to pass the vibration criteria of EN/IEC 61373 was the Toshiba MK10596SM (1 TB). 

 

 

NOTE 

For using MxNVR-MO4-T in -40 to -75°C environments, a SSD (solid state disk) with -40 to 75°C operating 
temperature capability is required. The SSD installed in the MxNVR-MO4 used to pass the -40 to 75°C operating 
temperature tests was an Intel SSD. 

 

Step 5:  Configure the MxNVR-MO4’s IP address 

After powering on the MxNVR-MO4, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The STAT LED 
turns green to indicate that the POST process has completed. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 
100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks. The IP address assigned after the POST is completed depends on the network 
environment. 

Network Environment with a DHCP Server 

In this case, the IP address of the MxNVR-MO4 is assigned by a DHCP Server. Use the DHCP Server’s IP address 
table, or use the Moxa MxNVR-MO4 utility to determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP Server. 

NOTE 

After powering on the MxNVR-MO4, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The IP 
address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks. 

 

Using the 

Moxa Ethernet Switch And Video Server Configuration Utility (edscfgui.exe

), as described 

below: 

1.

 

Run the 

edscfgui.exe 

program to search for the MxNVR-MO4 and EDS switches. After the Utility window 

opens, you may also select or click on Broadcast Search, which is located under the List Server menu, to 
initiate a search (note that you can also click on the Broadcast Search icon 

  to initiate a search.
