Mount the System
The LH300 Series DVR is designed to mount securely to the
back of LCD monitors with a VESA mount. However, if desired,
you can also leave the DVR in a standard horizontal/vertical
position.
ATTENTION:
You can only mount the EDGE DVR to an LCD
monitor with a VESA mount and an independent stand with
clear access to the mounting holes.
Screw the provided
mounting screws
into the two top
holes in the rear
panel of your LCD
monitor. Make sure
the screws are only
3/4 of the way in; this
will allow sufficient
clearance to hang
the system.
Carefully place the system (front
panel facing up) over the screws
and slide down into place.

USB port on the rear panel of

check and runs an initial loading
sequence. After a few moments, the
