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:
Step 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

Step 2 Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue
indicating that the unit begins to start up.

status. 'X' means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be detected.
