X-Series NVR Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The exacqVision X-Series is part of exacqVision's series of network video recorders (NVR). The exacqVision X-Series NVR provides high-
performance hardware with exacqVision surveillance video management software (VMS).
Installation requirements
The X-Series NVR is mountable in a 19 in. (482.6 mm) wide server rack mount system. Before you install the NVR, ensure that you meet the
following requirements:
Mounting, grounding, and operating environment requirements
• Mount the exacqVision server in a dust-free and climate-controlled location where the temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4.5°C to 35°C),
and the humidity level is less than 80% non-condensing.
• If the hard drives dispatch separately to the system, insert each drive into the appropriate hard drive slot in numerical order.
• Ensure that a qualified technician connects the server permanently to the ground wire. Use an 18 AWG wire or larger to make the
connection, and label the grounding screw near the power connector with the following image:
Note: Dust can cause components of the server to overheat, and elevated temperatures can contribute to premature hard drive failures.

Electrical environment requirements
• For maximum reliability, connect the X-Series to an inline UPS. An inline UPS filters power surges and dips that can damage the server.
• Connect a mouse and keyboard to the server.
• Connect the exacqVision server network interface cards (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.
• Ensure that a qualified person replaces the battery.
Network connection requirements
• If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, connect all IP cameras and one server NIC to a dedicated
camera VLAN or dedicated physical camera network. For information on suggested configurations, see
knowledge-base/article/868
• Install the camera manufacturer's software on a PC in this subnet or configure the router to connect a client computer in the camera
subnet. For information on how to configure the network, see
Note: A configuration that isolates the camera traffic reduces the chances of other network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to
cameras.
Installing the server in a rack
The X-Series NVR includes sliding rails for installation in a server rack with square or round unthreaded mounting holes. You can use the rails to
fully extend the system from the rack for service.
Installing the rails
1. In your server rack, choose an appropriate location for the system.
2. Remove the rails from their packaging and find the decal that indicates the front end.
3. On the rack, push the first rail's front pegs into the mounting holes.
