1.6 Starting Up and Shutting Down the DVR

Purpose:
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the DVR.
Before you start:
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same with the DVR's requirement, and the ground
connection is working properly.
Starting up the DVR:
Steps:
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 indicator LED
on the front panel should be red, indicating the device gets the power supply.
2. Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn green indicating that
the unit begins to start up.
3. After startup, the Power indicator LED remains green. A splash screen with the status of the DSP and
HDD appears on the monitor. The first row of icons at the bottom of the screen shows the DSP status. If
an 'X' is shown on the top of an icon, it means that the DSP initialization has failed. The second row of
icons at the bottom of the screen will show the HDD status. If an 'X' is shown, it means that the HDD is
not installed or cannot be detected.
