Chapter 2 Installation and Connections
2.1 DVR Installation
During installation of the DVR:
Use brackets for rack mounting.
Ensure ample room for audio and video cables.
When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than
its diameter.
Connect the alarm cable.
Allow at least 2cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
Ensure the DVR is grounded.
Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 to +55º C, +14 to +131º F.
Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% to 90%.
2.2 Hard Disk Installation
Before you start
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the
DVR. A factory recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
One or two SATA hard disks can be installed depending on different models.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
As the installation steps of HDD are similar among different models, here we take the steps of the
DS-7200HQHI as the example.
Step 1 Remove the cover from the DVR by unfastening the screws on the back and side.
