NVR Pre-Installation
The DS-7600NI-SE, DS-7600NI-SE/N, DS-7600NI-SE/P, DS-7600NI-V, and DS-7600NI-VP series NVR are
highly advanced surveillance equipment that should be installed with care. Please take into consideration the
following precautionary steps before installation of the NVR.
1. Keep all liquids away from the NVR.
2. Install the NVR in a well-ventilated and dust-free area.
3. Ensure environmental conditions meet factory specifications.
4. Install a manufacturer recommended HDD.
NVR Installation
During the installation of the NVR:
1. Use brackets for rack mounting.
2. Ensure there is ample room for audio and video cables.
3. When installing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
4. Connect both the alarm and RS-485 cable.
5. Allow at least 2cm (~0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
6. Ensure the NVR is grounded.
7. Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 ºC ~ 55 ºC , 14ºF ~ 131ºF.
8. Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% ~ 90%.
Hard Disk Installation
Before you start:
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the NVR. A factory
recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
Up to 2 SATA hard disks can be installed on your NVR.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
Steps (for DS-7600NI-SE, DS-7600NI-SE/N and DS-7600NI-SE/P):
Note: The installation steps of DS-7600NI-SE/N and DS-7600NI-SE/P are the same as DS-7604/08NI-SE, so we
take the installation steps of DS-7604NI-SE as example.
1. Remove the cover from the NVR by unfastening the screws on the back and side.

2. Connect one end of the data cable to the motherboard of NVR and the other end to the HDD.
3. Connect the power cable to the HDD.
4. Place the HDD on the bottom of the device and then fasten the screws on the bottom
to fix the HDD.

5. Re-install the cover of the NVR and fasten screws.
Steps (for DS-7600NI-V and DS-7600NI-VP):
1. Fasten the hard disk mounting handle to the hard disk with screws.
2. Insert the key and turn in clockwise direction to open the panel lock.
3. Open the front panel.
4. Insert the hard disk along the slot until it is placed into position.
