Basic Hardware Connection and Startup
Before you can access the system via network, you need to properly power on the server and connect it to network.
Network Connection
Note: Consult your network administrator before installing the server to avoid possible network conflicts.
Use the network port on the rear panel and a network cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect the server to your
system network.
The LAN interfaces of the master board (up) are used for connecting the video management system to the network,
and the LAN interfaces of the secondary board (down) are used for connecting the Blazer Pro Storage Device to
the network.
For the LAN interface of the secondary board (down), the default IP address of LAN 1 is 192.0.0.64 and the
default IP address of LAN 2 is 192.1.0.64.
Output Connection
Connect a VGA cable or HDMI cable to the video out interface (VGA or HDMI) on the server.
Connect the VGA cable or HDMI1 cable to the display unit.
If you need to locally operate the video management system and Blazer Pro Storage Device, please connect the
display units to the master board and secondary board respectively.
Hard Disk Installation
Before you start:
Disconnect the power from the Blazer Pro before installing a hard disk drive (HDD). A factory recommended
HDD should be used for this installation.
Up to 8 SATA hard disks can be installed on your Blazer Pro.
Note: 7 HDDs are used for Blazer Pro Storage Device of secondary board and 1 HDD (upper right corner) is used
for data storage of master board.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.

Peripheral Connections
Wiring of Alarm Input
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. To connect the alarm input to the device, use the following diagram.
Notes:
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay between the alarm input and the
device.
The following figures only for reference, subject to the actual device.
Wiring of Alarm Output
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
DC Load Connection Diagram AC Load Connection Diagram
For DC load, the jumpers can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely.
To connect an AC load, jumpers should be left open (you must remove the jumper on the motherboard in the
Blazer Pro). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.
Example:
If you connect an AC load to the alarm output 3 of the Blazer Pro, then you must remove the JP3.
Using of Alarm Connectors
To connect alarm devices to the Blazer Pro:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.

Quick Start Guide of Blazer Pro
