Camera(s)
Connect a network switch to the Gigabit LAN 1 connector at the rear of the MAXPRO NVR SE unit. Connect your
cameras either to the network switcher or to other Ethernet network connections in your system with CAT5 Ethernet
cables.
Monitor(s)
The MAXPRO NVR SE comes with a dual graphics card, so two monitors can be connected. A DVI monitor is best-
suited for viewing live video. Connect the monitor to the supplied DMS-59 to dual DVI adapter cable, then connect the
cable to the DMS-59 connector (2) on the rear panel of the unit. Do not use the HDMI (7) or VGA (6) graphics ports as
these are disabled. The recommended settings for your monitor are: 1280 x 1024 pixels (resolution), and 65K colors
non-interlaced (color quality). Refer to the MAXPRO®NVR Commissioning and Installation Guide for more information
on configuring the monitor display properties.
Keyboard and Mouse
Before powering up the MAXPRO NVR SE, connect the supplied PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the DIN-8 connectors at
the rear of the unit.
Keyboard Controller
Follow the documentation that was included with your Keyboard Controller to connect it to the MAXPRO NVR SE unit.
4 Powering Up the Unit
Note Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the MAXPRO NVR SE unit and
the cameras. Powering the cameras and unit from a UPS ensures that the MAXPRO NVR SE unit can
continue to record video during a power outage. If you need to monitor video during a power outage,
consider a UPS for the monitor as well.
MAXPRO NVR SE Power Up Sequence
1. Turn on camera(s) and other hardware connected to the MAXPRO NVR SE unit.
Note Honeywell recommends that cameras be powered on before the MAXPRO NVR SE unit starts up. It can
take up to two minutes for IP cameras to boot up. Online cameras can be easily discovered by the unit after
starting up. It is also recommended to turn on other associated network components such as a network
switch or router before the MAXPRO NVR SE starts up.
2. Press and hold the power button on the front of the MAXPRO NVR SE unit (the power button is labelled 9in the
image below). The power button turns blue after the unit is powered up.
3. After powering up, you are prompted to log on. The Default user is user name: Administrator, password:
Password1. The user name and password are case sensitive.

No. LEDs, Buttons Behavior
1Power Failure LED Flashing = Indicates a power failure in the power supply.
2Overheat/Fan
Failure LED Flashing = Indicates a fan failure.
Continuously on = Indicates the temperature has exceeded the threshold. This may be
caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature
being too warm. Check the cable routing and make sure all fans are present and
operating normally. You should also check that the chassis covers are installed. Finally,
verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. The LED will continue to flash or be on as
long as the overheat condition exists.
3NIC2 LED Flashing = There is network activity on GLAN2.
4NIC1 LED Flashing = There is network activity on GLAN1.
5HDD LED Flashing = Indicates IDE channel activity in the SAS/SATA drive, SCSI drive and/or DVD-
ROM drive.
6Power LED On = Indicates power is being supplied to the system’s power supply units. This LED
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
7Reset Button Press to reboot the system.
8Power Button The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the
server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but
keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug the system
before servicing.
