Note:
The VCN520 or VCN540 has two USB interfaces: USB2.0 and USB3.0 interfaces. Both USB
interfaces can connect to USB flash drives and USB mice. However, the USB3.0 can connect to
removable hard disks while the USB2.0 cannot.

5.1 Disk Installation
Push the hard disk into the slot along the disk guide rail until the hard disk locks into the place, as
shown in step 3 in the following figure.

3
Lower the ejector lever to ensure that the hard disk is completely in the subrack, as shown in step 4
in the following figure.
Use a screwdriver to fasten the new hard disk onto the front panel, as shown in step 1 and step 2 in
the following figure.

Note
By default, the VCN520 or VCN540 does not carry disks when being delivered. First install disks
and then install the device on the desktop, or in a cabinet.
After the VCN520 or VCN540 is delivered to the site, disk filler panels are installed in slots where
disks are not installed, by default. You are not advised to remove the filler panels from the slots
where disks are not installed, because removing the filler panels will affect the heat dissipation of
fans and generate some noises.
Note: Before closing the disk ejector level, ensure that the disk has been pushed into the subrack and
cannot be moved. Otherwise, after the ejector level is closed, the disk cannot be completely
pushed into the subrack, resulting in incorrect disk installation.

First confirm the installation location of the guide rail in the cabinet. Install the floating nuts used to fix the
guide rail in the installation location. There are two and three floating nuts at the front and rear of the
cabinet respectively, as shown in the lower left figure.

For details about how to install floating nuts, see the lower right figure. As shown in step 1 in the
lower-right figure, insert one leg of the floating nut into the square holefrom inside of the cabinet,
so that the leg hooks over the lower frame of the square hole. Asshown in step 2 in the lower-right
figure, use the floating nut hook to catch the other leg of thefloating nut. Pull the hook forward until
the leg hooks over the upper frame of the square hole.

5.3.1 Single-Device Deployment Scenario
Note:
Before installing the VCN520 or VCN540 in the cabinet, install the mapping guide rail to bear the
device. If a guide rail has been installed in the cabinet, check whether the guide rail matches the
device. The device is equipped with right-to-left airflow. Therefore, check whether the guide rail
may block the air exhaust vent. If yes, replace the guide rail with a matched one.
Huawei provides the guide rail for the VCN. The stretching range of the guide rail ranges from
500 mm to 800 mm, which is used for cabinet installation when the distance between the front and
rear mounting bars is within the range. You need to purchase the guide rail based on the site
requirements.
When the VCN is installed in a cabinet, do not install the rubber foot which will occupy the cabinet
space.

Install the guide rail. Horizontally place the guide rail to the installation location through the positioning block
at the front of the guide rail and the positioning hook at the rear of the guide rail, as shown in the lower left
figure. Use four M6 screws (two on each side) to fix the front end and six M6 screws (three on each side)
to fix the rear end, as shown in the lower right figure.

Note: Before installing the guide rail, you can view the mark (F/L, F/R) on the guide rail to differentiate
the left, right, front, rear ends of the guide rail to avoid reverse installation. F/L indicates the front end
of the guide rail on the left side. F/R indicates the front end of the guide rail on the right side.

Install mounting ears. Take eight M4*6 screws. Use four screws to configure one mounting
ear on the left of the front panel and the same way to configure the other ones on the right side.
Then use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the screws to fix the mounting ears, as shown in the
following figure.
Install the filler panel of the guide rail. Install the M6 screws used to fix the filler panel of the guide rail,
as shown in the following figure.

Install the floating nuts used to fix the VCN520/VCN540. The floating nuts are installed in the first
and sixth holes along the guide rail from bottom to up.

Install the VCN520/VCN540 in the cabinet. Carry the device to install from both sides. Slowly move
it to the front of the cabinet.Lift the subrack to a position higher than the slide rail . Gently place the
subrack on the slide rail and push it into the cabinet along the slide rail, as shown in the lower-left
figure. Keep pushing the subrack until the mounting ears of the subrack are close to the mounting
bar at the front of the cabinet.

8
Connect the M6 screws (prepared by users) through the holes of the mounting ears. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the M6 screws on the mounting ears. Use two M6 screws to configure each
mounting ear. Separately secure the mounting ears on both sides of the subrack on the mounting
bar at the front of the cabinet, as shown in the lower-right figure.

5.3.2 Multi-Device Deployment Scenario
Note
When multiple VCN520s or VCN540s are deployed, a guide rail needs to be installed for each device.
A VCN520 or VCN540 requires 2 U space. A guide rail requires 1 U space. Therefore, installing a
single device requires a total of 3 U space. Before installing devices, properly plan the cabinet space.
For details about how to install a device in the cabinet, see the single-device deployment scenario.
This section introduces how to install multiple devices in the cabinet.
If multiple VCN520s or VCN540s are installed, a guide rail needs to be installed for each device, as
shown in the following figure.

6.Connecting Cables
Note:
To use the LDU to configure and run surveillance services, connect the LDU to a display, video
output cable, mouse, audio output device, and audio output cable. To use the alarm linkage
function, connect the LDU to an alarm input device and an alarm output device.
Huawei VCN520/VCN540 is not delivered with peripheral devices, users can purchase these
peripheral devices as required.
The LDU supports display resolution of 1440 x 900 and 1920 x 1080. When setting the LDU
resolution to 1920 x 1080, ensure that the resolution of the connected monitor is higher than
1920 x 1080.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to connect one end of the PGND cable to the ground terminal of the
device, and connect the other end to the ground point of the cabinet or work station. The ground
screw uses M4 screws. The PGND cable is prepared by the customer. The PGND cable is green
and yellow, and its diameter must range from 16 AWG to 18 AWG.
The GE ports on a device are bonded in load balancing mode by default. You can use two network
cables to connect the two GE ports to a switch (the two ports on the switch connected to the
network cables require link aggregation), or you can connect any one of the GE ports to the switch.
Connect a display to the VGA or HDMI port as required.
Connect a USB port to a mouse. The VCN provides a USB port on the rear panel and two USB
ports on the left mounting ear of the front panel. Users can select one for connecting a mouse.
(Optional) To use audio device such as headsets and speakers, connect the BNC audio input
device and audio output device.
(Optional) To use alarm input devices such as smoke sensors, infrared sensors, and access
control devices, insert the cable terminal of an alarm input device into the alarm input port. Ensure
that the alarm input device and VCN are both grounded.
(Optional) To use alarm output devices such as alarm bells, insert the cable terminal of an alarm
output device into the alarm output port.

the power outlet.
6.2 Connecting Cables on the VCN540
Note:
If users do not need to externally connect alarm input or output devices temporarily, it is recom-
mended that the Phoenix connectors be inserted into the alarm input and output ports to pre-
vent Phoenix connector losses.
