1 Safety Information
General Safety
● Ensure that the product is used in an environment that meets its design
specications. Using the product in an incompatible environment may cause
malfunctions or component damage, which are not covered under warranty.
● Personnel who plan to install or maintain Huawei equipment must receive a
thorough training, understand all necessary safety precautions, and be able to
correctly perform all operations.
● Operation personnel should comply with local laws and regulations. The
safety instructions in the document are only supplements to local laws and
regulations.
● Do not operate the equipment or cables during thunderstorms.
● Before operating the equipment, remove any conductors such as jewelry or
watches.
● Use insulated tools during operations.
● Follow specied procedures during installation and maintenance.
● Measure contact point voltage with a multimeter before handling a conductor
surface or terminal. Ensure that the contact point has no voltage or the
voltage is within the specied range.
● Performing maintenance or locating faults may interrupt power to the loads if
batteries are not connected or the battery reserve is insucient.
● Cables stored at subzero temperatures must be stored at room temperature
for at least 24 hours before they are laid out.
● Perform routine maintenance; replace faulty components at the earliest.
Electrical Safety
● Grounding
– When installing a device, install the ground cable rst. When uninstalling
a device, remove the ground cable last.
– Before operating a device, ensure that the device is properly grounded.
● AC and DC Power
IVS1800 Video Management System
User Manual 1 Safety Information
Issue 02 (2021-01-27) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1

D ANGER
● The power system is powered by high-voltage power sources. Direct or indirect
contact (through damp objects) with high-voltage power sources may result in
serious injury or death.
● Non-standard and improper operations may result in re or electric shock.
● Before making electrical connections, turn o the protection switch on the
upstream device to cut the power supply.
● Before connecting the AC power supply, ensure that electrical connections are
complete.
● Before connecting cables to loads or battery cables, check cable and terminal
polarities to prevent reverse connections.
● ESD
– To prevent electrostatic-sensitive components from being damaged by
static from human bodies, wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap or ESD gloves when touching circuit boards.
– When holding a board, hold its edge without touching any components,
especially chips.
– Package boards with ESD packaging materials before storing or
transporting them.
Cable Layout
● When routing cables, ensure that a sucient distance exists between the
cables and the DC busbar, shunt, and fuse. This prevents damage to the
insulation layer of the cables.
● Route and bind signal cables and strong-current cables or high-voltage cables
separately.
● Ensure that user-supplied cables are re-retardant.
Mechanical Safety
● Drilling Holes
NO TICE
Do not drill holes into a cabinet without permission. Incorrect drilling operations
may aect the electromagnetic shielding of the cabinet and damage cables inside.
Metal shavings from drilling may short-circuit boards inside the cabinet.
● Before drilling holes into a cabinet, remove cables from inside the cabinet.
● Wear goggles and protective gloves when drilling holes.
● After drilling, clean up any metal shavings that have accumulated inside or
outside the cabinet.
● Moving Heavy Objects
– Be cautious to avoid injury when moving heavy objects.

3 Installing an IVS1800
Context
By default, the IVS1800 is delivered without disks. After the IVS1800 is delivered to
the site, install hard disks as required and then install the IVS1800 in the cabinet.
Procedure
Step 1 Install hard disks.
1. Use a PH2 screwdriver to remove the two black screws on the rear of the
chassis cover, and take o the chassis cover.
Figure 3-1 Removing the chassis cover
2. Remove two black screws on each side of the chassis and the silvery white
one on top of the hard disk tray, raise the hard disk tray by 45 degrees, and
take out the upper and then lower layers of hard disk tray.
Figure 3-2 Removing the hard disk tray
3. Place the hard disks with ports facing upwards and align the screw holes on
the hard disk tray with the hard disks and fasten the screws. Before the
installation, ensure that the fastener of the hard disk tray is on a dierent
side from the hard disk port, as shown in the lower left gure.

Figure 3-3 Installing hard disks
4. Insert the hard disk tray back at 45 degrees with the opening of its locking
buckle facing downwards, hold the screw in the red-framed part to lower the
hard disk tray until it is level, and fasten the black screws on the left and right
sides and the white screw on the top.
Figure 3-4 Fastening the screw on the panel and the screws on the hard disk
tray
5. Connect data and power cables to hard disks. Connect hard disk cable ports
P0–P3 to hard disks on the lower-layer hard disk tray and ports P4–P7 to hard
disks on the upper-layer, as shown in the lower left gure.
Figure 3-5 Connecting data and power cables to hard disks
6. Close the chassis cover, and use a PH2 screwdriver to fasten the rear screws.

Figure 3-6 Closing the chassis cover
Step 2 Install the device.
NO TE
● Before installing the IVS1800 in a cabinet, install guide rails to hold the device. If guide
rails have been installed in the cabinet, check whether they match the device and
whether they block the air intake or exhaust vents of the chassis as the fan is located on
the side. If the vents are blocked, change the guide rails.
● Huawei provides guide rails that can be adjusted from 500 mm to 800 mm for
additional purchase if required for IVS1800 installation.
● Do not attach rubber feet on the IVS1800 to save space during cabinet installation.
1. Conrm the installation location of guide rails in the cabinet. Install cage nuts
(two at the front and three at the back on each side) to secure the guide rails
at the proper position in the cabinet, as shown in the lower left gure. The
lower right gure shows how to install cage nuts.
1. Insert a cage nut into the square hole from the inside of the cabinet and
clamp it to the lower frame of the square hole.
2. Use a mounting bar to pull the cage nut until it clamps the upper frame of
the square hole.
Figure 3-7 Installing a cage nut
2. Install guide rails. Horizontally place a 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. Fasten four M6 screws (two on
each side) to x the front end and six M6 screws (three on each side) to x
the rear end, as shown in the lower right gure.
CA UTION
Before installing a guide rail, check the (F/L, F/R) labels on the guide rail to
identify whether it is for the left or right and which part is the front or rear.
F/L indicates the front end of the left guide rail, and F/R indicates the front
end of the right guide rail.

3. Install a ller panel for guide rails. Fasten the M6 screws to install the ller
panel for the guide rails.
Figure 3-9 Installing a ller panel for guide rails
4. Install the cage nuts that secure the IVS1800. The cage nut installation
locations are the rst and sixth holes along the guide rails, as shown in the
following gure.

Figure 3-10 Installing cage nuts
5. Install mounting ears. Use a PH2 screwdriver to secure the mounting ears to
both sides of the front panel of the device with four screws on each side.
When the device is near the front door of the cabinet, fasten screws in hole
groups 1 and 2; when the device is near the rear door, fasten screws in hole
groups 2 and 3.
Figure 3-11 Installing mounting ears
6. Install the IVS1800 in the cabinet.
1. Lift the device from both sides and carefully position it at the front of the
cabinet.
2. Lift the device slightly above the guide rails, gently place it on the guide
rails, and then slide it into the cabinet until the mounting ears of the subrack
contact the mounting bars at the front of the cabinet.
7. Thread M6 screws (prepared by the customer) through two slotted holes on
each mounting ear. Fasten the M6 screws using a Phillips screwdriver to x
the mounting ears on the front mounting bars of the cabinet, as shown in the
lower right gure.
