INSTALLATION
Time Zone Adjustment
All NVR units sold by i3 international are pre-set to Eastern Time zone (GMT
-5:00). It is imperative that you configure the time zone setting on the first
system start up. If the NVR is later re-located to a different time zone, this
setting must be changed once again. All previously-recorded data must be
formatted after each time zone change. Failure to do so may result in system
malfunction.
Once the SRX-Pro Server starts for the first time, the message bellow will be
displayed. Click Yes if the NVR is installed in the Eastern Time zone (GMT -5:00)
Click No if the NVR is installed in a different time zone - this will halt the SRX-
Pro software startup and allow you an opportunity to set the time zone.
If the NVR is being installed in a different time zone, follow the instructions below:
1. On Windows Desktop, click on the System Time in the bottom right-hand corner.
2. In the calendar window, click Change date and time settings.
3. In Date and Time tab, click on Change time zone button and select the correct
time zone in the drop down list.
Important: Please use the installation guides that came with your IP cameras
to install the cameras as needed.
The U1 is built in a 1.5U chassis for convenient Rackmount installation.
Follow safety precautions when selecting an installation location for your U1
NVR.

then install the U1 NVR into the server rack.
