facing each other. Push the drives lightly into place and then replace the front panel. Mount
the front panel and the drives by fastening the screws at the bottom of the case.
Note: Please install HDDs with the same model and storage capacity for easily
maintenance.
.
2.2 Hardware connection
1. Connect one end of the network cable to the gigabit network port.
Note: Make sure network port is connected to the network via network cable. They will obtain
IP addresses automatically via DHCP by default. You must enable the DHCP function within
your network, as the NVR unit will retrieve an IP address through. (the IPAddress and
Netmask will default to 192.168.1.200, 255.255.255.0 for eth0 in case of no DHCP server

8
existed )
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to your Ethernet hub or switch.
3. Connect the power supply to your device first and only then plug it into the wall outlet. The
system starts up automatically as soon as you plug in the power supply. It takes about 1-2
minutes for the device to go online but the blue system LED will indicate when the system is
ready.
4. To safely turn off the device, press and hold the power button for about 4 seconds until the
red LED starts flashing. The system will then shut down all services and about 20 seconds
later, it will power down.
5. If for some reason the system is unresponsive, press and hold the power button for 6
seconds to forcefully shut down the system and cut off the power.
2.3 Setup NVR via Wizard
