Connecting the Power
Comply with the following requirements:
Power outlet shall be equipped with earthing (ground) protection.
The outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Use the appliance coupler as the disconnect device (see the illustrations in the
“Cable Connections Scheme” section starting on page 9. However,
disconnecting the power cord from the appliance coupler should only occur
when the unit power is shut down properly. See “Switching the Server On and
Off” on page 5 for information on properly turning off power to the unit.
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is recommended. If using a UPS,
read the section “Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)” on page 7 before
continuing.
To connect the power:
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the appliance coupler of the server.
2. Plug in the other end of the power cord to the power outlet.
Switching the Server On and Off
All models of the DVN 5000 Series servers are equipped with a main power switch
located at the back of the server that turns the power on and off.
In addition, the server is equipped with a soft power switch located at the front of the
server (refer to one of the following illustrations that best match the DVN model you
are installing). It is enabled only when the universal power supply switch on the
back of the unit (if present) is turned on.
!
CAUTION
Do NOT apply power to the DVN 5000 unit until the RAID drives and the
system drive are securely inserted into the proper drive slots. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in data corruption, requiring you to send
the unit back to Johnson Controls for repair for which you will not
receive credit. See “Inserting the RAID Drives and System Drive in the
Drive Bay” on page 3.
!
CAUTION
If using a UPS, refer to the device’s user documentation for proper
power connections to and from the device. See also “Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS)” on page 7.
WAR NI NG
Check power supply cord before using. If damaged, do not switch
on the appliance. Replace the cord with same type and ratings.

NOTES
Some models of universal power supply do not have a power switch.
The mouse, monitor, and any external storage devices must be connected to
the server before turning on the power. See the illustrations in the “Cable
Connections Scheme” section starting on page 9 for the locations of the
mouse, monitor, and external storage device connectors.
WAR N I N G
Do not open the top of the unit when the server is powered on.
Except for the lithium battery (see page 8), there are no user
serviceable parts inside the DVN. In addition, opening the
DVN 5000 during the unit’s warranty period will tear the warranty
seal and void the unit’s warranty. See also page 9.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Johnson Controls strongly recommends providing power to the DVN 5000 unit via a
listed UPS for temporary, backup power in the event of a power failure.
Recommended Manufacturer: APC®
Recommended UPS Minimum Wattage and Volt-Amperes Rating:
500 W (833 VA) each
NOTE
The backup time and therefore battery size varies, depending on the
requirements of the site.
For more information on using a UPS device with the DVN 5000, refer to the
DVN 5000 Series Software Installation and Configuration Manual.
Voltage Selection
The DVN 5000 series server does not have a voltage selection switch. The rating is
100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Verify that this voltage type and range matches the local
power supply value
Non Standard Connectors Rating
The rating of non standard connectors (alarm relays outputs and switched digital
inputs) is maximum 0.5 A at 12 VDC, 24 VAC, or max 42 VDC for all DVN 5000
Series models.
Mounting
If applicable, mount the unit in an appropriate server rack using the rack
manufacturer’s specific mounting hardware or on a fixed shelf.
Refer to the rack manufacturer’s documentation for instructions on the proper
installation of rack-mounted devices, including any weight and spacing
requirements and restrictions. Ideally, if using a server rack, mount any UPS device
at the bottom of the rack followed by the DVN 5000 server(s). For proper
ventilation, leave some space between the units.
!
CAUTION
Do not place the DVN 5000 in a location where the unit’s vents will be
obstructed, as this may cause the unit to overheat.

Lithium Battery Replacement
The life expectancy of the lithium battery is 10 years and should not be replaced
under normal operating conditions. However, if you need to replace the battery,
perform the following instructions.
NOTE
Shut off power to the DVN and unplug the power cord prior to starting this
procedure.
1. Remove the top panel of the DVN.
2. If necessary, remove other components that are obstructing access to the
lithium battery (e.g. sound cards or video cards).
NOTE
If the video cards have dip switches that are addressed for specific
cameras, they will need to be re-installed into exactly the same slots.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Dispose of the old battery according to local requirements.
5. Insert the new battery.
6. Replace the components you have removed and the top server panel. The
DVN can now be switched back on.
PCB Card Replacement
When replacing a PCB card, dispose of the old card according to local requirements.
Servicing and Repair
Except for the battery, there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Refer to
your dealer for any service needs.
The lithium battery is polarized. Ensure the side marked ‘+’ faces
out or towards you.
