Step 2: Install Hard Drives
Refer to compatibility list and install HDDs. For optimal performance
consideration, install disks with the same model and storage capacity. The
available RAID level depends on the amount of disks installed.
1. Open the lid on the front of the unit enclosure.
2. Pull a HDD tray from the enclosure. See the front view figure.
3. Carefully lock the disks into the HDD tray with screws. 3 screws for each
disk. We recommend locking the screws on the bottom of the disk, instead
of the side of tray. Put the HDD tray back once you finished.
Step 3: Connect to the Network
1. Attach one end of the network cable to the RJ45 network connection. See
the rear view figure.
2. Attach the other end of the network cable to your Ethernet hub or switch.
If there are multiple networks at your facility, note the network to which you connect
the unit. You will need this information during the setup process. Please also enable
the DHCP function within the network, as the unit will retrieve an IP address through
DHCP by default.
Step 4: Connect the Power
1. Attach the power cord to the power source.
2. Connect the power cord to the back of the unit enclosure. See the rear view
figure.
3. On the front of the unit, press the power button. See the front view figure.
It takes about a minute for the unit to fully power up. Once it is powered up,
the Power Status LED turns blue. See the front view figure.
Step 5: Install the Software
1. Insert the CD into your CDROM.
2. Double-click Setup.exe to begin installation.
3. Follow the instruction of Setup.exe, and click the Finish button to close

9
the installer.
Step 6: Set up the Unit
The software Installation Wizard performs the setup procedures on the unit.
After the procedure, you can begin using it.
1. Go to Start > NUUO Titan Series > NUUO Install Wizard.
2. This program will show the default language setting and initiation mode.
3. Choose your preferred language and initiation mode, and then click the
button.
Express Mode: you don’t need to set up the network settings and RAID
level.
Advanced Mode: configure all settings manually: network, license,
camera, Date/Time, upgrade notification, and RAID level
4. The Installation Wizard program starts searching for all the units on the
internet currently. Choose one of them, and then click the button.

10
5. Type in the password, and then click the OK button.
The default Administrator password is “admin”.
6. Name this server and select the network type, and then click the
button.

11
Obtain network settings automatically from external DHCP server:
apply all settings which are automatically generated by the DHCP server,
such as IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS.
Configure network settings manually: configure the preferred settings
one by one.
7. Activate camera license to have more channel capacity, and click the
button.
8. Add cameras for this server. There are two ways of adding cameras,

12
selecting the searched cameras and manually configuring the cameras.
Click the button after completing camera list.
Click the Search button.
Select camera and type the camera name, username and password.

13
Add cameras manually.
9. Set up the time zone, date, and time, and adjust daylight saving changes if
needed. Once daylight saving function is enabled, the time change will
activate automatically every year based on the recurrence you set.
Click the button.
10.Check “Enable Upgrade Notification” box if you want to receive
notification when there is a newer FW version. Click the button.

14
11.Follow the following instruction and select the RAID type you want to
create. Click the button.
12.Review your settings. If the settings are correct, click the Finish button to
exit the settings procedure and activate the system.

15
Once the “FINISH” button is clicked, the unit will start working. In order to ensure the
stability of the unit, never pull any disks out when the system is running.
