1.3 HDD Installation
①Press the blue button, hold the pull rod to pull out the HDD case and then install the HDD into
the case.
②Fix the HDD by tightening the screws on both side of the case.
③Push the case with the HDD into the slot.

2Default System Configuration
The default network configurations of the server are as follows:
Network Card 1-IP: 192.168.0.10 Network Card 2-IP: 192.168.0.11
Http Port: 8000
To avoid IP conflict you should configure one at a time as these storage servers have the same
default network configuration.

NVMS Storage Server User Manual

The default web management page: http://192.168.0.10:8000.
The default username is admin and the default password is also 123456.
The disks installed in one storage server used for RAID should be of the same brand, capacity,
rotate speed and buffer. The production batch should also try to be the same.
3Web Client Configuration
3.1 Login
The storage server is configured through web browser. It is recommended to use IE8or above,
Firefox 51or lower or Google Chrome44 or lower or Opera35 or lower (Here we take IE browser for
example).
Make sure the IP address of the computer is in the same local area network with the storage server
before accessing the storage server, or you will have to modify the IP address of the computer. For
instance, change the computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.100 and the gateway to 192.168.0.1.
Enter http://192.168.0.10:8000 in the IE address bar and then press enter to go to the login interface
as shown below.
Enter the username admin and password 123456 and then click “Login”button to go to the main
interface.
3.2 Disk RAID
Click “Disk Config”tab to go to Disk Configuration interface. Please click “Create”button to create
a disk RAID if you use the storage server for the first time.

Tips: It is recommended to create Raid5 and check hotspare disk for data security.
Click “Delete”button to pop up a confirmation dialog box. The created RAID will be deleted if you
click “Yes”button. Please be careful to delete the RAID because the record data stored in the RAID
will not be recovered once you delete the RAID.
3.3 Network Configuration
Click “Network Config”tab to go to the interface as shown below. The IP address, subnet mask and
gateway of the storage server can be set in the interface.

You will get a virtual IP address if the IP group is enabled. As to the access of the virtual IP address,
the operation system of the storage server will judge and transfer the access to eth0 or eth1
automatically.
For instance, if you disconnect the network cable of eth1 when testing “ping 192.168.0.10 –t”, you
will probably get a “Request Timeout”tip if you ping 192.168.0.10; and then you can probably ping
it successfully after a few seconds.

4Q&A
Q1. When the storage server is being started it shows “A discovery error has occurred, please
power cycle the system and all the enclosures attached to this system”.
A1. It indicates that the RAID card could not finish searching in 120 seconds. The system’s SAS
cable may be wrong connected. Please check the cable connection and repair the problems. Then
restart the system later.
Q2. It takes a very long time to rebuild the RAID.
A2. RAID rebuilding time depends on RAID size and the rebuilding process may take more than ten
hours. Recording and playback will not be affected when rebuilding.
Q3. How to replace the abnormal disks in the RAID?
A4. The corresponding disk status indicator will turn red in the disk RAID interface if the disk in the

RAID is abnormal. Uninstall the abnormal disk in the storage server case and then refresh the
interface; install a new disk after the disk indicator disappears. The RAID will rebuild automatically
later.
