3. Once the faceplate is unlatched, pull it off the device,
exposing the drive bays.
4. Insert a 3.5” SATA hard drive into an available drive
bay. Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA
connector on the bottom edge inside the drive bay of the
NVR. Gently push the drive in until it connects. When a
drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into the
connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped
may need to be guided carefully into position. If a drive is
not properly seated, the LED will not illuminate once the
device has been powered on.
Optional: When installing an optional second Hard Disk,
please repeat Step 4. To avoid data incompatibility in
RAID 1 operation, use identical SATA drives from the
same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1
operation is dependant on the Hard Disk with the lowest
capacity.

Connect the Ethernet Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. Connect one end
of the Ethernet cable to the NVR. Connect the opposite end of
this cable to a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port of a router or a switch,
or directly to a computer.
Connect the UPS (Optional)
If you have a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that you would like
to use with the NVR, you may connect it before powering the
unit on.
1. Connect the USB cable from the UPS to the port on the back of the NVR.
2. Connect the power cable to the UPS. (Ensure that the UPS is plugged in and receiving power.)
Note:
To turn off the NVR, simply push the power button for 5 seconds. The power LED will blink and the NVR will turn off after a moment.
Attach the External Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC power receptacle
located on the NVR’s rear panel (labeled DC12V) and connect
the other end to an AC power outlet.
