READ BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION

The DX9000 system consists of three major components: digital video recorders (also referred to as servers), video storage
units, and ViewStations (computers). Each piece of equipment is boxed separately and comes with its own documentation.
It is important that the equipment be installed in the proper sequence. Get the manuals for all three types of equipment.
Keep the manuals together because you will have to go back and forth between the manuals as you install the equipment.
Follow these steps for a successful installation of your system:
RECORDERS AND VIDEO STORAGE UNITS
IMPORTANT: The recorders and storage units have been pre-configured to operate with each other and they must be installed
in a logical order.
1. Place the recorders on a flat surface or mount them in an equipment rack.
2. Connect cameras, monitor (not supplied), keyboard, and mouse to each recorder.
3. Place the video storage units on a flat surface or mount them in an equipment rack.
4. Connect the storage units to the recorders.
5. Turn on power to the video storage units, and then turn on the recorder.
6. Configure the operation of the recorders, and then connect the recorders to the network. If you are not familiar with
network setup, consult a network professional.
VIEWSTATION
1. Place the ViewStations on a flat surface or mount them in an equipment rack.
2. Connect monitor (not supplied), keyboard, and mouse to each ViewStation.
3. Turn on the power to the ViewStations.
4. Configure the operation of the ViewStations, and then connect the ViewStations to the network. If you are not familiar
with network setup, consult a network professional.
5. Synchronize the time between the ViewStations and recorders.
6. Open the ViewStation program to establish communication between the ViewStations and recorders.
7. The DX9000 system is ready to use.
