TOOLS NEEDED
GETTING READY
Before you install the DX8100-ISCI SCSI card, familiarize yourself with the instructions in this Tech
Tip. The steps to install the external video storage upgrade are summarized as follows:
1. Unpack the DX8100-ISCI kit and check that you have all the necessary kit components.
2. Verify that you have the required tools to install the SCSI card. For information about the tools
required to install the SCSI card, refer to Tools Needed table above.
3. Shut down the DX8100 Series DVR. For information about shutting down the DX8100, refer to the
DX8100 Installation Manual, Operation and Programming manual, or DX8100 Server online Help.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
WARNING: It is critical that the unit be unplugged for your safety. You must remove the power
cord because current continues to flow through the DX8100 even when the unit is off. Remove
the power cord from the wall socket first, and then from the rear of the DVR.
