PREPARING THE UNIT
1. Shut down the DVR5100 as follows. If you are already logged on, use the on-screen menus to log off and proceed with the following steps.
For security purposes, the unit can only be shut down with Administrator-level permissions.
a. From the Login screen, select the admin user ID, and then enter the appropriate admin password.

3. Disconnect any cables or connections that may restrict access or interfere with the removal of the unit.
4. If mounted in a rack, unscrew the fasteners that secure the unit in the rack, and then carefully slide the unit out of the rack. Two people may
be required for this step.
5. Place the DVR5100 on a flat surface with ample workspace. Make sure the area provides full access to the DVR5100 internal components.
6. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the chassis cover
(refer to Figure 1):
a. Remove all 10 screws from the DVR (four screws on each side and two on the back). Set aside the screws.
