Appendix D: Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
If uninterrupted operation is desired and the power grid cannot provide adequate uptime, it is highly recommended that each DX8000 Series DVR
be connected to a UPS device (not supplied). A UPS device will supply a limited amount of battery backup power in the event of a power failure.
Each UPS device should be configured to shut down its corresponding DVR safely during an extended period on battery power.
UPS TO DVR COMMUNICATION AND POWER CONNECTIONS
1. Shut down the DX8000. Refer to Shutting Down on page 26 for instructions.
2. Connect the UPS to the DX8000 using a standard USB cable.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to one of the four USB 2.0 ports on the back panel of the DVR.
4. Connect the power cord of the UPS to a standard wall socket.
5. Connect the power cord of the DX8000 to one of the power outlets on the UPS.
6. Turn the UPS device power switch on.
7. Turn the DX8000 power switch on.
