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 DX8100 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.
Only those UPS devices that exhibit the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo and are listed on the Windows 2000 Hardware Compatibility
List are approved for use with the DX8100 Series DVR.
WARNING: Do not install on the DX8100 any power management software that may come with your UPS device. The DX8100’s operating
system includes built-in services designed to communicate with UPS devices that exhibit the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo.
The following instructions are meant as a general guide for connecting a UPS device to the DX8100 Series DVR. The example below illustrates
the installation of an American Power Conversion UPS. This guide is not intended as a representation of how to install every possible make and
model of UPS device. Follow the directions that came with your UPS device to ensure that the installation process is completed properly.
