Connecting the Power

Comply with the following requirements:

 Power outlet shall be equipped with earthing (ground) protection.

 The outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

 Use the appliance coupler as the disconnect device (see the illustrations in the

“Cable Connections Scheme” section starting on page 9. However,

disconnecting the power cord from the appliance coupler should only occur

when the unit power is shut down properly. See

“Switching the Server On and

Off” on page 5 for information on properly turning off power to the unit.

 An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is recommended. If using a UPS,

read the section

“Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)” on page 7 before

continuing.

 To connect the power:

1. Connect one end of the power cord to the appliance coupler of the server.

2. Plug in the other end of the power cord to the power outlet.

Switching the Server On and Off

All models of the DVN 5000 Series servers are equipped with a main power switch

located at the back of the server that turns the power on and off.

In addition, the server is equipped with a soft power switch located at the front of the

server (refer to one of the following illustrations that best match the DVN model you

are installing). It is enabled only when the universal power supply switch on the

back of the unit (if present) is turned on.

!

CAUTION

Do NOT apply power to the DVN 5000 unit until the RAID drives and the

system drive are securely inserted into the proper drive slots. Failure to

follow this procedure may result in data corruption, requiring you to send

the unit back to Johnson Controls for repair for which you will not

receive credit. See “Inserting the RAID Drives and System Drive in the

Drive Bay” on page 3.

!

CAUTION

If using a UPS, refer to the device’s user documentation for proper

power connections to and from the device. See also “Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS)” on page 7.

WA RNI NG

Check power supply cord before using. If damaged, do not switch

on the appliance. Replace the cord with same type and ratings.

NOTES

 Some models of universal power supply do not have a power switch.

 The mouse, monitor, and any external storage devices must be connected to

the server before turning on the power. See the illustrations in the

“Cable

Connections Scheme” section starting on page 9 for the locations of the

mouse, monitor, and external storage device connectors.

WA RN I NG

Do not open the top of the unit when the server is powered on.

Except for the lithium battery (see page 8), there are no user

serviceable parts inside the DVN. In addition, opening the

DVN 5000 during the unit’s warranty period will tear the warranty

seal and void the unit’s warranty. See also page 9.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Johnson Controls strongly recommends providing power to the DVN 5000 unit via a

listed UPS for temporary, backup power in the event of a power failure.

Recommended Manufacturer: APC®

Recommended UPS Minimum Wattage and Volt-Amperes Rating:

500 W (833 VA) each

NOTE

The backup time and therefore battery size varies, depending on the

requirements of the site.

For more information on using a UPS device with the DVN 5000, refer to the

DVN

5000 Series Software Installation and Configuration Manual.

Voltage Selection

The DVN 5000 series server does not have a voltage selection switch. The rating is

100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Verify that this voltage type and range matches the local

power supply value

Non Standard Connectors Rating

The rating of non standard connectors (alarm relays outputs and switched digital

inputs) is maximum 0.5 A at 12 VDC, 24 VAC, or max 42 VDC for all DVN 5000

Series models.

Mounting

If applicable, mount the unit in an appropriate server rack using the rack

manufacturer’s specific mounting hardware or on a fixed shelf.

Refer to the rack manufacturer’s documentation for instructions on the proper

installation of rack-mounted devices, including any weight and spacing

requirements and restrictions. Ideally, if using a server rack, mount any UPS device

at the bottom of the rack followed by the DVN 5000 server(s). For proper

ventilation, leave some space between the units.

!

CAUTION

Do not place the DVN 5000 in a location where the unit’s vents will be

obstructed, as this may cause the unit to overheat.

Lithium Battery Replacement

The life expectancy of the lithium battery is 10 years and should not be replaced

under normal operating conditions. However, if you need to replace the battery,

perform the following instructions.

NOTE

Shut off power to the DVN and unplug the power cord prior to starting this

procedure.

1. Remove the top panel of the DVN.

2. If necessary, remove other components that are obstructing access to the

lithium battery (e.g. sound cards or video cards).

NOTE

If the video cards have dip switches that are addressed for specific

cameras, they will need to be re-installed into exactly the same slots.

3. Remove the old battery.

4. Dispose of the old battery according to local requirements.

5. Insert the new battery.

6. Replace the components you have removed and the top server panel. The

DVN can now be switched back on.

PCB Card Replacement

When replacing a PCB card, dispose of the old card according to local requirements.

Servicing and Repair

Except for the battery, there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Refer to

your dealer for any service needs.

The lithium battery is polarized. Ensure the side marked ‘+’ faces

out or towards you.

!

CAUTION

WA RNI NG

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with same type and rating.

Warranty Information

Each DVN 5000 has a warranty sticker affixed to the outside of the unit listing the

DVN model, manufacturing date code, country where the unit was assembled, and a

warning statement. This sticker must be affixed to the unit and intact to receive

warranty service on a defective DVN unit at a Johnson Controls authorized repair

facility.

Important: Removing or tearing the sticker voids the unit’s warranty. Also, do not

attempt to open the DVN unit during the unit’s warranty period, as this will break

the warranty sticker’s seal and void the unit’s warranty.

CABLE CONNECTIONS SCHEME

The back of the DVN 5000 you receive will have one of the following component

configurations, as illustrated in the following figures. Refer to the figure that matches your

DVN 5000.

NOTES

 The location of the ON/OFF switch and the Appliance Coupler may differ from

the illustrations in this manual.

 If your DVN 5000 is shipped with a video card, the card includes three

different output connectors (SVHS, DVI, and VGA). However, SVHS and DVI

are not supported in this release. Use only the VGA connector. Also, the

video card illustration and the appearance of the actual physical card and its

connectors may differ slightly.

 The Network Port (RJ45) is for use with a Local Area Network (LAN) and/or

Wide Area Network (WAN). The port is not to be connected to a

telecommunications/telephone network.

!

CAUTION

If you wish to loop camera video images to a monitor, remove and

discard the plastic caps on the Loop Output BNC connectors before

attempting to connect the video cable to the unit. Also, to avoid

receiving a poor video signal (or no signal at all), do not connect a

camera video input cable to the unit’s Loop Output connector. Camera

video input cables must be connected to the unit’s Camera Input BNC

connectors. (This caution does not apply to DVN 5000X Real-Time

models).

!

CAUTION

To avoid degrading the video signal, do not add external End of Line

(EOL) termination devices to any camera input or loop output wiring.

The DVN 5000 already comes equipped with internal EOL termination

functionality. (This caution does not apply to DVN 5000X Real-Time

models).

Audio Specifications

The following table provides audio specification information on the DVN 5000.

Microphone Wiring

Each audio input connector on the DVN 5000 is set up as a stereo audio input jack

for a standard 3.5 mm TRS-type (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector.

 The Tip of the plug is the Left Input for the audio channel.

 The Ring of the plug is the Right Input for the audio stereo channel.

 The Sleeve (or Barrel) is ground.

If using a standard dynamic microphone, the Tip is positive and the Sleeve is

ground. There would be no Ring on the plug.

You may use a condenser microphone, but power must be supplied externally (the

DVN 5000 does not supply power to a condenser microphone).

Enable a microphone in the DVN software as the left channel for each audio input.

Refer to the DVN 5000 Series Software Installation and Configuration Manual for

assistance.
