InstallingtheMSU
The MSU requires two connections.
1) Use the enclosed cable to connect between SATA sockets on the rear of the DVR
and the MSU. If using a different cable to that supplied, it is recomended that it be
no longer than one metre.
2) The MSU has an internal power supply unit. Connect the mains lead to the unit and
then to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. To be compliant with wiring
regulations in some countries; an Alarm/Security device should be connected to a
fused spur and not a wall outlet socket (check local regulations before installation).).
Installing The Cong File on the DVR
1) To successfully link the MSU to the DVR, the MSU Cong le must be installed
on the DVR. The Cong le can be located on the MSU Conguration CD which
accompanies the unit.
Either:
Insert the CD containing the cong le (vidcfg.ini) into the CD drive of the DVR and
select the software upgrade option via the DVR’s Conguration menus.
Or:
Extract the the vidcfg.ini le and copy into the /etc directory of the DVR via FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) client software i.e. Core FTP.
2) Reboot the DVR.
IMPORTANT: To successfully install the cong le, the DVR may require a software upgrade.
Please ensure the software versions (or higher) listed below are installed:
SD Range Application 4.2 (20.14)
