Getting Ready
1. Familiarize yourself with the instructions throughout this manual.
2. Check that you have all the necessary parts and tools. Refer to the Parts List and Tools Needed sections.
3. Shut down the DX8100 Series DVR unit. Refer to DX8100 Installation Manual or Operations and Programming
Manual for instructions on shutting down your unit.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket and then from the rear of the DVR.
WARNING: For safety reasons, you must remove the power cord because current continues to flow through
the DX8100 even when the unit is off. Remove the power cord from the wall socket first and then from the rear
of the DVR. It is critical that the unit be unplugged for your safety.

5. Ensure that the DX8100 Series DVR and all of its components are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before handling any electronic components, you should take steps to ground yourself properly so that any built-up
static electric charges are dissipated away from the unit. The most effective method for combating ESD is to use a
properly grounded wrist strap.
NOTE: If you do not have access to a grounded wrist strap, you can discharge any built-up static by periodically touching
an unpainted section of the chassis.

chassis:
a. Disconnect any cables or connections that might restrict access to or the removal of the unit.
b. Unscrew the fasteners that are securing the unit in the rack.
c. Carefully lift the unit out of the rack.

Install the DX8100-512RAM Memory Module
NOTE: If applicable, ensure that the DIMM module with the highest memory capacity is installed in DIMM1 and the
DIMM module with the next highest capacity is installed in DIMM2.
Install the additional DX8100-512RAM module as follows:
1. Carefully remove the DX8100-512RAM DIMM module from its static-safe packaging. Handle the DIMM by its edges
and avoid contact with the module’s chips or conductive leads.
2. Locate the empty DIMM socket. This socket is directly adjacent to the socket containing the existing DIMM module.
Refer to Figure 7.

components.
