VN-RAID NVR-Workstation/Kollector RAID Setup
This procedure describes the setup of the VN-RAID Series of Digital Video RAID Level 5 Storage Systems.
Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power
source. Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of
your equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components. Vicon requires the use of
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Failure to comply voids the unit warranty.

The ViconNet RAID Storage System and ViconNet® NVR/
Workstation or Kollector® recorder must be setup, connected
and powered-on in a specific order to verify proper operation.
The following steps MUST be done in order to avoid problems.
Refer to the RAID manufacturer’s manual packed in the box for
complete information on the VN-RAID Storage System.
1. Unpack the entire system. Do not connect any cables until
instructed. If there are multiple VN-RAID and NVR/Kollector
recorder units, match the pairs in accordance with their
labels. Refer to Figure 1. Rack-mount the units in
accordance with the unit manuals or lay the units out on a
stable and flat surface for setup.
2. Connect the monitor to the back of the Kollector recorder or
NVR/Workstation as shown in Figure 1a. Connect the proper
end of the supplied SCSI cable to one of the two SCSI
connectors as shown in Figure 1a and 4. Note that rear
panels vary among the Kollector and NVR/Workstation units.
Figure 1a is an Elite (480 fps). Figure 4 shows a typical SCSI
connector on an NVR.
3. Connect the remaining end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI
connector on the rear panel of the VN-RAID Storage System
as shown in Figure 1b and 4.
Example: Connect cable from channel 1/A on SCSI port of
the Kollector to CH0-In on the RAID 1 and channel 2/B on
SCSI port to CH0-In on RAID 2.
4. Unpack the RAID hard drives. Reference the VN-RAID
Storage System manual for precautions and full installation
steps. These hard drives are preassembled into their drive
trays.
a. Locate Drive 1. Locate drive bay 1 as shown in Figures 2
and 3. There is a label with the drive number order on
the left side of the RAID box (refer to Figure 1b) and on
the inside portion of the display screen.
b. Verify that the key-lock is in the horizontal position. If not,
turn it with a screwdriver from vertical to horizontal.
c. Push the clip, in the center of the drive bay 1 bezel,
upward to open the front flap.
d. With the flap open, insert drive 1 into the slot until it
seats. Do not force it.
e. Gently close the flap until it snaps into place. Turn the
key-lock back to the vertical position to lock the flap.
