Hardware Installation
EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT AND RACK MOUNTING
The DVR5100 can be placed on a flat surface, such as a desktop, or mounted in an equipment rack.
DESKTOP MOUNTING
To mount the DVR5100 on a desktop:
1. Ensure that the rubber feet are securely attached to the four corners of the bottom of the unit to prevent surface damage.
2. Position the unit to allow for cable and power cord clearance at the rear of the unit. Make sure that air flow around the unit is not
obstructed.
RACK MOUNTING
The DVR5100 mounts into an industry-standard 19-inch (48 cm) equipment rack. The DVR5100 occupies 2 RU (3.5 inches or 8.9 cm) of vertical
rack space. The hardware necessary to mount the DVR5100 into a rack is supplied with the unit.
The rack must meet the following requirements:
• Rack standard: 19-inch EIA-310-D compliant (rear column required).
• Rack column depth: 20 to 30 inches (50.8 to 76.2 cm).
• Column mounting hole provisions: 10-32 UNF-2B threaded holes or square window holes on front and rear columns.
• Door systems (optional): Front doors must have at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) between the DVR5100 front bezel and the inside of the door.
Rear doors may be used only on rack columns that are more than 26 inches (66.0 cm) deep.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 on page 13 identify each piece of hardware for rack mounting.
To install the DVR5100 in a rack:
1. Attach one chassis mounting bracket to each side of the DVR5100. Use four 10-32 x 0.25-inch Phillips pan head screws for each bracket.
Attach the brackets so that the tapered ends are positioned toward the rear of the DVR5100.

2. Remove the four rubber feet from the underside of the unit. Save the rubber feet and screws for possible future use.
WARNING: Do not place the DVR5100 unit on its side. In this position, the unit may fall over and cause equipment damage or personal
injury.
WARNING: Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation to prevent the unit from overheating. Do not block these openings.
Never place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register. Provide proper ventilation when placing the unit in a built-in installation, such
as a rack.
