Together, these elements provide the foundation for a revolutionary tool to manage your business intelligence. • DIGIOP® Core —— DIGIOP® Core is an extensible video recording platform that provides real-time recording of analog and IP cameras. —— DIGIOP® Core software can be configured to display live video as it’s recorded, or to run in the background and archive video data for display remotely using DIGIOP® Connect. • DIGIOP® Control —— A web-based administration portal for NVR and hDVR servers that enables you to configure your systems and manage permissions from the Internet. —— DIGIOP® Control allows you to easily manage your single- or multi-site system. DIGIOP® Control includes: add and configure cameras, set user rights, establish global and local level permissions for systems, cameras, and data streams. • DIGIOP® Connect —— Provides is a unified dashboard that displays both video and data intelligence on a single admin portal, enabling remote management of both single-site and multi-site systems. —— Provides search tools including thumbnail search, timeline search, replay search, digital zoom, and tours, allowing you to quickly locate, save and export video and data. • DIGIOP® Data —— DIGIOP® Data is a data management software that integrates external data with video recorded by DIGIOP® Core. This information can be displayed and retrieved with DIGIOP® Connect. —— DIGIOP® Data can integrate video with retail Point-of-Sale (POS), with school Time & Attendance, with healthcare Electronic Access Control (EAC), etc. to expand the potential of your system. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 1 SECTION 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW Local and Hosted-Enterprise Management The DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ server can be managed either locally or managed by DIGIOP®. With a locally managed NVR or hDVR server, the configuration settings are retained on the server. In a hosted enterprise environment, DIGIOP® manages the servers and save the server configuration settings at DIGIOP®. For hosted enterprise management, the NVR and hDVR servers must be accessible through the Internet. The selection of using either local or hosted enterprise management is made through the Enterprise Configuration Application in the Windows Start menu. 1.1 DIGIOP® Control and NVRs and hDVR This document includes a user interface description of the DIGIOP® Control admin portal. Locally, DIGIOP® Control operates in one of two modes: Kiosk mode for hDVRs, or Service mode for NVRs: • • 2 Kiosk modes - Kiosk mode provides a local user interface and administration of the cameras and settings on the hDVR. It is used to schedule recording modes, control PTZ cameras, create associations between sensors (alarm inputs) and control relays (alarm outputs) with cameras, and see and hear video and audio. Kiosk mode allows remote access to the hDVR with DIGIOP® Control for management of IP cameras. DIGIOP® Connect provides a remote view of live and recorded video and data streams. Service mode - In Service Mode, the video and data software runs as a service on the server. DIGIOP Control is used to manage IP cameras, user accounts and data streams, and create groups and tours for monitoring surveillance cameras and data. DIGIOP® Control can be used concurrently with DIGIOP® Connect, which provides a remote view of live and recorded video and data streams. www.digiop.com SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE SECTION 2 Using DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Software DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ consists of DIGIOP® Core, DIGIOP® Data, and DIGIOP® Control software and comes installed on hDVRs and NVRs. This includes the basic application to view live and archived video, configure users, etc. Initially, NVR systems startup with DIGIOP® Core running in Service mode and hDVR systems run in Kiosk mode. Both NVRs and hDVRs can be switched between Service and Kiosk modes, if necessary. Subsequent server startup (or restart) will resume in the mode it was most previously configured for. 2.1 NVR Startup The initial power-on and initialization of an NVR system is complete when the Windows 7 Professional desktop display similar to the following, appears. No log on is required. The appearance of the Windows 7 desktop without the Kiosk mode display window indicates that the server is operating in Service mode. After the initialization of the server software is complete, you can log in to the system either locally or remotely through the DIGIOP® Control admin portal. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 3 SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE 2.1.1 NVR Service mode desktop options When the server is operating in service mode, you can perform any of the following: • • • • • Open DIGIOP® Viewer to search for, watch, and backup recorded video. Open DIGIOP® Control on the server desktop (see the procedure later in this section). View or add additional licenses to the system. All Windows 7 desktop options with Administrator privileges, including power off or restart of the server. Switch to Kiosk mode (see the procedure later in this section). 2.2 hDVR system startup The initial power-on and initialization of an hDVR system is complete when the Kiosk mode display, similar to the following multiimage window, appears on the system monitor. After analog and/or IP cameras are added to the system, the video images from those cameras may also appear. Other Windows 7 mode options are normally not available when the server is operating in Kiosk mode. To use Kiosk mode, a log in is required. 4 www.digiop.com SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE 2.2.1 Logging in with Kiosk mode 1. Click the LOG IN button (in the bottom right corner of screen). Login steps 2. Use either the keyboard to enter a username and password, or click the keyboard icon and use a mouse to enter the text. The administrator default User name and Password are admin and admin. NOTE After logging in, the TOOLS button replaces the LOG IN button. NOTE The on-screen keyboard is found beside many fields and can be used for data entry. As you click on the alphanumeric symbols, the data appears in the small text field below the keys. Click the Input key (not the Enter key) to confirm what you type. Click the X to close this keyboard. 2.2.2 Log Out user From the Tools menu, click Log Out. The current user is logged out and the TOOLS button is replaced by a LOG IN button. 2.2.3 User accounts DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ systems initially contain a default administrator (“admin”) account. The admin account name cannot be deleted or renamed; you can, however, change the admin account password, which we recommend that you do for security DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 5 SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE purposes. You can create other user accounts with administrator (unlimited) privileges, user roles with specific privileges, and user IDs for those roles. NOTE If you forget your password or it is not working, do the following: Press and hold SHIFT+ALT+0+9 and then release, then press and hold CTRL+ALT+0+9 and then release. Appendix I in this guide provides steps for resetting a lost password. 2.2.4 Exiting and shutting down the recorder To exit the DIGIOP® recorder click TOOLS > Exit Recorder. Exiting the recorder does not shut down the computer After you Exit Recorder, you can access Microsoft Windows programs, features, and functions, including network connections, printer setup, search, DOS prompts, and external storage devices, such as USB memory, CDs, etc.  CAUTION 6 After an Exit Recorder, several system-related applications are still running. Tampering with these can cause severe damage and irreversibly affect the system. Do NOT change computer system- and server-related settings unless directed to do so by DIGIOP® Support. www.digiop.com SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE 2.2.5 Shutting down the system NOTE Shutting down the system through the Shut Down option can only be performed by someone with administrator privileges. As a last resort, or if directed by DIGIOP Support, the system can still be shut down with the power button. However, powering off the server in this way is improper can cause software and database problems. To shut down the recorder and the computer. 1. If you are logged out of the recorder, click LOG IN. 2. Enter the administrator username and password. 3. Click TOOLS, then select Shut Down to close the server application and power off the computer.  CAUTION If a user is logged in for 10 minutes without performing any system activity, the system will issue a momentary notification message, then log off the user. The system will continue to run and the user can login again at any time. 2.2.6 Pause Recording To pause (stop) recording, click TOOLS > Pause Recording. If no user actions are performed with the recorder, it resumes recording after 15 minutes. You must pause the recording to change recording type parameters (FPS, resolution, schedule, etc.). DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 7 SECTION 2: USING DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ SOFTWARE NOTE If any option in the Configure menu is unexpectedly disabled (i.e., “greyed out”), click Pause Recording then try again. 2.2.7 Restarting the recorder from the TOOLS menu You can restart the recorder directly from the TOOLS menu while the application is running by clicking Restart Recorder. Use Restart Recorder to refresh the system, if necessary. Normally, changes made in DIGIOP® Control will sync to DIGIOP® Core within 15 seconds. The server will reconfigure itself after adding cameras without requiring a restart. 2.3 Switching between Service/Kiosk modes Normally, hDVRs only operate in Kiosk mode and NVRs only operate in Service mode. It is possible to change modes within the DIGIOP® Core software, but do so only if instructed by DIGIOP Support. The following procedure is provided as a reference. 1.

To set motion detection areas, see “Adding motion detection areas”. IP camera motion detection – May vary by model; see the manufacturer’s documentation for more information 6 Scene Loss Sensitivity button When checked, activates a feature to detect changes in the brightness of the camera field of view to trigger an alarm or an email. 7 Enable Audio Turns on audio recording if it is enabled in the camera. Before enabling audio, recording mode must be paused. (Audiocapable cameras only. Checkbox is not shown on this display.) 8 Security Screen Mode When checked, the application records camera video without displaying it to the current user. In this mode, you can only see the default image with the message “Security Screen.” Each camera can be individually configured for this mode. Also, images are not streamed to Remote Viewing applications. 9 Watch Mode When checked, the application does not record video and only displays the default image. Also, no images are streamed to Remote Viewing applications. If you change to Watch Mode while viewing remotely, a message appears on the remote application and the image freezes. Activating Watch mode deactivates the Security Screen mode, Recorded Video Quality, and Motion Detection Sensitivity options. 10 Recorded video quality Adjusts the compression level based on the selected compression type (MPEG, MPEG4, H.264). Moving the slide control to the far left produces small files with low resolution to maximize hard drive storage capacity; moving the slide control to the far right maximizes the video quality for viewing, but requires more hard drive space. IP camera recording quality – May vary by model; see the manufacturer’s documentation for more information 11 Scene Loss Sensitivity adjustment Sets the sensitivity in the camera’s field of view. Scene Loss alarms could be triggered by something sprayed on or draped over the camera lens. 12 Pre Motion/ Post Motion Sets the time in seconds for video recording before and/or after motion is detected. The range for pre- and post-recording is 0 - 15 seconds. 13 Motion Detection Sensitivity Defines the amount of movement (motion) required within motion-sensitive areas before the system recognizes it as an activation trigger. If the camera is monitoring a distant image and the expected movement is very slight, the sensitivity needs to be very high. If the image is a doorway and only people are to be detected rather then small pets, the sensitivity can be set low. IP camera motion sensitivity may vary by model. See the manufacturer’s documentation for more information. 14 Recording trigger Sets incoming video as a trigger for recording. Click Continuous to change the setting to Motion. IMPORTANT: Each time you restart the system, it defaults to Continuous recording. To retain the Motion setting after a restart, set this option in the Schedule tab. IP camera triggers – May vary by model; see the manufacturer’s documentation for more information ADDING IP CAMERAS AND DEVICES IP cameras or other IP device are added to DIGIOP® Control through the DIGIOP® Control interface. See DIGIOP® Control Usage in this document. 42 www.digiop.com SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE SETTING SCENE LOSS SENSITIVITY Scene loss occurs when the camera view is obscured in some way, such as when someone spray paints the camera lens or drapes a cloth over it. The Scene Loss detection software scans the incoming camera image and checks for brightness variations in the image. Generally, video from a camera varies in brightness over the field of view. If someone drapes a cloth over the lens, the entire field of view of the camera becomes almost black. This decrease in brightness variation over the whole image triggers a scene loss alarm. A scene loss alarm can be configured to send an email notification. NOTE Scene loss detection can be used with all IP cameras and S-class analog video. It may not function with some H-class systems. 1. From the Camera window, highlight a camera. 2. Check the Scene Loss Sensitivity checkbox. 3. Set the scene loss sensitivity from Low to High with the slider. Range is from Low to High, 1-100; default=20. NOTE In most cases, set the Scene Loss Sensitivity up to but not quite at a level to spontaneously trigger a scene loss alarm. This helps ensure that any blockage of the camera view is enough to trigger the alarm. For example, a camera pointing toward a bare wall indoors requires a lower sensitivity setting, otherwise the bare wall itself may set off the alarm. On the other hand, a camera set up outdoors generally requires a higher sensitivity setting, since an outside image usually contains more brightness and color variation. SETTING PRE MOTION AND POST MOTION DETECTION INTERVALS The Pre Motion and Post Motion detection intervals let you retain (record) video leading up to and after an event. This additional video can provide important information about the context within which the event occurred. NOTE 1. Continuous mode deactivates pre-motion and post-motion recording. Change to Motion mode to enable this feature. From the Camera window, highlight a camera. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 43 SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE 2. Move the selection arrows to the desired number of seconds for the selected interval. Range 0-15 seconds. Pre Motion default = 0 seconds; Post Motion default = 2 seconds. ADDING MOTION DETECTION AREAS You can add motion detection areas over doors, windows, parking areas, etc. to detect motion that will initiate video recording. Motion detection begins after you define motion areas are defined: 1. From the Camera window, uncheck Cover Entire Area. The Motion Detection Area is then outlined with a red border. 2. Click on the image in the viewing area to add to motion areas. The motion areas appear as red squares around an X: —— —— —— —— 3. Left mouse button adds motion areas. Hold down the left mouse button and drag to select multiple areas.

Sensors are also called “inputs,” while Controls are also called “outputs” or “relay outputs.” Generally, a sensor (input) is connected to a dry set of normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) contacts. A dry a contact of a relay does not make or break a current; usually a relay or other device starts or stops current flow. NOTE 50 The use of end-of–line resistors or balanced-input resistors is not recommended. However, you can connect some external I/O device requiring 2.2 KΩ resistors. www.digiop.com SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 8 13 15 14 16 20 9 Table 7. Sensor/Control tab Item Name Description 1 Enable Sensors and Controls Activates the sensor and controls configuration. 2 Sensor Blue – Sensor available; Yellow – Sensor selected; Grey – Sensor unavailable. NOTE: Sensors 1-4 can be either physical or “virtual” (detect video and network loss and recording failures; not PTZ or triggers). The remaining sensors up to 32 (this number varies by DIGIOP® model) can be set for virtual sensors. Sensor 4 has a special control for Auto Shutdown used in conjunction with a UPS backup device. See Item 9 in this table for more information. 3 Sensor Time By default, sensors and controls are scheduled for 24 hr operation (From hour 0, To hour 24). NOTE: For comprehensive scheduling of sensor monitoring, go to TOOLS > Configure > Schedule. 4 Cameras associated with selected Sensor List of available cameras that you can associate with a sensor. Camera icon colors indicate different camera types (analog or IP) and camera states (available, unavailable, etc.). See Table 4 for a list of camera icons. 5 PTZ Preset Lets you activate a PTZ Preset when a sensor is triggered. For example, a door sensor can trigger a camera to pan to a door; a keypad swipe can trigger a camera to pan to an entry. 6 External Output connected to each Sensor Sets up a Control to activate when a sensor is triggered. Turns red if mapped to the current selection. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 51 SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE Item Name Description 7 Sensor Recording Time Sensor Active Duration – Camera records the entire time the Sensor is activated Use Predefined Time – Activates slide control timer that lets you record from 3 seconds to 5 minutes, once triggered by a sensor. 8 Recording Time control slider Sets the amount of recording time after the sensor is activated (from 3 seconds – 5 minutes). 9 Use No. 4 sensor for Auto Shutdown In conjunction with the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the Auto Sensor protects the system against surges, spikes, and momentary power loss during a power failure. The system shuts down approximately 1 minute after this time period. If the UPS contains an output for power protection, you can wire the sensor to the UPS so the DVR is notified to start Auto Shutdown when a certain power condition occurs. Example Sensor 4 Auto Shutdown – If your UPS runs for 5 minutes, set the UPS Battery Backup to 3-4 minutes to allow an extra minute required to shut down. When power is provided to the UPS, the system starts up and resumes recording. 10 Sensor Etc Motion Sensor – Displays motion detection and records the event. Display mode freeze after sensor – System automatically displays a full-screen image in response to an alarm; this overrides the current display mode. 11 Relay Type N/O –normally open (the sensor closes the circuit on activation) N/C – normally closed (the sensor opens the circuit on activation) 12 Recording Mode NOTE: Applies to sensor activations (does not apply to motion detection activations) Optimize FPS – Applies any available frames (up to 29) to the camera when a sensor is triggered. If the camera recording is set for sensor (S), motion/sensor (M,S), or Continuous/Sensor (C/S), the recording is “optimized” when the sensor is triggered. The DVR records at the maximum available frame rate (FPS) during the entire sensor alarm (but not during the pre-alarm period). For a multi-screen display (split screen), the camera on which the alarm occurs enlarges to full screen. After the alarm period expires, the image returns to the original multi-screen display. Normal – Records from sensor activation at the user-defined frame rate. Example Optimize Frames Per Second: If video is being recorded at 5 fps, then when the sensor is triggered, the camera records at 25 fps. When the Sensor Recording Time ends, recording returns to 5 fps. Example Normal: If video is being recorded at 5 fps continuous or motion, it will stay at 5 fps on sensor activation. Sensor activation does not change the image size. A red border appears around the image to alert about the alarm. 13 Sensor Type N/O –normally open (the sensor closes the circuit on activation) N/C – normally closed (the sensor opens the circuit on activation) 14 Sensor Alarm Plays a sound if the sensor is tripped. When this is selected the system beeps on sensor activation. Each sensor can be individually set. 15 UsePreAlarm PreAlarm Duration – Length of pre-alarm video (1-6 seconds) prefixed to the video recorded when a sensor is 16 52 activated. Video is saved on the DIGIOP® DVR at the “normal” recording frame rate. When an alarm is activated, pre-alarm and the post-alarm video is stored in one video record. PreAlarm Temp Drive –PreAlarm video is cached here pending sensor activation. Video loss detection Takes control of your last output control relay, activating it for 1-2 seconds when the system detects video loss on any connected camera. Network Loss Detection Allows the system to detect a system network failure and logs it to the Event Log Recording Failure Alarm If a video channel fails to record to the HDD (e.g., HDD is damaged), the second-to-last control relay activates a recording failure. You can connect an external device to notify an alarm panel or siren of the recording failure www.digiop.com SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE ENABLING SENSORS AND CONTROLS The Sensor / Controls let you set up system sensors (inputs) and controls (outputs). 1. Place a check mark in the Enable Sensors and Controls checkbox. 2. Select a sensor from the list of those that are available.

To access this set of tools, from the Search window, click the TOOLS button. This opens the menu shown here. 2. Select a tool. Search Tools are described in the following sections. USING THE SMART SEARCH TOOL Smart Search (also called “Museum Search”) lets you analyze video for movement after it has been recorded. Beginning with a video recording, you draw motion-sensitive areas directly onto the image. Any activity occurring within these areas creates an event that the software then logs to the Smart Search list. For example, you might want to know the specific time(s) that cars entered and exited a parking lot, but you did not set up motion sensitive areas to detect these as they occurred. With Smart Search, you can return to the video and perform a post-video analysis of it. Smart Search logs any motion found in the areas you setup up for motion detection. RUNNING A SMART SEARCH 1. From the main DIGIOP® window, select TOOLS > Search. The main Search window opens. 2. Click on a camera image you want to analyze. The border of the selected camera is highlighted.

DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 91 SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE —— Square –Click on the desired location on the image and then drag the mouse to define a “square” region. Block Square NOTE 11. Multiple blocks and squares can be added to a single image to create the motion sensitive regions you want. Blocks and squares may overlap. Check Move to move blocks and squares to new locations. You can also Delete them. 12. Place a check mark in View Search Process to view all video, not just the images where movement is detected. NOTE When this option is unchecked, the only images that are previewed are those where movement is detected. In this case, if no event is found, the image does not change. 13. In the Search Option frame, adjust the Sensitiveness slide control for the percent of movement required to trigger an event. The number of events appearing on the event log reflects the sensitivity of the regions, i.e., 100% sensitivity generates more events. 0% – Not sensitive to movement 100% – Very sensitive to any changes in the defined regions. 14. If you would like to speed up the search process, check the Quick Search option. Searches may be done up to 20% faster using this option. NOTE 92 During testing, a 10-minute recording was completed approximately 20% faster with Quick Search. Search times typically take 60 seconds for 10 minutes of video. The Quick Search only reviews the “index” images and ignores the other images. In a relatively motionless scene, this option could save considerable search time. If the Quick Search option is not selected, the search feature reviews every image recorded. www.digiop.com SECTION 4: USING KIOSK MODE 15. Begin the search by clicking Search Next Movement. The search pauses at the first event (i.e., movement is detected inside a defined sensitive region). Each event detected in this way appears in the list with a start and stop time. 16.

DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 111 APPENDIX E: FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS APPENDIX E File Naming Conventions NOTE Drives A through to F are reserved for the operating system. The Server application saves recorded images on the G:/ drive. When the G:/ drive is full, images are saved to the H:/ drive. When the H:/ drive is full (or if no H: drive exists), images are saved to the I:/ drive, etc. NOTE Any drive 4GB or greater in size is considered a storage device by the system. DAILY DIRECTORIES Each day the system runs, the Server application creates a new directory under DiSSTech\DiSS. These daily directories are formatted as YEAR-MONTH-DAY (yyyymmdd). Example: The directory called 20110601 is for June 1, 2011. 112 www.digiop.com APPENDIX E: FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS File Naming Convention In each daily directory, files are saved in encrypted .DSF and index (.INX) format. The .DSF file can be viewed using a utility, such as the DIGIOP® Connect remote access viewer or the DIGIOP® Enterprise viewer. These hour files are in the format HOUR (24 hours)–MINUTE–SECOND–CAMERA CODE–Event Type, using two digits each (hhmmsscc). Example: The file called 09244102D.DSF is the hourly video file for the .INX and .DSF files in directory 20110601. Files are for 0924 hours (9:24 AM) For the example above: • • • • • HOUR = 09 (9 AM)) MINUTE = 24 minutes SECOND = 41 seconds CAMERA CODE = Camera 00 (Camera 1 is 00, Camera 2 is 01, Camera 3 is 02, etc.) Event Type = D The video file size depends largely on the duration of the recording, the recording modes (e.g., motion versus continuous), and compression type.

For additional questions, please contact DIGIOP® Support at 1.877.972.2522. G.1 Dell Optiplex XE hardware common error indications POWER BUTTON LIGHT CODES The diagnostic lights give much more information about the system state, but legacy power light states are also supported in your computer. The power light states are shown in following table. Power Light State Description Off Power is off, light is blank. Blinking Amber Initial state of light at power up. Indicates system has power, but the POWER_GOOD signal is not yet active. If the Hard Drive light is off, it is probable that the power supply needs to be replaced. If the Hard Drive light on, it is probable that an onboard regulator or VRM has failed. Look at the diagnostic lights for further information. Solid Amber Second state of the light at power up. Indicates the POWER_GOOD signal is active and it is probable that the power supply is fine. Look at the diagnostic lights for further information. Blinking Green System is in a low power state, either S1 or S3. Look at the diagnostic lights to determine which state the system is in. Solid Green System is in S0 state, the normal power state of a functioning machine. The BIOS will turn the light to this state to indicate it has started fetching op-codes. BEEP CODES If the monitor cannot display error messages during the POST, the computer may emit a series of beeps that identifies the problem or that can help you identify a faulty component or assembly. The following table lists the beep codes that may be generated during the POST. Most beep codes indicate a fatal error that prevents the computer from completing the boot routine until the indicated condition is corrected. Code Cause Code Cause 1-1-2 Microprocessor register failure 1-1-3 NVRAM read/write failure 1-1-4 ROM BIOS checksum failure 1-2-1 Programmable interval timer failure DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 115 APPENDIX G: SERVER HARDWARE TROUBLESHOOTING Code Cause 1-2-2 DMA initialization failure 1-2-3 DMA page register read/write failure 1-3 Video Memory Test failure 1-3-1 through 2-4-4 Memory not being properly identified or used 3-1-1 Slave DMA register failure 3-1-2 Master DMA register failure 3-1-3 Master interrupt mask register failure 3-1-4 Slave interrupt mask register failure 3-2-2 Interrupt vector loading failure 3-2-4 Keyboard Controller Test failure 3-3-1 NVRAM power loss 3-3-2 Invalid NVRAM configuration 3-3-4 Video Memory Test failure 3-4-1 Screen initialization failure 3-4-2 Screen retrace failure 3-4-3 Search for video ROM failure 4-2-1 No timer tick 4-2-2 Shutdown failure 4-2-3 Gate A20 failure 4-2-4 Unexpected interrupt in protected mode 4-3-1 Memory failure above address 0FFFFh 4-3-3 Timer-chip counter 2 failure 4-3-4 Time-of-day clock stopped 4-4-1 Serial or parallel port test failure 4-4-2 Failure to decompress code to shadowed memory 4-4-3 Math-coprocessor test failure 4-4-4 Cache test failure DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS To help troubleshoot a problem, your computer has four lights labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the bank panel. When the computer starts normally, the lights flash before turning off. If the computer malfunctions, the sequence of the lights help to identify the problem. 116 www.digiop.com APPENDIX G: SERVER HARDWARE TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE Light Pattern After the computer completes POST, all four lights turn off before booting to the operating system. Problem Description Troubleshooting Steps The computer is in a normal off condition or a possible pre-BIOS failure has occurred. The diagnostic lights are not lit after the computer successfully boots to the operating system. Plug the computer into a working electrical outlet If the problem persists, contact Dell. A possible processor failure has occurred. Reseat the processor (see Processor information for your computer). If the problem persists, contact Dell. Memory modules are detected, but a memory failure has occurred. If two or more memory modules are installed, remove the modules, then reinstall one module and restart the computer. If the computer starts normally, continue to install additional memory modules (one at a time) until you have identified a faulty module or reinstalled all modules without error. If available, install working memory of the same type into your computer. If the problem persists, contact Dell. A possible graphics card failure has occurred. Reseat any installed graphics cards. If available, install a working graphics card into your computer. If the problem persists, contact Dell. A possible floppy drive or hard drive failure has occurred. Reseat all power and data cables. A possible USB failure has occurred. Reinstall all USB devices and check all cable connections. No memory modules are detected. If two or more memory modules are installed, remove the modules, then reinstall one module and restart the computer. If the computer starts normally, continue to install additional memory modules (one at a time) until you have identified a faulty module or reinstalled all modules without error. If available, install working memory of the same type into your computer. If the problem persists, contact Dell Memory modules are detected, but a memory configuration or compatibility error has occurred. Ensure that no special requirements for memory module/connector placement exist. Ensure that the memory you are using is supported by your computer (see the Specifications section for your computer). If the problem persists, contact Dell. A possible expansion card failure has occurred. Determine if a conflict exists by removing an expansion card (not a graphics card) and restarting the computer. If the problem persists, reinstall the card you removed, then remove a different card and restart the computer. Repeat this process for each expansion card installed. If the computer starts normally, troubleshoot the last card removed from the computer for resource conflicts. If the problem persists, contact Dell. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 117 APPENDIX G: SERVER HARDWARE TROUBLESHOOTING Light Pattern Problem Description Troubleshooting Steps Another failure has occurred. Ensure that all hard drive and optical drive cables are properly connected to the system board. If there is an error message on the screen identifying a problem with a device (such as the floppy drive or hard drive), check the device to make sure it is functioning properly. If the operating system is attempting to boot from a device (such as the floppy drive or optical drive), check system setup to ensure the boot sequence is correct for the devices installed on your computer. If the problem persists, contact Dell G.2 Dell Optiplex 790, Optiplex 990 hardware common error indications BEEP CODES The system can emit a series of beeps during start-up if the display cannot show errors or problems. These series of beeps, called beep codes, identify various problems. The delay between each beep is 300 ms, the delay between each set of beeps is 3 sec, and the beep sound lasts 300 ms. After each beep and each set of beeps, the BIOS should detect if the user presses the power button. If so, BIOS will jump out from looping and execute the normal shutdown process and power system.

These LEDs do not indicate the problem that caused the POST routine to stop. The diagnostic LEDs are located on the front of the chassis next to the power button. These diagnostic LEDs are only active and visible during the POST process. The diagnostic lights will blink when the power button is amber or off, and will not blink when it is blue. This has no other significance. Once the operating system starts to load, they turn off and are no longer visible. The system includes pre-POST and POST LEDs in an attempt to help pinpointing a possible problem with the system easier and more accurate. Diagnostic LEDs Power Button LED Problem Description Troubleshooting Steps The computer is either turned off or is not receiving power. Re-seat the power cable in the power connector at the back of the computer and the electrical outlet. Bypass power strips, power extension cables, and other power protection devices to verify that the computer turns on properly. Ensure that any power strips being used are plugged into an electrical outlet and are turned on. Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another device, such as a lamp. Ensure that the main power cable and front panel cable are securely connected to the system board.

Questions to ask beforehand (to help find root cause of issue): • • • Was the unit working beforehand? If so, for how long? Did anything happen that may have caused this (lightning strike, power failure)? Is this unit on a UPS? If so, is it connected on the power-protected side and not the surge side? H.2 Troubleshooting Questions/Suggestions  CAUTION • • • • • • • • • • • This installation should be performed only by a qualified service person; it should conform to all municipal codes. Verify that the power lead going into the system is live. Check that the power switch is turned on. Visually inspect whether the LEDs are on and the power supply and CPU fans are operating. Switch the power cord to another outlet. Switch to another power cord. Open the cover to check voltages with a voltmeter on the power supply. These should be 12v and 5v. Inspect the main board for bulging capacitors. Check the processor heat sink and make sure it is properly installed. Check the diagnostic lights for hardware reference. Boot the system with the Recovery CD in the drive. Go into the Tools area and then the Diagnostics (Dells Only), then check whether the hard drive detects any problems. If not, try another power connector. DIGIOP® Technical Support will have to open a trouble ticket with Dell and possibly dispatch an on-site technician in coordination with the servicing dealer. Or, a replacement part may be sent. If all these items have been checked and the problem still cannot be solved in the field, contact DIGIOP® Support at 1.877.572.2522. DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Technical Guide 125 APPENDIX H: SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING H.3 Auto Reboot occurs when the Server is running Unit auto reboots from within the Server software: • • • • • • • • • Check all camera signals. The voltage should be 1.0 - 1.5 volts from peak to peak. Make sure the capture card is detected by the unit and that the drivers are properly installed. Unplug all camera signals from the system and monitor for up to several hours. Check the Event Log for references to the root cause of the error. Check the Microsoft Windows Event Viewer for the root cause of the error. Perform a factory field recovery in case this is caused by software corruption. Check the memory module(s) and make sure it is properly seated. Uninstall and reinstall it. If there are multiple modules, remove each and test each individually. Perform Western Digital® Data Lifeguard Tools with the option to write zeros to the drive (located on Recovery Media of version 6.10.2 and above). If all these items have been checked and the problem still cannot be solved in the field, contact DIGIOP® Support at 1.877.572.2522. H.4 Auto Reboot occurs before the Server launches Unit reboots before loading Windows and/or the DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ Server software: • • • • • If unit reboots after completing POST (power on self test), the problem could be in the hardware, memory, hard disk, and/or motherboard. If the unit loads Windows and reboots when attempting to load the software, check the Microsoft Windows System Device manager for conflicts with device drivers. Re-install driver(s), as needed. Load the BIOS update from the Recovery disk. Perform field recovery with the factory setting options. If all these items have been checked and the problem still cannot be solved in the field, contact DIGIOP® Support at 1.877.572.2522. H.5 Unit powers on then shuts off The unit powers on, but only stays on for about 3-4 seconds before it shuts off: • • • • • 126 Check the heat sink and the processor. Make sure all the latches are secured and the CPU is properly installed. Make sure the processor has the correct amount of thermal solution (thermal grease) between the heat sink and the processor. Check the memory module(s) and make sure it is properly seated. Uninstall it and reinstall. If there are multiple modules take each one out and test each individually. Check all power cables coming from the power supply. Check voltages coming from power supply; these should be 12v and 5v. www.digiop.com APPENDIX H: SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING • • Check the Dell diagnostic lights for the associated hardware reference (see tables above in this guide).
