The ReadyRails that ship with exacqVision X-Series NVRs are designed to be toolless when used with server racks that have square or unthreaded round mounting holes on the rack uprights. The following guide describes how to adapt these rails, using tools, for use with rack uprights with threaded round screw holes.
Examine the each end of the rail and take note of the pegs, as indicated in the illustration below.
Insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot at the end of each peg and turn to remove the pegs. Repeat this on the opposite end of the rail.
Remove the end plate. Repeat this at the opposite end of the rail.
Fit the L-bracket on the end of the rail around the upright, facing outward. Use installer provided screws to secure the rail to the rack’s upright. Use the bottom of the bracket for front/rear alignment as the bracket holes are in different positions on the front and rear of the rail.
A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Amber (Blinking)
Indicates an issue with the PSU.
Not Lit
Power is not connected to the PSU.
Green (Blinking)
PSU firmware is being updated.
WARNING: Do not disconnect power or unplug the PSU while firmware is updating. Interruption of this process could lead to PSUs ceasing to function.
Green (Blinking and powers off)
When hot-plugging a PSU, it will blink 5 times at a rate of 4Hz then power off. This indicates a mismatch due to efficiency, features, health status, or supported voltage.
WARNING: If two PSUs are installed, both PSUs must have the same type of label. Mixing PSUs is not supported, even if they have the same power rating.
WARNING: If two identical PSUs receive different input voltages, this can cause different output wattage and trigger a mismatch.
CORRECTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, remove all power from the system then replace the PSU with the blinking indicator.

System Health and ID Indicators
The left control panel on the front of the system acts a button and provides an LED indicator. System ID mode, activated by pressing the control panel on the front of the system, or the ID button on the rear of the system will flash these LEDs to make identification in a server rack, from either side, easier.
