Install the hardware  
Before you begin  
There are a few considerations before installing the AXIS Q8108-R.  
The AXIS Q8108-R casing is designed to mount directly on any surface using a minimum of  
4 screws appropriate for the surface type  
The operating temperature range is dependent on the Hard Disk  
Install in an open area allowing for 10mm of space on all sides for cooling and ventilation  
Ensure there is proper fuse protection: 12V DC (10A) or 24V DC (5 A)  
1. Use at least 4 screws appropriate for the surface. The AXIS Q8108-R is designed to install in any  
position, but if it is to be installed in a vertical position the cable shelf should be pointing up for  
optimal heat dissipation.  
Cables should point up when installing in the verical position  
2. Thread the cables through cable shelf. For an IP65 rating use Cable Sealing (not included).  
3. Connect all appropriate cables. See Connect the cables, on page 9.  
4. Attach front cable shelf to AXIS Q8108-R with the four provided screws.  
5. Tighten shelf to clamp cables. This prevents connector damage during operation.

Start up and shut down  
The AXIS Q8108-R starts up automatically when power  
more options. The AXIS Q8108-R automatically does a  
controlled shut down after one minute when the power  
is shut off.  
Internal power button  
Internal power button  
Use this button to manually start up or shut down the AXIS Q8108-R. When pushed briefly the NVR  
will power down in a controlled manner, which will take 15 - 30 seconds. If the button is held down  
for more than 3 seconds the NVR will hard power down. This is useful if for some reason the NVR  
becomes unresponsive.  
The internal power button is also used for resetting the NVR to factory default settings, see  
Resetting to the factor default settings.  
Battery backup function  
The AXIS Q8108-R has an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) designed for short power shortages.  
For periods more than 1 minute, the UPS will provide enough power to the AXIS Q8108-R for a  
controlled shut down.  
A controlled shutdown may not occur if the battery temperature is outside of charging range 0 -  
45°C (32 - 113°F).  
Resetting to the factory default settings  
This will reset parameters to the factory default settings including the password.  
1. Disconnect power from the NVR and remove back cover.  
2. Make sure all indicator LEDs are off (this could take a few moments).  
3. Press and hold the Internal power button and reconnect power.  
4. Release the Internal power button when the power LED is lit.  
These settings will be reset:  
Network configuration is set to factory default (DHCP and UPnP™ off)  
Administrator password is set to "password"  
Power Configuration is set to "Automatic"  
Resetting the NVR to factory default settings will not affect AXIS Camera Station settings or  
recordings.
