Part Number Description NVR5-STD-2NDCPU NVR5 Standard 2 CPU Kit Important: A second power supply (NVR5-PSU-800W) is required in order to enable the 2 CPU Kit...
Installing the NVR5 2 CPU Kit Note: If the NVR5 is an operating part of your security system, be aware that it must be shut down to complete this procedure. Before starting to install the kit: 1. Turn off the NVR5, including all attached peripherals. Press the power button on the front panel, and wait for the light to stop blinking to indicate shutdown is complete.
Opening the Cover 1. At the top of the NVR5, unlock the latch release then lift and rotate the latch towards the back of the unit. The cover slides back and is released from the body. Tip: Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the shipping screws before unlatching the cover if you are removing the cover of an NVR5 for the first time.

Installing the CPU You need the processor bracket, processor (CPU), and heatsink provided in the kit to complete this procedure. With the NVR5 open and the protective cover removed: 1. Unpack the CPU. 2. Place the processor in the processor tray. Note: Ensure that the pin 1 indicator on the processor tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.

5. Unpack the heat sink and remove the protective film from the base of the heat sink. Be careful not to touch the thermal paste that is pre-applied to the bottom of the heat sink. 6. Place the heat sink on the processor and press the heat sink until the carrier locks onto the heat sink at all the four corners.

7. Locate the 2 processor socket and pull off the CPU dust cover over the socket. 8. Align the pin 1 indicator of the processor heat sink module (PHM) to the system board and then place the processor heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket. Important: Ensure that the processor and heat sink module is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.

9. Set the anti-tilt wires to the locked position (outward position), and then use the star-shaped screwdriver #T30 to tighten the screws on the heat sink in the following order: a. In a random order, tighten the first nut three turns. b.
Installing Additional RAM Important: To prevent damage to the DIMM or memory module socket during installation: Do not bend or flex the DIMM. Handle each DIMM only by the edges to ensure that you don't touch the middle of the memory module or the metallic contacts.
Reattaching the Cover When all the components of the kit have been installed: 1. Reinstall the top of the cooling shroud: a. Align the slot on the air shroud with the standoff in the system. b. Lower the air shroud into the system until it is firmly seated. 2.
The number of connected cameras should be the same as before the NVR5 was upgraded, and the analytics load should be about half of what it was prior to the upgrade. Limited Warranty Avigilon warranty terms for this product are provided at avigilon.com/warranty. Confirming the Installation...
