Introduction

The Avigilon Network Video Recorder (NVR5 Standard) is preloaded with Avigilon Control Center (ACC) software and is configured for exceptional performance and reliability. The Network Video Recorder can be easily integrated into any existing Avigilon surveillance system or act as the base of a new site.
Before You Start
Avigilon recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to protect your video surveillance system hardware. A UPS system is used to protect critical equipment from mains supply problems, including spikes, voltage dips, fluctuations and complete power failures using a dedicated battery. It can also be used to power equipment during the time it takes for a standby generator to be started and synchronized.
Any UPS connection must include configuration to shut down the operating system on the appliance when battery power is low or there is 15 minutes of power remaining.
It is recommended that cameras not be connected to the appliance until after the appropriate network configuration has been set up.

Replacing Hard Drives

NOTE
Before powering down the recorder for any upgrade, recovery or maintenance, back up critical recorder data and programs. For more information, see the Windows™ Upgrade and Recovery Guide for Avigilon Systems (link).
The operating system and the Avigilon Control Center software are mirrored on two hard drives at the back of the recorder. If one of the hard drives fail, you can replace the failed drive while the recorder continues to run from the other.
If your recorder is still under warranty, contact Avigilon Technical Support to replace the failed hard drive.
If more than two hard drives fail at the same time, contact Avigilon Technical Support immediately for recovery instructions.
Only replace a hard drive if the hard drive LED indicator and the Server Administrator displays an error.

  1. Open the Server Administrator.

  2. Check which hard drive has failed, then disconnect the drive through the Server Administrator software.
    Hard drives are installed at the front and back of the recorder. Be sure you can identify which hard drive needs to be replaced. Hard drives are installed also in the center of the 192TB or 224TB recorder.

  3. Remove the bezel.

  4. Depending on where the hard drive is located, perform one of the following procedures:

Guidelines
When replacing hard drives, observe the following general guidelines:

  • If only one drive is used, install the drive in the drive bay with the lowest device number. For example:

AVIGILON NVR5 STD 16TB W10 NVR5 Standard - Guidelines WARNING
Opening or removing the system cover while the system is powered on may expose you to a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not operate the system without the cover for a duration exceeding five minutes. Operating the system without the system cover can result in component damage.
CAUTION
To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the system and system fans must be always populated with a component or a blank.

Replacing a Hard Drive Blank
The hard drives on the Network Video Recorder are set up in a RAID configuration. This allows information to be recorded across several hard drives.
If one hard drive fails, there is enough information on the other hard drives for the recorder to continue recording video.
Depending on the recorder model, there may be hard drive blanks at the front of the recorder. You can replace the blanks with hard drives as required.

  1. Remove the bezel.AVIGILON NVR5 STD 16TB W10 NVR5 Standard - Remove the bezela. Unlock the bezel.
    b. Push the release button next to the lock.
    c. Pull the left end of the bezel then unhook the right end to remove the bezel.

  2. Press the release button and slide the blank out of the hard drive slot.

  3. Insert the hard drive all the way into the recorder then push the handle against the hard drive to lock it into place.

    The new hard drive should be automatically added to the Physical Disks list. The list is typically available here: System > Storage > PERC H740P Mini (Embedded) > Connector 0 (RAID) > Enclosure (Backplane) > Physical Disks.

  5. Assign a task to the new hard drive or allow it to exist as an extra storage drive.
    It is recommended to use the new hard drive as a hot spare. Hot spares are hard drives that are available on standby in the event of a hard drive failure in the RAID. If that occurs, you can configure the system to automatically redirect recording to the unused hard drive.

To assign the new hard drive as a hot spare:
a. In the Task list, select Assign and Unassign Global Hot Spare.
b. Click Execute.
If the new hard drive is not displayed in the Server Administrator, try one of the following:

  • Refresh the browser.
  • Reboot the recorder.

Replacing Front or Back Hard Drives

  1. Locate the failed hard drive at the front or back of the recorder, depending on the model.AVIGILON NVR5 STD 16TB W10 NVR5 Standard - Back Hard Drives
  2. Press the release button on the front left of the hard drive.
  3. When the handle is released, pull the hard drive out of the recorder.
  4. Remove the four screws from the side of the hard drive carrier.
