Introduction

Avigilon provides an optional 2 nd CPU kit for the NVR6 and AI NVR 2 Standard Form D. These kits provide all the components needed to add CPU redundancy to an NVR.

Confirm Package Contents

Confirm that the kit you are installing contain the following components:

• 2nd CPU Kit (NVR6-2NDCPU):
  • 1 × Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y
  • 1 × R750xs Heatsink Customer Kit
  • 2 × 8GB – 3200Mhz DDR4 RDIMMs

Recommended Tools

The following tools are not included in the kit package, but are needed to complete the installation:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Torx #T30 screwdriver
• Wrist-grounding strap connected to the ground
• ESD Mat

IMPORTANT

It is recommended that you always use an antistatic mat and antistatic strap while working on components inside the system.

Installing the 2nd CPU kit

NOTE

If the NVR is an operating part of your security system, be aware that it must be shut down to complete this procedure.

Before installing the kit:

1. Turn off the NVR, 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.
   CAUTION
   Opening or removing the system cover while the system is powered on may expose you to a risk of electric shock.

2. Disconnect the NVR from the electrical outlet.

3. Remove all network, power and peripheral cables from the NVR.

4. If applicable, remove the NVR from the rack.
   IMPORTANT
   Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.

Opening the Cover

1. At the top of the NVR, 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 NVR for the first time.

2. Remove the air shroud by holding it at both ends and lifting it away from the system.

Installing the CPU

You need the processor bracket, processor (CPU), and heatsink provided in the kit to complete this procedure. With the NVR 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.

3. Place the processor carrier on top of the processor that is in the processor tray aligning pin 1 indicator on the processor.
   NOTE
   Ensure that the pin 1 indicator on the bracket is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before carrier on the processor.

4. Align the processor with processor carrier by using your fingers to press the carrier on all the four sides until it clicks into place.
   NOTE
   Ensure that the processor is securely latched to the processor carrier.

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.
   MPORTANT
   To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
   Ensure that the pin 1 indicator on the heat sink is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the carrier before placing the heat sink onto the processor carrier.
   Ensure latching features on processor carrier and heat sink are aligned during assembly

7. Locate the 2nd processor socket on the NVR’s system board 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 heatsink module is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.

IMPORTANT
Do not force the processor into the socket. The processor should slide easily into the socket when aligned correctly.

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. Tighten the nut diagonally opposite to the nut you tighten first.
   c. Tighten the nut diagonally opposite to the nut you tighten first.
   d. Return to the first nut to tighten it completely.
   e. Check all the nuts to ensure they are firmly secured.

IMPORTANT
Do not over-tighten or strip the screws.

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 tallic contacts.
• When installing a DIMM, apply pressure to both ends of the memory module evenly. Do not apply pressure to the middle.
• If you are removing a DIMM permanently, replace the component with a DIMM blank. The DIMM slots must always have a DIMM installed or a DIMM blank inserted.

1. In the row of empty memory sockets near the newly installed CPU, locate sockets B1 and B2.

NOTE
Install both provided DIMMs only in the slots indicated. Configurations not following this sequence are not supported and may result in non-optimal memory performance or other unexpected behavior.

2. Open the ejector clips on each side of the empty memory module sockets outward to allow the DIMMs to be inserted into the sockets.
3. Align the edge connector of the DIMMs with the alignment key of the sockets and press the DIMMs into sockets until the socket levers click into place.

Reattaching the Cover

When all the components of the kit have been installed:

1. Ensure all expansion card latches are closed and there are filler covers for all empty slots.
2. Close and lock the NVR access panel.
3. If the NVR was rack mounted and removed to install the kit, remount it into the rack.
4. Reconnect all the peripherals and cables.
5. Power on the NVR.

Confirming the Installation

Verify the upgrade is successful:

1. Log in to the ACC Client on a workstation on the same network as the NVR.

2. In the System Explorer, click Site Setup, and click Site to expand the site containing the upgraded NVR.

3. Click to select the upgraded NVR.

4. Verify that the NVR has 2 CPUs and 64 GB of memory installed.
   a. In the System Explorer, select the upgraded NVR server.
   b. In the New Task menu , click Site Health.
   c. Under the General Information heading, the sum of Memory usage and System Available Memory should be approximately 64 GB (~64,000 MB).
   d. Under the Temperature Probes heading, you should see readings for CPU1 and CPU2.

5. Verify that the analytics load capacity has increased:
   a. In the System Explorer, select the upgraded NVR.
   b. In the New Task menu  , click Server Analytics . For more information, see the Enabling Analytics topic in the ACC Client Help.

6. c. The number of connected cameras should be the same as before the NVR was upgraded, and the analytics load should be about half of what it was prior to the upgrade.
