Before starting to install the kit:

1. Turn off the NVR, including all attached peripherals.
2. Disconnect the NVR from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
3. Remove all network, power and peripheral cables from the NVR.
4. If applicable, remove the system from the rack and place on a flat, level surface.

Opening the Cover

1. Remove the complete access panel.

• a. If necessary, unlock the access panel latch.
• b. Press the release button.
• c. Pull up the latch to disengage the access panel from the chassis.
• d. Slide the access panel toward the rear of the server and lift it from the chassis.

NOTE: Turn the access panel over to locate the server access panel label. This label provides convenient access to component identification, LED status indicators, and system maintenance switch settings information.

Installing the 10G Base-T Card in OCP Slot 2

With the NVR open:

1. Unpack the 10G Base-T card.
2. If expansion boards with internal cabling are installed on the center PCI riser cage, disconnect all internal cables from the expansion boards to remove the cage from the server.
3. Remove the center PCI riser cage.
4. Raise the blue release lever on the OCP slot. If an OCP card is present in this slot, remove it.
5. Install the 10G Base-T card in the OCP slot 2:
   • a. Remove the center OCP slot cover from the rear of the NVR.
   • b. Slide the card into the OCP connector through the rear of the NVR.
   • c. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the OCP card connector until the card is fully seated.
   • d. After the card is installed, close the blue release lever to lock the card in place.
6. Reinstall the OCP fan board and PCI riser cage into the NVR and reconnect any internal cables from the expansion boards.

Reattaching the Cover

When all the components of the kit have been installed:
