Installation procedure
Opening the cover
Before starting, turn off the NVR5, disconnect all peripherals and power cables, and remove the unit from the rack if necessary. Unlock the latch release at the top of the unit, lift and rotate the latch towards the back to slide the cover off. Remove the air shroud by holding it at both ends and lifting it away.
Replacing RAM
Remove the mid drive tray by lifting the handles 90 degrees upward and lifting the tray out. Locate the memory module sockets. Push the white ejector clips outward on both ends of the socket to release the existing DIMM. Align the edge connector of the new DIMM with the alignment key of the socket and press firmly until the levers click into place.
Reassembly and verification
Reinstall the mid drive tray, the cooling shroud, and close the NVR5 cover. Reconnect all cables and power on the system. To verify the installation, log in to the ACC Client, navigate to Site Setup, and check the Site Health. The total memory should reflect 48 GB for a single-CPU configuration or 96 GB for a dual-CPU configuration.
