Introduction
Avigilon provides an optional 10GbE Kit for the AINVR Standard. This kit provides you with a high-speed
Ethernet port for faster connections to your security network of ACC Servers and Clients.
Important: An AINVR Standard with the:
l10GbE Kit installed is supported on Release ACC7.12.4 or later.
l10GbE Kit and the Performance Upgrade Kit installed is supported on Release ACC7.14.2 or
later.
Your organization must upgrade to a release of the ACCsoftware that supports the upgraded
AINVR Standard if it is using an earlier release of the software.
Part Number Description
AINVR-STD-10GBE AINVR Standard 10GbE Kit
Note: If the AINVR is an operating part of your security system, be aware that it must be shut down
to complete this procedure.
Important: If you are installing both the AINVR Standard 10GbE Kit (AINVR-STD-10GBE) and the
AINVR Performance Upgrade Kit (AINVR-STD-PRK) in the AINVR, it is recommended that you install
the components from both kits as follows:

Required Tools 5

Installing the AINVR Standard 10GbE Kit
Before starting to install the kit:
1. Turn off the AI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.
WARNING — Opening or removing the system cover while the system is powered on may
expose you to a risk of electric shock.
2. Disconnect the AINVR from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
3. Remove all network, power and peripheral cables from the AINVR.
4. If applicable, remove the AI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.
5. At the top of the AI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 AINVR for the first time.

The procedure used to install the 10 GbEcard depends on whether or not you have installed, or plan to install
the AINVRStandard Performance Upgrade Kit (AINVR-STD-PRK) in the AINVR. Refer to the following table

Installing the 10GbECard
in Slot 2 of Expansion Riser 1
Use this procedure if you have no plans to install the AINVRPerformance Upgrade Kit in the AINVR.
With the AINVR open:
1. Unpack the 10GbEcard.
2. Remove the pre-installed graphics card in slot 1 of expansion riser 1:
a. Pull the expansion card latch out of its slot.
Note: The card in this illustration does not match the appearance of the actual card
being removed from slot 1.
b. Hold the expansion card by its edges, and pull the card until the card edge connector
disengages from the expansion card connector on the riser.
c. Set aside the graphics card you removed on an ESDmat to reinstall later.
3. Install the 10GbEcard in slot 2 and then reinstall the GPUcard removed from slot 1 back in slot 1. For
each card:
a. Slide the card into the slot guide opposite the connector to align the connector on the card with
the connector on the riser.
b. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully
seated.

Note: This illustration shows how a card is installed in slot 1 and then how the
expansion card latch is closed. The technique to install the 10GbE card in slot 2 is the
same, except it is beneath the card in slot 1 and has to be installed first. The card in this
illustration does not match the appearance of the actual card installed in slot 1.
c. After both cards are installed, push the expansion card latch closed.

Installing the 10GbECard
in Slot 3 of Expansion Riser 1
Use this procedure if the AINVRPerformance Upgrade Kit is installed in the AINVR, or is planned to be
installed.
Important: For early AINVR STD models, the BOSScontroller card is installed in riser 1 slot 3 and
must be moved to the low-profile slot in riser 2 (slot 4), so that the 10GbEcard can be installed in slot
3. If you will be moving the BOSScard, you need the low-profile bracket provided in the kit to
complete this procedure. In newer models the BOSS card is preinstalled in the low-profile slot.
In this procedure, all the cards are removed from expansion riser 1 and the removed cards and the
10GbEcard are then installed as follows:
Card Location
BOSScard (with low profile bracket) if removed from slot 3 Slot 4, expansion riser 2
10GbE card Slot 3, expansion riser 1
2nd GPU (reserved for the AINVRStandard Performance Kit) Slot 2, expansion riser 1
Original GPU Slot 1, expansion riser 1
Installing the 10GbECard in Slot 3 of Expansion Riser 1 10

With the AINVR open:
1. Remove the cards in expansion riser 1:
a. Pull the expansion card latch out of its slot.
Note: The card in this illustration does not match the appearance of the actual cards
being removed from slot 1.
b. Hold the expansion card by its edges, and pull the card until the card edge connector
disengages from the expansion card connector on the riser.
c. Remove the pre-installed graphics card in slot 1 of expansion riser 1.
d. If the graphics card from the AINVRStandard Performance Kit is installed in slot 2, remove it
also.
e. Set aside the graphics cards you removed on an ESDmat to reinstall later.
2. If the BOSScard is present in slot 3 of expansion riser 1:
a. Remove the BOSScard from the slot.
b. Place the BOSScard on an ESDmat, remove the high-profile bracket from the BOSScard, and
attach the provided low-profile bracket.
c. Pull the expansion card latch on the low-profile slot of riser 2 open.
d. Align the connector on the BOSS card with the connector on the riser.

Note: The card in this illustration does not match the appearance of the BOSS card.
e. Slide the card into the slot guide opposite the connector to align the connector on the card with
the connector on the riser.
f. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully
seated.
g. Push the expansion card latch closed.
3. Unpack the 10GbEcard.
4. Install the 10GbEcard in the slot 3 of expansion riser 1.
5. If you removed:
lTwo GPU cards from slots 1 and 2, reinstall them in their original locations.
lOnly one GPU card from slot 1, reinstall it in slot 1.
For each card:
a. Slide the card into the slot guide opposite the connector to align the connector on the card with
the connector on the riser.
b. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully
seated.
Installing the 10GbECard in Slot 3 of Expansion Riser 1 12

Note: This illustration shows how a card is installed in slot 1 and then how the
expansion card latch is closed. The technique to install the cards in slots 2 and 3 are
the same, except they are beneath the card in slot 1 and have to be installed first. The
card in this illustration does not match the appearance of the actual card installed in
slot 1.
c. Push the expansion card latch closed and re-engage the PCIe Lock .
Reattach the AINVR 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 AINVR cover.
3. If the AINVR was rack mounted and removed to install the kit, remount it into the rack.
4. Reconnect all the peripherals and cables.
Important: Ensure that both of the 750W power supplies are connected to mains power. The
upgraded requires both power supplies to properly function.
5. Power on the AINVR.
