1. Align the bezel in front of the chassis so that the
front panel display appears in the top-right corner,
and the metal corners of the bezel are level with the
rack ears of the chassis.

Note: Use TWO hands to perform this procedure.

3. Hand-tighten the two captive thumb screws to
secure the bezel in place.

2. Keeping the corners aligned, press the bezel straight
onto the chassis.

Install the Bezel

4. Install the remaining disk drives.

Note: Disk drives can be installed in any order.

1. Unpack a disk drive.

2. Press the red release button on the right side of the
disk drive to release the handle.

Install the Disk Drives

Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage components.

Observe normal ESD [Electrostatic Discharge] procedures
when handling hard drive assemblies.

Spectrum MediaDeck 7000 Rear View

Warning: Safe handling of this system
requires TWO people.

3. Push the drive into the chassis until the handle begins
to close, and then press the handle until it closes. The
handle will click as it closes.

The SystemManager application, used to operate and configure the MediaDeck, comes pre­installed on the SystemManager Platform. The software-only version of SystemManager can be
installed and run on your own client PC.

To install either the SystemManager Platform or the software-only version of SystemManager,
refer to the Harmonic SystemManager Release Notes and Harmonic SystemManager Installation
Guide for instructions. These guides can be downloaded from:

ftp.omneon.com/updates/omneon/current/SystemManager/

The MediaPort 7000 and ChannelPort modules have a female GPIO
connector that can be connected to an external device and used to control
players. On a ChannelPort, this connector also provides RS-422 signals
and can be used to control graphics, or connected to an Emergency Alert
System (EAS). The following describes the connector pins.

Your file transfer system may be any system you use for editing or network storage. The MediaDeck supports file
transfers using FTP, SAMBA, and AFP protocols.

4. Attach an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet switch, and then attach the other end to the LAN port on your file
transfer system.

5. Attach an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the second MediaPort 7000 or ChannelPort module, and then attach
the other end to an open port on the Ethernet switch.

Connect to a File Transfer System (Recommended)

Connect to your Gigabit Ethernet Network

6

Note: For the following connections, Harmonic recommends that you use a CAT 5e or CAT 6

Ethernet cable. Do not use a crossover cable or an adapter.

1. Ensure that an Ethernet switch with Gigabit uplink capability has been installed in your
equipment rack.

2. Attach an Ethernet cable to the NIC 1 port on the SystemManager Platform, or an open
LAN port on your client PC. Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet switch.

Note: Do not use the NIC 2 port on the SystemManager Platform unless you have
configured SystemManager as a client, or you are using the NSM-2003. Refer to the
Harmonic SystemManager Installation Guide for details.

3. Attach an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on one of the MediaPort 7000 or ChannelPort
modules, and then attach the other end to an open port on the Ethernet switch. The MediaDeck

uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, or an IP address can be assigned to it statically.

Connect to SystemManager

Important: Check with your network administrator
before connecting to your Ethernet network.

ReferenceReference

1. Connect reference video to one of the Reference connectors.

2. Connect a 75 Ohm BNC terminator to the other Reference connector to terminate
it, or connect it to the next device in line that requires reference video.

Note: Termination must be applied to the last device in the loop.

3. If required, configure VITC lines using the SystemManager. For details, refer to
“Changing MediaDirector Clock Reference VITC Lines” in the Harmonic SystemManager

User Guide.

Make sure to always connect reference video to at least one MediaPort or ChannelPort module
in the MediaDeck. Failure to connect reference video may result in errors. Note that two MediaPort
7000 or ChannelPort modules can share reference video as long as it is connected to one module.

You may also connect a different type of reference (525 or 625) to each MediaPort or ChannelPort
module and the system will automatically select the correct reference type for each attached player.

1. If you are installing two modules, you may need to first remove
a filler panel from the chassis. From the rear of the MediaDeck,
unscrew the two lock screws that secure the filler panel, and then
remove it.

2. Grasp the module handle and push firmly into the
slot. Ensure the module is fully inserted by pressing
on the connectors with the palm of your hand.

Caution: Do not use the two lock screws on the rear
panel of the module to pull it into position. Tighten the
screws only after the module is fully inserted.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for the second module.
