This hardware and user guide provides important information for owners of the NEXIO AMP Generation 6
video server, the latest edition of the advanced media platform from Harris Broadcasting. This guide includes
information for both the Integrated and Shared Storage Transmission Server, the NXAMP3801HDI and
NXAMP3801HDX, respectively.
The 3RU NEXIO AMP®Server has undergone a transformation under the hood as it incorporates new
hardware including new processors, motherboard, graphic card and much more. As with its predecessor, the
NEXIO AMP Generation 6 supports up to 8 channels of SD-only I/O or up to 4 channels of mixed HD and SD
media. It is a resolution-independent platform supporting concurrent streams of SD, 720P, 1080i and 1080p
7
NXAMP3801HDX/HDI Configurations
NEXIO AMP Generation 6 is available in a variety of configurations. The available configurations are shown in
Table 1-1. The Software License Card provided with your server shows which configuration you have
purchased. If you want to upgrade to a different configuration, contact Harris BCD Support for an additional
license.
Refer to Regional Service Contact Information on page 2.

RAID 1 (Mirroring) protects data from drive failure
by simultaneously writing the same data to two
hard drives. Since each drive is an exact duplicate
of the other, you can continue working if one fails.

Fiber Optical Drive Carrier Indicator
Each SAS3/SATA drive carrier (Figure 2-4) has one fiber optical carrier indicator on the front of the carrier.

USB Ports
The NXAMP3801HDX/HDI has two Universal Serial ports on the front panel.
The following USB devices can be used as sources and destinations when moving content in and out of the
server:
NXUSBLTC
NXUSBTC (for time code power only)
USB CD-ROM/R/RW drives (source only)
USB DVD-ROM/RW/RAM drives (source only)
USB hard drives
USB thumb drives
NXAMP3801HDX/HDI supports USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.
175-100423-00
Refer to the NXUSBLTC User Guide for support of one LTC input per channel and one LTC output per
channel. NXUSBLTC is ideal if you want to preserve LTC input timecode from VTRs and other sources, and if
you are using downstream devices that require an LTC input, such as closed caption inserters.
SYS ID Front Panel Indicator/Switch
The front panel has a SYS ID alternate action pushbutton switch that illuminates blue, when pressed or
released from the front panel, allowing you to identify the applicable server from the front and back.
Drive Configuration
The NXAMP3801HDX/HDI disk subsystem is factory configured with the operating system on drive 0. The
NXAMP3801HDI comes with eight media drives for internal storage. Additional media drives can be
purchased for added storage.
Server media drives - Optional SAS3 drives in RAID 3 or RAID 6. See RAID Configurations on
page 21.
Operating System - Drive 0 or optional RAID 1. See RAID Configurations on page 21.
