Quick start steps for Spectrum X in internal storage configuration
For detailed installation steps, refer to the Spectrum System Installation Guide.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage components. Observe normal ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) procedures when handling Spectrum X components.

GPIO and RS-422 connector pinout
The breakout cable provided for the 60 pin DSUB connector on Spectrum X includes
a GPIO connector, six RS-422 connectors, a Reference In connector, and four MFIO
connectors, which can be configured for LTC and/or AES audio when you attach players in
SystemManager. For full connector details and pinouts, see the Spectrum System Installation Guide.

For complete rack mounting instructions, refer to the instructions provided
with the rack mounting kit, or in the Spectrum System Installation Guide.
1. Rack mount the system
1. Align the bezel in front of the chassis so that the Harmonic logo appears
at the top left corner.
2. Connect the USB cable inside the bezel to the right-hand USB port on the
Spectrum X front panel.
3. Keeping the corners aligned, press the bezel straight onto the chassis.
The USB cable will form a loop that fits inside the metal panel of the bezel.
4. Hand-tighten the two captive thumb screws to secure the bezel in place.

Backside view of bezel
3. Install the bezel
1. Unpack the drives.
2. Press the green release button on the drive carrier to open the lever.
3. Insert the drive carrier into the bay, sliding the drive until it contacts the
backplane.
4. Close the drive carrier release handle to lock the drive into place.

Note: When installing a drive, ensure that the adjacent drive is fully
installed. Inserting a drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next
to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's
shield spring and make it unusable.
To maintain proper system cooling, all externally accessible drive bays
must be populated with a drive carrier.
2. Install the drives

To manage the Spectrum X, you can use either SystemManager or Spectrum
Management, which runs directly on the Spectrum X. If using Spectrum
Management, refer to the Spectrum release notes for log in details. If using
SystemManager, refer to the SystemManager Installation Guide for installation
details.
Refer to the Spectrum System Installation Guide for instructions on connecting
Spectrum X to an Emergency Alert System (EAS).
10. Connect to an EAS (optional)
4. Install SystemManager (optional)
10 Gb Ethernet Switch
(for 2022-6 traffic only)

(optical SFP or copper)
To 2022-6 Inputs/Outputs
Spectrum X rear panel
Important: Connect the 10 Gb I/O module directly to the 10 Gb switch dedicated
to 2022-6 traffic. Do not connect the 10 Gb I/O module to any switch other than
the one that is dedicated to 2022-6 traffic.
The following diagram shows one example. For detailed instructions, see the
Spectrum System Installation Guide.
Note: Use 850nm MMF SR transceivers with LC fiber-optic connectors. Either
62.5um or 50um MMF fiber may be used. If using 62.5um, the maximum length
supported is 30 meters.

To Spectrum X
All automation systems differ in their methods of interfacing with the Spectrum X.
The following diagram shows one example. Refer to your automation system’s
installation guide for interconnection details
Note that Spectrum X uses GPIO pin assignments or RS-422 to control graphics
automation. For details on using the breakout cable for GPIO and RS-422, refer to
the “Breakout cable” section in the Spectrum System Installation Guide.
7. Connect to an automation system (optional)
Use the breakout cable to connect reference video to at least one SDI I/O card
on the Spectrum X. On a Spectrum X with two SDI I/O cards, one card passes
reference to the other. You may connect a different type of reference (525 or
625) to each SDI I/O card. However, note that each player attached to a given
SDI I/O card must be configured for the same reference.
If using the 10 Gb I/O module, you can also use PTP reference.
For configuration details, see “Configuring network settings for the 10 Gb
I/O modules” in the SystemManager User Guide.
8. Connect reference video
Important: Failure to connect reference video may result in errors.
9. Connect audio and video I/O
Refer to the rear panel diagrams of the Spectrum X SDI I/O card in this guide for
reference when connecting audio and video I/O.
11. Connect AC power and power up
Note: To take full advantage of the dual redundant power supplies on the Spectrum X,
ensure that separate, isolated power sources are available.
Refer to the Spectrum System Installation Guide for instructions on connecting AC
power and powering up the system.
The following diagram shows one example. For detailed instructions, see the
Spectrum System Installation Guide.
