1.4 ProView 7000 Mechanical Structure

1.4.1 ProView 7000 Enclosure

The ProView 7000 platform is housed in a 19" 1RU mount ready enclosure. See Figure 1–1. It

includes fans for right to left air passage for side-to-side heat dissipation, the ProView 7000

may be installed in a rack without spacing between units. This allows increased flexibility for

installation of a large number of units in limited space environments and integration with

additional DVB equipment.

1.4.2 ProView 7000 Front Panel

The front panel of the ProView 7000 platform provides an interface to locally manage and

operate the unit.

Figure 1–1: ProView 7000 Platform General View

The front panel includes, a large LCD display for menus and statuses, four direction buttons,

an Enter key an Esc key and two F keys.

Two LEDs show the WARNING and PWR/FAIL statuses.

A two slot DVB-CI (DVB Common Interface/Smart Card interface) enables using up to two

Conditional Access Modules (CAMs) for stream descrambling.

See 5.1.1 Main Elements and Structure for a description of the front panel.

Chapter 1 Introduction ProView 7000 Management

1.4.3 ProView 7000 Rear Panel

The rear panel of the ProView 7000 platform includes all of the required professional input

and output connectors. The AC connector and power switch are also located on the rear

panel as well as the GND lug for grounding the unit when installed in a rack. The rear panel is

provided in various configurations as required for different applications. See Appendix B,

Ports and Connectors for a description of the ports and connectors.

1.5 ProView 7000 Management

The ProView 7000 Platform provides a wide range of methods for local and remote

monitoring and management:

Local Front Panel Control

The ProView 7000 front panel provides an easy to use management interface using the large

LCD screen and intuitive controls.

Remote Element Management System (EMS)

The ProView 7000 EMS provides an extensive graphic user interface (GUI) for managing the

device.

Network Management System

The ProView 7000 platform provides monitoring access to Network Management Systems

using its SNMP agent.

ProView 7000 Redundancy

Use NMX management for redundancy to ensure continued service in the event that a device

malfunctions. You can use a single or multiple backup ProView 7000s to ensure continued

service with a single or multiple primary ProView 7000s. This feature is limited to the

management of up to 2 output ports, ASI or SDI.

NOTE: The devices must be identical in hardware configuration, port structure and license.

See the Harmonic NMX Installation/Setup Guide for operating instructions. NMX version 5.6

is required.

Hardware Installation

The sections are:

■Safety Precautions

■Inventory Check

■Power Supply to the Unit

■Installing the Unit in a Rack

■Insertion of the DVB-CI Module (PCMCIA)

■Electrical Power Connection

■Connecting the Cables

■Switching On

2.1 Safety Precautions

To avoid injury and prevent equipment damage, observe the following safety precautions:

■Do not move or ship equipment unless it is correctly packaged in its original wrapping and

shipping containers.

■Only Harmonic trained personnel can perform service and maintenance.

■To prevent lightning damage, ground the unit according to local regulations.

■Do not permit unqualified personnel to operate the unit.

2.2 Inventory Check

Before installation, ensure that all the equipment and the attached parts are available and

undamaged, according to the following list:

CAUTION: If anything is missing or damaged, do not continue with the installation and report to your

Harmonic support representative.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Power Supply to the Unit

2.3 Power Supply to the Unit

To ensure correct and safe operation of the unit, ensure the following:

■Ensure that a qualified electrician has installed the main power supply in accordance with

power authority regulations. Make sure all powering must be wired with an earth leakage,

according to local regulations.

■When the unit is rack-mounted, ensure that the rack is correctly grounded.

DANGER: To avoid electrocution, ensure that the rack has been correctly grounded before switching on

the ProView 7000 device. When removing the unit, remove the grounded connection only after the unit is

switched off and unplugged.

2.4 Installing the Unit in a Rack

CAUTION: For rack installation, ensure that a designated 19" rack is fully prepared for installation.

Ensure sufficient space behind the rack for easy access for installation and maintenance. Rack mounting

requires the use of special “L” shape slides, available from Harmonic. The amount of units installed in a

rack is a function of the units’ power consumption and heat dissipation. Address Harmonic support for

calculating the maximum load on the rack.

The following sections detail the installation of a ProView 7000 unit in a 19" rack using the

dedicated mounting slides.

2.4.1 Fitting the Brackets

To fit the brackets:

1. Fit a pair of brackets to both side rails of the rack housing with two flatwasher screws on

each side. Use the two front holes at the sides of the housing to attach the brackets.

(Complementing nuts are already installed on the inner side of the holes, the four screws

required are not included in the supplied kit).

2. Ensure proper grounding of the rack assembly to prevent potential electrical problems.

2.4.2 Installing the L Shape Slides

The ProView 7000 uses forced air ventilation, evacuating the air out the left side of the 19”

rack. To ensure smooth airflow, special L shape slides are provided for rack mounting.

To fit the L shape slides:

1. Ensure that the brackets are fastened with appropriate screws to each side of the chassis’

rails.

2. Fit the L shape slides to the fitted brackets and fasten with four screws (not included).

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Installing the Unit in a Rack

2.4.3 Mounting ProView 7000 units in the 19" Rack

DANGER: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special

precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your

safety.

■This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

■If the rack will hold a number of units, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the

heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

■If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or

servicing the unit in the rack.

ATTENTION: Pour éviter toute blessure corporelle pendant les opérations de montage ou de

réparation de cette unité en casier, il convient de prendre des précautions spéciales afin de maintenir la

stabilité du système. Les directives ci-dessous sont destinées à assurer la protection du personnel.

■Si cette unité constitue la seule unité montée en casier, elle doit être placée dans le bas.

■Si cette unité est montée dans un casier partiellement rempli, charger le casier de bas en

haut en plaçant l’élément le plus lourd dans le bas.

■Si le casier est équipé de dispositifs stabilisateurs, installer les stabilisateurs avant de

monter ou de réparer l'unité en casier.

WARNUNG: Zur Vermeidung von Körperverletzung beim Anbringen oder Warten dieser Einheit in einem

Gestell müssen sie besondere Vorkehrungen treffen, um sicherzustellen, daß das System stabil bleibt. Die

folgenden Richtlinien sollen zur Gewährleistung Ihrer Sicherheit dienen.

■Wenn diese Einheit die einzige im Gestell ist, sollte sie unten im Gestell angebracht

werden.

■Bei Anbringung dieser Einheit in einem zum Teil gefüllten Gestell ist das Gestell von unten

CAUTION: Ensure that a sufficient amount of airflow enters the ProView 7000 from the left end (from

the front panel point of view) .

Consider that the amount of units installed per rack is a function of power requirements and heat

dissipation. Address Harmonic support for calculating the maximum load on the rack.

To mount the 19"/42U rack with the ProView 7000 units:

1. Mount ProView 7000 units in groups of no more than five units on each pair of brackets.
