Rack Mounting
The NEXIO AMP comes with the rack mounting rails.
The following are installation requirements/recommendations:





Equipment — Mount the chassis on an appropriate rack using the provided rack
mounting and support equipment.
Power source — Connect the power inlet to an adequate power source. Using a UPS
is strongly recommended. Connect each of the two redundant power supply
connections to a separate electrical circuit for added protection.
Adequate airflow — NEXIO AMP frames require adequate airflow around the chassis
to provide sufficient cooling. All components draw air in through the front and exhaust
via the rear of the frame. The surfaces must be clear of obstructions to provide proper
air circulation and cooling.
External device connections — Video monitors and all connections to external
devices should be available and in working order.
Cable clearance — Provide at least 2 inches of clearance in the rear of the rack for
cabling.
Ensure that the rack is anchored to the floor so that it cannot tip over when NEXIO
AMP is extended out of the rack.
To rack mount NEXIO AMP
1
Remove the slides from the rails.
2
Attach a slide to each side of the NEXIO AMP chassis. The release latch on the slide faces the rear of
the frame.
3
Attach an extension to the back of each rail to match the depth of your rack.
4
Attach the rails to the rack posts.
5
Pull the inner rail out until it locks.
6
Slide the NEXIO AMP into the rail until it stops; press the release latch on each slide and continue to
slide the NEXIO AMP into the rail until it locks.

Chapter 2
HD/SD SDI Video
The HD/SD SDI video ports use BNC connectors for HD-SDI and SDI video input and output.
The ports can be configured for SMPTE-259M SD or SMPTE-292M HD outputs.
Reference Ports
There are two reference ports on the NEXIO AMP back panel: REF IN and LOOP.
The reference ports use BNC connectors for analog bi-level or tri-level sync reference
connection. A valid reference signal must be applied to the REF IN port when the system is
configured for external sync.
Looping is not recommended. If you do loop, use caution when looping reference
throughout the server system. If one external cable fails or you replace a failed server, you
will compromise the reference signal to other servers in the looped chain. Always terminate
unused loop outputs with a 75terminatorprovided in the accessories bag).
Each frame should have its own reference for the source device to ensure correct timing.
Referencing the Server System to the House Time Clock (Optional)
Refer to the NXUSBTC User Guide for more information on referencing the NEXIO AMP
to your house time clock. When recording from a satellite feed, apply frame
synchronization hardware between the receiver and the video input channel. The
synchronization hardware and the NEXIO AMP mainframe must be connected to the house
reference.
In addition, 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 insertors.
Do not use wire or plastic ties on cables as this can impede cable performance. Use soft
cable ties such as Velcro-based ties for wrapping cables.
The BNC connectors use coaxial cable to connect devices together. Use high-quality cable
suitable for HD-SDI with the NEXIO AMP frame, for example, the Belden 1694A cable.
Cable used for analog, SDI, and ASI devices may not be high enough quality.
AES Audio
The audio ports use HD-BNC connectors for AES/EBU digital audio input.
RECORD 1 (5) and RECORD 2 (6) — Supports a total of 4 pairs (8 channels) of digital
audio in per video channel. Each input connector supports one pair of AES/EBU digital
audio.
PLAY 1-4 — Supports a total of 4 pairs (8 channels) of digital audio out per video channel.
Each output connector supports one pair of AES/EBU digital audio.
NEXIO AMP

An FTP site created for a USB device is created as Folder type rather than an FTP Server
type.
NEXIO AMP supports USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.
RS232
There is one serial port designated for RS232 communication. This port can be used with a
supported Time Code Corrector module to lock the NEXIO AMP server system to your
house time reference. For more information, see the NXUSBTC User Guide and your
Adrienne AEC Box (NXUSBTC) documentation.
PC Speaker
Computer speaker port connector. Not used.
DVI
The NEXIO AMP has two available DVI ports. This lets you simultaneously connect two
monitors to the system.
DVI1 is the primary DVI port. DVI2 is optional. If the DVI2 connection is used, it supports
spanning of the desktop or a second simultaneous instance of the desktop.
Ethernet
NEXIO AMP is equipped with four Ethernet ports, labeled Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, Ethernet
3, and Ethernet 4. Each port is 10/100/1000 Mbps capable with full autonegotiation. The
ports may be flexibly used for NEXIO LAN, Media Host LAN, FTP, Proxy, and Protocol
(control). Full duplex operation is always preferred for networks and is required for the
NEXIO LAN. Category 5, 5e, or 6 cables must be used at 100 Mbps operation, and
Category 5e or 6 cables are required for operation at 1000 Mbps.

NEXIO AMP MDR Connector Assembly
This section describes the procedure for assembling a NEXIO AMP MDR connector.
To assemble a MDR connector
1
Use a wire stripper to remove approximately 1/16” of the wire insulation from each of the required
conductors (see Figure 5-3).
Figure 5-3 Stripped Wires
48
Chapter 5
2
Solder wire 1 to pin 1 on the connector. To locate pin 1, see Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4 MDR Connection Pin Locations
Tip
For optimal results, use a soldering iron with a fine tip. To make a solder connection from the wire to
the solder cup, first flow solder on both the cable and the cup. Next, use tweezers to locate the wire
through the hole of the solder cup. Then, use the solder iron to flow the solder and make the
connection.
Do not push the wire down too far when installing the wire through the hole in
the solder cup or you may cause a short to the cup.
3
Repeat Step 2 for each connector position.
4
Install the grounding strap to the connector so that the long tab is placed underneath the connector
(see Figure 5-5).
Figure 5-5 Grounding Strap Placement
NEXIO AMP
5
Position the lower shell onto the connector as shown in Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 Lower Shell Placement
6
Attach the upper shell to the lower shell and tighten it using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver (see
Figure 5-6).
Figure 5-7 Upper Shell Attachment
7
Clamp the ferrite onto the cable next to the connector that will be connected to the rear panel
(pro-panel) as shown in Figure 5-8.
Figure 5-8 Ferrite Placement
If the ferrite is loose on the cable, use a tie wrap to hold it in place.

Press Enter to accept the Rebuild.
A message appears indicating that all the data on the new (or added) disk will be
overwritten, and asks you if you want to continue.
10 Press the Y (Yes) key.
The MediaShield BIOS Array List reappears. The status indicates “Rebuild”.
11 Press Ctrl X (Exit) to exit and reboot the system.
The Rebuild processes in the background. A message appears when the Rebuild is
complete.
Replacing a Media Drive
This section provides information on replacing a media drive. Detailed information is
provided in the NEXIO Low Level Module (LLM) User Guide. There is usually no need to stop
the LLM to replace the media drive. It is recommended that the system is running
throughout the replacement process.
To replace a media drive
1
Follow the instructions provided in the NEXIO Low Level Module (LLM) User Guide.
The size of the replacement drive should not be less than the size of the smallest drive in
NEXIO AMP (256 GB or higher). For example if a unit has all 256 GB drives, or a hybrid of
drives in it; the size of the replacement drive should not be less than 256 GB.
2
Use the diagram below to identify the media drive. The drive bank letters and drive numbers are
shown in red.
