This guide provides information to help you replace components in your Spectrum device or system. Make sure that you read all safety warnings and instructions, and that you have received a replacement component from Harmonic before you begin any of the procedures in this guide.
Replacing a power cooling module Replacing the bezel Over time, the bezel LEDs can wear out. Replacement bezels are available from Harmonic. CAUTION: The front panel is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) when the bezel is removed. Wear the appropriate ESD protection when you remove the bezel.
Page 10
Replacing the bezel 2. Pull the right side of the bezel slightly away from the chassis, and then disconnect the bezel cable from the 4-pin connector from the front panel. Example: MediaStore Component Replacement Guide...
Chapter 2: MediaStore 7200 component replacement Installing the bezel Before you install the bezel, ensure that the server is mounted on the rack and that all disk drives are installed. NOTE: For optimum airflow, do not obstruct the air vents on the bezel after it is installed. 1.
Harmonic. IMPORTANT: Use ONLY Harmonic-supplied replacement drives. Drives from any other source will be excluded from coverage under the Harmonic product limited warranty and maintenance services programs. In addition, any errors or damages caused by the use of drives provided from any other source will cause the entire product to be excluded from coverage under the Harmonic product limited warranty and maintenance services programs.
If you wish to install a Harmonic-supplied drive model that is not supported by your current version of Spectrum firmware, you may need to install a "DDC" configuration file to your video server, which enables you to install and use the new drive. For details, see "Installing a DDC file" in the Harmonic SystemManager User Guide.
Replacing a disk drive Removing a failed drive Drives may be replaced while the system is powered on. Make sure you have a replacement drive on hand before removing the failed drive. NOTE: Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while it is spinning. After failing a drive, wait 30 seconds to remove the drive to ensure that it has stopped spinning.
Chapter 2: MediaStore 7200 component replacement Installing a replacement drive Install the replacement drive and then verify that SystemManager reports the drive as alive. The RAID set rebuild should begin automatically. 1. Press the blue release button on the replacement drive to open the lever. 2.
Once complete, RAID set status changes to Normal, Attached, Viable. What to do next If you replaced a failed drive with a new drive from Harmonic, use the packaging materials (carton, cushion, and electrostatic sensitive bag) from the replacement disk drive to carefully repackage the failed drive and return it promptly to Harmonic for analysis.

Chapter 2: MediaStore 7200 component replacement 5. With the tray handle fully extended, slide the replacement expander module into the slot until it is firmly seated. 6. Close the tray handle, lifting it slightly in order to align the thumb screw with the hole, and then tighten the thumb screw.
Replacing a fan 7. Attach the SAS cables to the new expander module. NOTE: Do not twist the SAS cables or bundle them with the power cables. 8. Power on the Spectrum system. Refer to "Powering up a Spectrum System" in the Spectrum System Installation Guide for complete instructions.
Page 19
Chapter 2: MediaStore 7200 component replacement 2. Loosen the two captive thumb screws on both sides of the fan. 3. Grasping both thumb screws, pull the fan gently but firmly until it clears the chassis. Example: 4. Slide the replacement fan into the bay, aligning the thumb screws with the screw holes on the chassis. 5.
To take full advantage of the redundancy, Harmonic recommends that you use separate, isolated power sources for each AC input. DANGER: Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling Spectrum devices and components.

Chapter 2: MediaStore 7200 component replacement 2. Disconnect the AC power cable from the failed power supply module. 3. Wait one minute for the fan to spin down. 4. Push the green latch downward while you grasp the power supply handle, and then slide the power supply module out of the bay.

If you wish to install a Harmonic-supplied drive model that is not supported by your current version of Spectrum firmware, you may need to install a "DDC" configuration file to your video server, which enables you to install and use the new drive. For details, see "Installing a DDC file" in the Harmonic SystemManager User Guide.
CAUTION: Wait 30 seconds before unlatching the drive. 5. If the serial numbers do not match, wait at least 15 seconds after removal, then reinsert the drive. Call Harmonic Technical Support immediately and do not continue with this procedure. MediaStore Component Replacement Guide...
Chapter 3: MediaStore 5000 series component replacement Removing a failed drive On MediaStore 5000 series units, the drive latch is located on the top of the drive carrier. CAUTION: Drive spin-down. Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while still spinning.
Number (RA) before shipping the drive. Replacing an I/O module Harmonic suggests that you label the SAS cables as you remove them from the I/O module. This will ensure the cables are correctly assigned in the new module. CAUTION: When replacing an I/O module, the entire Spectrum system must be shut down.
Page 27
Chapter 3: MediaStore 5000 series component replacement Refer to “Powering down a Spectrum System” in the Spectrum System Installation Guide for complete instructions. 2. Remove the Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) cables. 3. Grip the module latch between thumb and forefinger, and squeeze them together to release the latch. 4.
The MediaStore is equipped with two hot-swappable power cooling modules (PCM), each with an independent AC connector. If one fails, the load is transferred to the remaining PCM without interrupting service. To take full advantage of the redundancy, Harmonic recommends that you use separate, isolated power sources for each AC input.
Page 29
Chapter 3: MediaStore 5000 series component replacement 6. Connect the AC power cable.
The SAS cables, disk drives, and I/O modules must be removed from the original MediaStore and installed in the replacement MediaStore in the same corresponding positions. As such, Harmonic recommends that you label each component as you remove it from the chassis.
12. Power up the Spectrum system. Refer to "Powering up" in the Spectrum System Installation Guide for complete instructions. Verifying functionality Harmonic recommends that you verify functionality of the replacement equipment in your Spectrum system before using it on air.
