About the SSP-3801 card
The SSP-3801 is a playout server card that consists of two circuit boards assembled
together:
• The main board carries the bulk of the electronics with a connector that interfaces with
the SSP-3801 rear connector panel.
• The second board is a solid state drives (SSD) storage carrier board, which features up
to two SSDs for application and media storage.
Figure 1-1. The SSP-3801 card consists of two circuit boards
The SSP-3801 card has a connector which plugs into a mid-frame motherboard for
distribution of power and for connection to the controller card, with a second connector
which plugs directly into the rear connector panel for input and output.

SSP-3801 rear connector panel
Like other Densité 3 cards, the SSP-3801 card interfaces with a separate rear connector
panel that must be fixed to the rear of the Densité 3 frame. Figure 1-3 lists the required
input/output connectors featured on the rear connector panel.

SSP-3801 Quick Installation Guide
Densité 3 frame’s local control panel
Like all other cards installed in a Densité 3 frame, the SSP-3801 is connected to the frame’s
controller card, which handles all interaction between the cards and the outside world. The
controller also supports remote operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using
its integrated control panel (figure 1-4).
Figure 1-4. The Densité 3 frame local control panel
With no operating controls located on the SSP-3801 card itself, you can use the Densité 3
frame’s local control panel to perform basic SSP-3801’s configuration and control tasks. The
local control panel and its push-buttons provide you with a menu of parameters and allows
you to adjust parameter values. See the SSP-3801 Installation and Configuration Guide for a
listing of all the available parameters.
To gain control of the SSP-3801 card and browse the available parameters:
1PushtheSelect button on the SSP-3801 card edge (see figure 2-4) to assign the local
control panel to operate the SSP-3801.
The SSP-3801 card’s Status LED flashes yellow to indicated that it is the card currently
being controlled by the frame’s local control panel.
2 Use the following control panel buttons to navigate through the menu, as well as to
configure and adjust the SSP-3801 parameters and settings (listed below):
[+] [–] Used for menu navigation and value modification.
[SELECT] Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value
appears, pushing this button once enables modification of the
value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the
new value.
[ESC] Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been
confirmed; pushing [ESC] causes the parameter to revert to its
former value.
Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level.
At the main menu, [ESC] does not exit the menu system. To exit,
re-push the [SELECT] button for the card being controlled.
[CONTROLLER] Pushing the Controller button on the control panel selects the
Controller card itself.
