2.0 Installation

If you have not already completed the instructions on the Quick Start page packed with your FastStream VT 5300, use the following instructions to install the FastStream VT 5300.

Unpack the packing box; verify contents

•The FastStream. Note the serial number of your FastStream unit: ________________________

•Power cord

•“L” brackets for mounting in a 19” rack

•CD which includes the Firmware, Installation and Operation Manual, QuickNAV IP discovery program and system drivers

Install the FastStream

1Place the FastStream VT 5300 on a stable flat surface or install it into a standard rack.

If installing into a rack,

a.Attach “L” brackets so that the front side with the LEDs face front and the connector side is at the back.

b.Install the FastStream horizontally within the rack so it does not reduce the air flow within the rack.

2Connect the FastStream Fibre Channel ports to your SAN using SFPs and multimode fiber optic cables. Keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure the highest signal quality and performance. For details, refer to Cabling on page i of the Appendix.

3Connect SCSI storage devices to the FastStream SCSI ports. For details, refer to Cabling on page i of the Appendix.

4Power up the SCSI devices

5Connect the Ethernet port to your network. For details, refer to Cabling on page i of the Appendix.

6Connect the AC power cord from the FastStream to the proper AC source outlet. If you are using a rack:

a. Properly ground the FastStream to the rack equipment. The earth ground connection must be maintained.

b.The power requirements plus the power draw of the other equipment in the rack must not overload the supply circuit and/or wiring of the rack.

7Use the power switch and switch on power to the FastStream

8Wait up to two minutes for the FastStream Ready LED to light indicating the FastStream has completed its power-on self test sequence.
