ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT 5300 Installation and Operation Manual
1.1 Physical attributes
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 is a Fibre Channel to SCSI virtual tape appliance which can be seamlessly
integrated into an existing storage environment.
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 is available in an
industry-standard 1U form factor for easy integration
into racks. It supports next-generation media and, as a
result, is equipped to handle the throughputs needed by
advanced disk technologies.

Dimensions

Width:
17 inches
Length:
11 inches
Height:
1.7 inches (1U)
Weight:
approximately 10 pounds

Cooling and airflow

Operating Temperature:
0-40° C external
Humidity:
10-90% non-condensing
Air enters from the front and is exhausted out the
connector side by a blower inside the enclosure which
provides 11 cubic feet per minute of airflow. Ambient
air near the inlets should not exceed 40°C. The unit
automatically stops operation if the temperature goes
beyond this threshold.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Do not block the enclosure’s vents. The
FastStream VT 5300 shuts down if
overheating occurs.

Power

The power supply circuit is permanently mounted
within the enclosure and is not hot swappable. It has
one standard IEC320 power receptacle and switch.
The universal power supply provides power for the
FastStream VT 5300 board and cooling fan.
The power requirements of the ATTO FastStream VT
5300 plus the power draw of the other equipment in
the rack must not overload the supply circuit and/or
wiring of the rack.
Input voltage:
10/230V AC, with operating input
range of 90-132V AC or 175-264V AC, 47-63Hz,
single phase. The AC input range selection is
automatic with no manual or jumper switchover
required.
Power draw:
2 amps at 110V, 1.6 amps @ 90V

Fibre Channel port

The four independent 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel ports
can connect the FastStream VT 5300 to either a Fabric
or Arbitrated Loop.
• Full support for full duplex FC data transfers, FC-
AL, PLDA and public loop login.
• Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) interface
• Auto negotiates with 1-, 2- and 4-Gb/sec.
devices

SCSI ports

The two SCSI ports connect storage devices into the
Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Each
port is totally independent from the other.
The ports are Ultra 320 SCSI busses with VHDCI
connector, downward compatible with all forms of
single-ended SCSI and all previous SCSI protocols.

Ethernet port

The 10/100 Base T Ethernet port is accessible from the
RJ45 connector. Local diagnostics are supported
through an integrated web server (ATTO FastStream
VT 5300 browser-based user interface), CLI, Telnet
and FTP. Includes support for DHCP, Telnet, FTP,
SNMP and ICMP.

Serial port

The RS-232 serial port provides
support for remote monitoring and
management using a DB9 connector.
The baud rate is programmable and
preset at the factory to 115200 bps.

LED indicators

The LED indicators can be viewed from the connector
side and the front side of the FastStream VT 5300.
(See Exhibit 1.1)
LEDs on the connector side are:
A bicolor Ready/Fault LED
lights green to indicate
ready, lights yellow to show a faulted condition, and is
off to indicate not ready.
Embedded in the Ethernet port connector:
a
lighted green LED shows a valid link; off indicates
that no link is present. A separate blinking yellow LED
indicates activity.
Fibre Channel port:
A lighted green LED indicates
link; off means no link. A separate green LED
indicates activity if it is lit, no activity if it is off.
SCSI ports:
A green LED on each port indicates
activity if is lit.
