INTRODUCTION

This Operating Manual should be read through carefully before installing and operating the
BLUEstreak Series Front-Ends and Rectifiers.
BLUEstreak is a family of high density hot-swappable, modular Front-Ends and Rectifiers producing
up to 2000 watts output power. There are 6 standard models with different output voltages and power
levels. The modules are ultra-compact with power density up to 24 watts per cubic inch. The modules
have automatic load sharing and active output ORing circuit so they can be hot-swapped while the
system is operating. Using PMBus compliant serial communications, status and control data can be
passed between a host system or power management unit and the module..
Front panel mounted LEDs indicate various status or fault conditions and +5V & 12V standby outputs
are included. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C.
BLUEstreak modules can be fully integrated into an OEM host system or alternatively installed into
one of 4 different 1U high 19" rack-mount power shelves. These power shelves may be connected
in parallel for increased system capacity.
Figure 1 below shows a BLUEstreak module and four modules installed into one of the power shelves.
