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

Unpack the packing box; verify contents

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

1 Place the FastStream VT on a stable flat
surface or install it into a standard rack.
If installing into a rack (see Exhibit 2.0-1):
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.
2 Connect 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
page iii of the Appendix.
3 Connect SCSI storage devices to the
FastStream SCSI ports. For details, refer to
Cabling on page iii of the Appendix.
4 Power up the SCSI devices
5 Connect the Ethernet port to your network. For
details, refer to Cabling
Appendix.
6 Connect 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.
7 Use the power switch and switch on power to
the FastStream
8 Wait up to two minutes for the FastStream
Ready LED to light indicating the FastStream
has completed its power-on self test sequence.
