ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT 5300 Installation and Operation Manual 

 2.0  Installation

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

•  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

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 

Cabling

 on 

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

 on page iii of the 

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.

The VT media changer and the VT tape have 
separate driver files. Repeat the following steps 
for each driver.

 a.  Specify the driver as found in the 

VTMediaChanger

 or 

VTTapeDrive 

folder 

in the setup CD. The files are in a folder 
based on your operating system: Win2K 
drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows 
XP; Win2K3 drivers for all 2003 Server 
products.

Note

Use the files directly from the CD or copy them 
onto a floppy or to a local directory on your 
hard drive.

 b.  Follow the remaining instructions to 

complete the installation procedure.

7

After the driver for each device is installed, the 
tape drive is listed under 

Tape Drives

 and the 

VT media changer is listed under 

Media 

Changer 

in the 

System Devices 

folder.

Discover the IP address

Note

The FastStream VT is initially configured with 
DHCP enabled. It is best if you have access to 
a DHCP server.

1

Work from the computer attached to the 
FastStream VT Ethernet port on the same 
broadcast domain. From the CD supplied with 
your FastStream, run the QuickNav Utility 

QuickNAV-windows.exe 

for Windows or

 

QuickNAV-Mac 

for Mac OS X.
