Use the AC power cords supplied with the product.

If you use other AC power cords, they should have

a wire gauge of at least 22 and a 230VAC 5A rating.

Be sure to use three-prong cords and connect them

to sockets with good earth grounds.

To connect input power:
1. Connect the ground stud near the bottom middle

of the rear panel to a good earth ground. Usually

this will be the same as the equipment rack ground.

2. Connect the AC power cords to the power supplies

and plug them into independent power sources.

3. Push the “1” side of the power supplies’ switches

to activate power. The LEDs on the power supplies

illuminate to indicate that power is active.

4. If you power up only a single supply, an alarm

tone sounds. Press the red power supply alarm

reset button just to the right of the power supplies

to turn off the alarm sound.

With DC models of the product, you must supply

your own DC power cables. They should have a wire

gauge of at least 16 and a 72VDC 4A rating. Always

connect the earth grounds first, and keep the earth

grounds connected whenever you are working on

the device. When disconnecting the device from DC

power, remove the earth ground connections last.

Connect to the Network and Tools

Tap the links you want to monitor (using external

fiber or copper taps) and plug the outputs of the taps

into any Director xStream ports that have SFP+ or

SFP modules installed. You can also plug in switch

Span ports that you want to monitor.

Plug tools into any Director xStream ports that have

SFP+ or SFP modules installed.

Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack Director xStream Pro

TM

and retain

materials for later use. Check the packing slip

and parts list against parts received. If any part is

missing or damaged, contact Net Optics Customer

Service. (Note: SFP+ and SFP modules are

ordered and shipped separately.)

Install SFP+ and SFP modules

Install SFP+ and SFP transceiver modules as

desired in the SFP+ cages in the front of the

chassis. The 8 ProPorts support only 10G SFP+

modules, while the 16 standard ports support 10G

SFP+ and 1G SFP modules. For each module,

remove the temporary plug from the SFP+ cage and

insert the module until it clicks into place. Unused

ports do not need to be populated with transceiver

modules.

Rack Mount the Chassis

Director xStream Pro is designed for mounting in a

19-inch rack, occupying two rack units of height.
To mount the Director xStream Pro device:
1. Expand the mounting rails to fit the depth of your

rack.

2. Attach the mounting rails to the font and rear pillars

of the rack using the supplied screws. The tabs

that Director xStream Pro will sit on should be

located toward the bottom.

3. Slide the Director xStream Pro chassis into the

rack so it rests on the rail tabs.

4. Make sure the rack is properly grounded.

Connect Power

Director xStream Pro’s two redundant power

supplies can be found at the rear of the unit on the

right side. Either power supply can power the unit

by itself, or you can connect both power supplies for

high availability. If you use both supplies, be sure to

connect them to independent power sources.
