Instructions for the Installation and Removal of
Assemblies and Components
Repairs on the device may only be carried out by authorized
qualified personnel. Unauthorized opening or unqualified
repairs can result in considerable risk to the user
(electrocution, fire).
Assemblies with electrostatically sensitive devices
(ESD) can be identified by the illustrated sticker:
This applies especially to ISA/PCI cards.
When handling assemblies with ESD warnings, the following instructions must be
observed:
1. You must discharge static electricity (e.g., by touching an earthen object)
before working with assemblies.
2. Devices and tools used must be free from static charges.
3. Pull out the main plug before connecting or disconnecting assemblies.
4. Only hold the assemblies at the edge.
5. Do not touch any connection pins or conductors on the assembly.
Safety Instructions
Please read carefully and observe the instructions for your own safety and correct use of
the device.
In order to maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, the instructions and warnings
contained in this manual and on the device must be observed.
The unit is built and tested in accordance with EN60950/UL1950/CSA22.2 No.950 and left
the works in a safe condition.
We shall be exempted from our guarantee obligations if the user fails to observe the safety
instructions.
We can only guarantee the safety, reliability, and performance of the system if all of the
following safety instructions are observed:
1. Maximum recommended ambient temperature (Tmra) = 50°C
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the Tmra = 50°C.
2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthling - Reliable earthling of rackmounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
6. The system must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
7. The electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of the
respective regulations.
8. Make sure that there are no cables, particularly main cables, in areas where people can
trip over them.
9. Keep the main power inlet connector of the system or the main socket, from which the
system is powered, easily accessible, so at least one can be used as disconnect device.
10. Only use the main cable supplied with the system.
11. Make sure that the DC/AC operation voltage cited in the manual corresponds to the
DC/AC voltage supplied and that the maximum value is not exceeded even briefly.
12. When setting up the unit and accessories, observe the local or national regulations for
workstation ergonomics.
13. Do not set up the system where it is exposed in the proximity of heat sources, or in a
damp location. Make sure the system has adequate ventilation and that the ambient
temperature is in the range specified for the system (see specification sheet).
14. Properly secure cables and connectors.
15. It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if the system:
has visible damage or
no longer operates.
In these cases the system must be shut down and secured against unintentional
operation.
16. If extensions are made to the system, legal stipulations and system specifications must
be observed.
17. Assembly, extensions, new settings, alterations, or repairs may only be carried out by
qualified people.
18. Adjustment, maintenance, or repair on the open system may only be carried out by
qualified personnel familiar with the associated dangers.
19. The system must be switched off before removing and/or installing any components.
20. Only original accessories approved by the company may be used.
21. The safety of the system must be re-evaluated by competent authorities when adding
components that were not part of the delivered configuration.
FCC Rules
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.

Product Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The DreamSpeed, a 1U open platform is targeting the next-generation System Integrators
and independent hardware/software vendors who supply dedicated Internet infrastructure
solutions deployed in B2B e-commerce sites, portals, server farms, and ISP/ASP data
centers. Providing a significantly faster time to market, the DreamSpeed can be configured
into a customized turnkey solution that is dedicated to several Internet network applications
including, among others, SSL acceleration, load balancing, Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs), firewalls, caching, and Web and Application servers.
DreamSpeed features many innovations and design advantages that are simply more
practical for network deployment. Size is the first consideration, as DreamSpeed is only
18” deep, which makes it an extremely easy fit in any 600 mm deep rack and, as for height,
this 1U small form factor allows for up to 42 units to be stacked in one cabinet. The
outcome is more power in a smaller work environment, which appropriately saves both
valuable floor and rack space. Inside each unit are three convenient PCI extension slots
that offer the highest scalability in today’s market. Each slot can be employed by any
standard PCI hardware dedicated to nearly any imaginable Internet infrastructure
application- from firewalls and VPNs to load balancing and Web and Application servers.
At the heart of DreamSpeed is an ultra high-performance SBC, the PCI-990. It is designed
to accommodate the endless demands for a high performance engine in platforms used in
the embedded datacom/telecom market. An ideal SBC for high performance Internet
security and data center solutions, as well as mission-critical CTI and demanding
embedded computing applications.
The DS-1310 has an AC 200W power supply. The key to DreamSpeed’s design is its front
bezel access to two USB port, two 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet ports based on Intel®
82559ER Ethernet controller and a 15-pin SVGA connector.
Two fans attached to an airflow channel provide an efficient cooling system to the SBC. In
addition, four positive pressure DC fans provide cooling; two are equipped with a
removable, washable foam filter to protect the unit from dust and dirt particles. Standard
controls include reset switch, power ON LED, and one hard disk activity LED.
With a focus on low cost of ownership, time-to-market and superior customer integration,
the DreamSpeed is compatible with the following operating systems: MS-DOS 6.22,
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Microsoft Windows ME,
Microsoft Windows XP Pro, Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Windows
2000 Server, Linux Red Hat 7.2, QNX RTP 6.1.0, FreeBSD 4.4, Sun Solaris 8, OS/2
WARP 4.5 E-Buniness Server.
