Hardware
Included components
The DD1000i package includes the following components:
- DD1000i with integrated DD Engine proxy servers
- 19” Rack mounting kit
- Port lock panels
- Power cables
Device basics
The DD1000i is designed for 19” rack mounting. It is physically divided into two separate sections, DATA IN and DATA OUT, linked by a fiber cable. Each section is equipped with an integrated proxy server (Upstream DD Engine and Downstream DD Engine) enabling unidirectional protocol communication through the device.
The top lid of the DD1000i must never be removed by unauthorized personnel, or the warranty is void.
Front panel
The image below shows the front panel of the DD1000i device where the following functions are available:
- Status LEDs - Indicates various conditions and activities for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections (see Status indicators).
- Power ON/OFF switches - One switch for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections.
- Fiber Inspection Window - Allows an illuminated view of the fiber cable that is the only link between the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections.
- Tamper Seal - Label that, as long as it is not removed or broken, will indicate that the hardware has not been manipulated. See Tamper seal for further information.
Front status indicators
On the front panel, a set of status indicators are available for each of the two sections (DATA IN, DATA OUT) of the DD1000i.

| Alarm/UID | Alarm, Fan fail | Flashing red | Indicates a fan malfunction. Send the device to Advenica for service. |
| UID activated | Alarm, Fan fail | Flashing yellow | When the UID function has been activated by an administrator, the flashing yellow indicator can be used to physically locate the DD1000i in the rack. |
| Network activity | Linked to network | Solid green | Indicates that the DATA IN/DATA OUT port is connected to a network. |
| Network activity | Data activity | Flashing green | Indicates data activity on the DATA IN/DATA OUT port. |
| Storage activity | Drive activity | Flashing orange | Indicates activity on the SSD drive. |
| Power ON/OFF switch | - | - | Please note that there are two Power ON/OFF switches, one for each of the two sections (DATA IN, DATA OUT) of the DD1000i. |
Rear panel
The image below shows the rear panel of the DD1000i device where the following functions are available:
- SSD drive - Pre-mounted drive for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections. Each drive has the DD1000i firmware pre-loaded.
- DATA OUT port - RJ45 1000BaseT port for connection to the DATA OUT destination network.
- DATA IN port - RJ45 1000BaseT port for connection to the DATA IN source network.
- ADMIN ports - One RJ45 1000BaseT port for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections. Used to connect to ADMIN networks or standalone computers.
- VGA ports - One VGA port for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections.
- USB ports - Three USB ports for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections.
- Status LEDs - Indicates link and activity for the DATA IN, DATA OUT and ADMIN ports (see Status indicators).

Tamper seal
The DD1000i is equipped with a tamper seal that should not be removed or broken. The tamper seal is located on the front of the device.
On the tamper seal, the following information can be found:
- DEV - device model
- PNO - part number
- PID - serial number
- DDE - unique device password, used when accessing Local admin
It is recommended that the tamper seal is examined whenever the device is physically accessed.
In case the tamper seal is broken, the integrity of the DD1000i can no longer be trusted and it is recommended that the device is disconnected immediately.
Managing SSD drives
The DD1000i comes with two SSD drives mounted, one for each of the DATA IN and DATA OUT sections. The drives are mounted in slots located above the network ports on each section of the DD1000i and kept in position by cover plates.
Dismounting SSD drive
Turn off the DD1000i.
Mounting SSD drive
Loosen the screw that holds the SSD drive cover plate in position and remove the cover plate.
