The FX 6600

The FireEye FX 6600 analyzes network file shares to detect and quarantine malware that infiltrated the network via the Web, email, or manual means. It thwarts the lateral spread of advanced malware that traditional defenses miss.

The FX 6600 blocks malicious PDFs, MS Office, ZIP/RAR/TNEF, MP3, JPG, PNG, and other files from entering your network

The Front View

Drive Carrier LED Indicators

The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA drives. Each drive carrier displays two status LEDs on the front of the carrier.

• Green: When illuminated, this LED indicates drive activity. It blinks on and off when the particular drive is being accessed. This function is controlled by the backplane.

• Red: When illuminated, this LED indicates a drive failure. You should be notified by your system management software.

Chassis

1. Disk Drive Carrier: Each carrier can house a hot-swappable disk drive. A drive slot map displays the disk slot numbers on top of the appliance.

2. Handle Release: Press this tab to release the handle. Use the handle to pull the disk drive carrier from the chassis.

Installation

This chapter describes the site requirements of your installation location.

Before You Begin

Follow the steps in this section before you install the appliance.

Before Opening the Box

• Review the packing slip contained in the plastic slip attached to the top of the box. Ensure the shipment contains the correct appliance.

• Ensure the serial number listed on the packing slip matches the one specified on the sticker located on one side of the box.

• If there appears to be damage to the box, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Unpacking the Appliance

Carefully remove the appliance from the box in an area away from heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields.

Ensure your box contains:

• The correct appliance model

• An accessory kit

• Online Documents Portal Referral

• A rail kit

Installation Site Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when you select an installation site:

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack for its door to open completely without obstruction.

• Avoid environments that produce heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields.

• Only install the appliance in a restricted access location such as a service closet or dedicated equipment room.

• Make sure the location is properly ventilated.

• Make sure there is sufficient space for air flow.

FireEye recommends that you mount the appliance in a standard 19-inch rack. The vertical hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard ANSI/EIA-310-C requirements.

Consider the following before installing your appliance in the rack:

• Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In a single-rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

• In a multiple-rack installation, the racks should be coupled together to increase their stability.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

• Only extend one component from the rack at a time—extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

• Ensure your rack meets the safety requirements of UL 60950-1.

WARNING

STABILITY HAZARD: The rack may tip over causing serious personal injury. To prevent injury:

• Before extending the rack to the installation position, read the installation instructions.

• Do not put any load on the slide-rail mounted equipment when the rails are extended.

• Do not leave the slide-rail mounted equipment with the rails extended.

Server Precautions

FireEye recommends reviewing the electrical and general safety precautions that came with each component you intend to install in the rack.

Review the following before installing the appliance in the rack:

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack.

• Ensure there is a minimum clearance of six inches behind the chassis to allow for easy cable management.

• Install the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack first, then move up.

• Allow hot-swappable power supply units, disk drives, and transceivers to cool before handling them.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply to protect your components from voltage spikes, power surges, and failure during a power outage.

• Keep all of the rack's doors and panels closed when you are not servicing the components.

Rack-Mounting Precautions

Consider the following safety precautions when you install the appliance in the rack:

• Make sure the appliance is grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

• Use an electrostatic wrist guard when handling the appliance.

• At least two technicians should be involved to install the appliance safely.

• FireEye recommends only individuals with rack-mounting experience should install the appliance.

• Install the appliance in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature (TMRA) for each component in your rack.

Ventilation Requirements

Ventilation and optimal location are essential to the proper operation of the EX Series appliance. Give the unit at least six inches of space around ventilation openings so that adequate ventilation is possible.

The EX Series appliance draws air through the front and expels it out the back. Note the direction of the air intake and exhaust of the other components in the rack to ensure safe ventilation of all components involved.

Cabling Requirements

The FX Series appliance ships with the following cables:

• (2) 6 ft AC power cord, SVT, 60°C, 3x18AWG (0.824mm2)

• (1) 6 ft null modem DB9 female serial cable

You must provide any additional cables required to connect your system to the network and other devices. Do not exceed the maximum run length of the additional cables you provide.

Attaching Cables to the Appliance

Connect the FX Series appliance to one or more network devices using the cables appropriate to the deployment of your choice.

Connect the power cable or cables to the power port or ports on the back of the appliance.

Replacements

Return Process

If you believe you have a defective part or system, you must first contact FireEye Technical Support, who will validate the claim. If the part or system is defective, Technical Support will initiate a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) and guide you through the process. For more information, visit www.fireeye.com/legal.

Removing and Replacing a Power Supply Unit

Perform the following steps to remove and replace a power supply unit (PSU):

1. At the rear of the appliance, remove the power cable from the failed PSU.

2. While gripping the handle to the left of the power port and pressing the release lever to the right of it, pull out the failed PSU.

3. Insert the replacement PSU in the open slot and slide it in until it clicks into place.

4. Attach the power cable to the new power supply.
