Management and Capture Ports

Each interface pair is physically and logically segregated from other interface pairs, preventing communication between the different network segments.

Ports pether3 through pether10 support data rates up to 10 Gbps.

The 10GBASE-T transceivers get very hot during operation. To meet thermal specifications, follow these guidelines:

• Install only two 10GBASE-T transceivers in the management ports (pether7–pether10) with an unused port between each transceiver for airflow.

• Do not use 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers in the capture ports (pether3–pether6)

10GBaseT SFP+ in Management Ports

P7 - Pether7: Must leave empty for airflow

P8 - Pether8: SFP+

P9 - Pether9: Must leave empty for airflow

P10 - Pether10: SFP+

Management Ports

Management ports pether7–pether10 use SFP+ connectors. The SFP+ connectors accept the following modules:

• 1000BASE-SX/10GBASE-SR (LC MMF)

• 1000BASE-LX/10GBASE-LR (LC SMF)

• 1000BASE-T (RJ45)

• 10GBASE-CU (5m direct attach cable)

• 10GBASE-T (RJ45)

Capture Ports

The capture ports, pether3 through pether6, must be configured as follows:

• Pluggable SFP (Gigabit Ethernet ports) with RJ45 or LC fiber (multimode or singlemode) connectors

• SFP (1-Gigabit Ethernet ports) and SFP+ (10-Gigabit Ethernet ports) modules with LC fiber connectors. SFP and SFP+ modules can be used in any combination.

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.

Rack Precautions

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.

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 in the installation position.

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