Capture Ports

IMPORTANT

You must not press CTRL-C at any time during capture port configuration. Doing so means packet capture may not work. If you press CTRL-C during configuration, you must re-run the configuration command.

The capture ports 0 and 4 can be used either in 40 Gbps mode or 10 Gbps mode. The default mode is 40 Gbps mode. To convert the cards to 10 Gbps mode, connect a hydra cable that multiplexes the connection to 4 10 Gbps ports. In addition, configure the change using the CLI to complete the conversion.

The capture ports 0 and 4 can be used either in the following modes:

• 2 * 40 GBASE-SR4 mode. In this mode, both QSFP+ interfaces of the capture card must be set to 40 GBASE-SR4. You must use the patch cable, and the link partner must also run 40 GBASE-SR4.

• 8 * 10GBASE-SR mode. In this mode, both QSFP+ interfaces of the capture card must be set to 4 * 10 GBASE-SR. You must use the fanout cable, and the link partner must also run 4 * 10 GBASE-SR.

NOTE

1 * 40GBASE-SR4 + 4 * 10GBASE-SR mode is not supported.

Use CLI commands to change between the two modes and select the corresponding cable for your connections

You must order two SR40G-HW optics and two fanout cables or two patch cables:

NOTE

Uncertified transceiver modules are not supported.

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.

• Make sure the location is positioned for safe access for maintenance.

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.

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 in the installation position.

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

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.
