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 four 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 * 10 GBASE-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 * 40 GBASE-SR4 + 4 * 10 GBASE-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:

Module

SKU

Installation

This topic provides information about the site requirements of your installation location.

Before You Begin

Follow the steps in this topic 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 the box contains:

    • The correct appliance model

    • Online Documents Portal Referral

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

Trellix 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

Trellix 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.

  • Trellix 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 7620 appliance. Give the unit at least six inches of space around ventilation openings so that adequate ventilation is possible.

The 7620 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 7620 appliance ships with the following cables:

  • (2) 6 ft (1.83 m) AC power cord, SVT, 60°C, 3x18 AWG (0.824 mm2)

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 PX 7620 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 Trellix 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, see Trellix support.

Removing and Replacing a Power Supply Unit

To replace the 7620 power supply, order a Supermicro 1200 W Titanium Redundant PS (SMC SKU: PWS-1K23A-1R) (FRU: 428-PWRSUP-1K23A-1R).

 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.

Replacing a Rail Kit

To replace a missing slide rail for the 7620, order a SMC2U Rail Kit (SMC SKU: MCP-290-00053-0N) (FRU: RAILKIT-02).
