- Page 4 Before you mount the Sensor on the rack, make sure that the power is off. Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor. Due to the weight of the appliance, McAfee recommends that two people place the chassis into the rail cabinet.
- Page 5 Mount the inner members to the chassis unit. Place each inner member on both sides of the chassis unit. Position the bottom mounting holes of the inner member with matching mounting holes on chassis unit. Use screws to secure inner members in place. Apply to both sides of chassis unit. Mount the slide cabinet sections to the rack.
- Page 6 Mount the chassis unit into the mounted cabinet sections. Guide the chassis unit into the pre-installed cabinet sections. Allow the pre-installed inner members to slide into the outer members until they lock in place. Depress the QD latch on both sides and continue to push the chassis unit in until fully closed. Secure the chassis unit through the rack rails.
