Mount the Sensor on a rack

McAfee recommends rack-mounting your Sensors. The rack-mounting hardware included with the Sensors is
suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks and telco-type racks. For maintenance purposes, you should have
access to the front and rear of the Sensor.
Rack-mount the Sensor by securing the rack mount ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack. The ears
secure the Sensor to two rack posts, and the rest of the Sensor is cantilevered off the ears.
Mount the Sensor by securing the ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack. Because the ears bear the
weight of the entire Sensor, be sure to fasten the ears securely to the rack.

Before you mount the Sensor in the rack, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power cable and all network
interface cables from the Sensor.
You need two people to install the Sensor in the rack—one person to hold the Sensor and one person to secure it
to the rack.
