Step 1: Ensure that the rack is stable enough and properly grounded. Attach the rack-mounting ears to the front of the chassis with screws. Step 2: Place the SecPath V100-S on a shelf in the rack and slide it to a proper position along the guide rails.
Before installing or using your security gateway, properly connect the grounding cable to protect the device against lightning and other interference sources. The SecPath V100-S provides on its rear panel a grounding screw (with a grounding symbol, see Figure 1-2), which must be grounded properly to safely channel the faradic current and leakage current to the ground and to make the device less susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Verify the connection and power up the security gateway and console terminal. The console terminal shows the startup information of the security gateway if the connection is correct. For details, see Chapter 4 “Booting and Configuring the SecPath V100-S”. 3.5 Connecting to the Ethernet Interface I.
When preparing network cables, it is recommended to use shielded cables for the sake of electromagnetic compatibility. III. Connecting the Ethernet cable Take the LAN0 interface on the front panel of the SecPath V100-S for example. Follow these steps to connect its Ethernet cable: Caution: Read the mark above the interface carefully to avoid misconnection.
Step 5: Check that the SYS LED on the front panel is blinking. Blinking means the hardware system is operating normally. 3.7 Verifying Installation Each time you power up the SecPath V100-S during installation, verify that: Enough clearance has been reserved around the ventilation openings of the device and the workbench/rack is stable enough.
