Installing the Talari Appliance

Unpacking and Inspection

Remove E500 appliance and accessories from box.
Remove E500 from plastic wrapping.
Inspect appliance for signs of damage.
Ensure all accessories are included.

Rack Mounting

Safety Recommendations

Prior to installing the device in a rack, adhere to the following rack
installation guidelines:

Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Restricted airflow can
damage the equipment.

Leave at least 1U of vertical space between each device installed in the rack.

The rack width and depth should allow for proper serviceability and cable
management.

Ensure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.

Ensure the rack is properly grounded.

Ensure the installer is properly grounded and wearing appropriate
safety equipment.

Always load the rack from the bottom up.

Load the heaviest devices in the rack first.

Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a device out of the rack.

Do not move racks by yourself; at least two people are recommended to move a
rack.

Cables should be easily identifiable.

LAN/WAN Connections

When connecting each Ethernet cable (LAN, WAN) to the appropriate connector on the
E500:

Position the cables carefully, so that they do not put strain on the connectors.

Organize cables in bundles such that cables do not intertwine.

Inspect the cables to make sure that the routing and bend radii are
satisfactory. Reposition cables, if necessary.

Install cable ties in accordance with site requirements.

Important Note About Cabling and Bypass Mode

If your Talari appliance is operating in bypass mode, logic used by the appliance
represents the functionality provided by a crossover cable. This may cause a loss of the
link between the Talari appliance and older network devices that do not support Auto-
MDIX when straight-through cables are used to connect the LAN and WAN ports of the
Talari appliance. In such a case, a crossover cable is required from the Talari WAN port
to the network device.
