Install the Netmods — SV2800 & SV3800 Only
The SV2800 and SV3800 appliances do not include Network Modules (Netmods), which must
be purchased separately from Symantec. The Netmods are installed in the front bays of the
appliance with the ports numbered left to right and top to bottom.
Note: The SV800 and SV1800 appliances include integrated Ethernet ports.
Warning: Netmods are not hot-swappable. Make sure to power off the appliance before
installing or removing them. Failing to do so could damage the Netmods.
To install a Netmod:
a. Power off the appliance.
b. Remove the Netmod carrier:
Remove the screw from the lever of the Netmod carrier, pulling the lever away from the
o
Netmod carrier, approximately 1" (25mm), so the latch releases.
Gently pull the Netmod carrier out of the slot.
o
c. Insert the Netmod:
Insert the Netmod in the empty slot, making sure the far end of the latch is inside the
o
slot and the near end of the latch touches the outside of the slot.
o Press gently on the Netmod lever, where the screw hole is, while pushing the module into
the chassis, so the latch engages.
o Make sure the Netmod aligns with the other modules. It may be necessary to push on
the front of the module to fully seat it. If the module does not fully seat, try reinserting it
while observing the lever's latch on the right side of the module.
o Secure the lever to the front of the chassis with the previously removed screw.

Symantec recommends plugging in cables, verifying LEDs, and configuring and licensing
the appliance before rack-mounting it. If you would rather rack-mount the appliance before
√ √ √
performing configuration tasks, skip to Step 8—Rack-Mount the Appliance.

Note:
√ √ √ Network cables are not included with the appliance. Make sure to use only straight-
through Ethernet cables. For 1000Base-T operation, Symantec recommends Category 5E cables
√ √ √
or better (Category 6 or 6A) for distances of 330 feet (100 meters).
√ √ √
√ √ √
To connect the appliance's cables:
√ √ √
a. Connect the appliance to a management workstation with a browser:
o For SV800 appliances, connect the front-panel Management Ethernet port to a
management workstation, either directly or through a management network. Use an
appropriate Ethernet cable.
o For the SV1800, SV2800, and SV3800, connect the rear-panel Management Ethernet 1
port to a management workstation, either directly or through a management network.
Use an appropriate Ethernet cable.
Warning: When deploying the SV1800, SV2800, and SV3800 appliances, do not connect
to the Management Ethernet 2 port. This port is not functional.
b. For terminal connections to the appliance, connect the appliance's rear-panel serial port to
a serial terminal or to a workstation with terminal emulation software.
c. Connect the included power cords to the appliance:
o For SV800 appliances, connect the external power adapter plug to the appliance's DC
power inlet on the rear panel.
o For SV1800, SV2800, and SV3800 appliances, connect the two AC power cords to the
appliance's AC power inlets on the rear panel. Two power supplies are provided for
redundant operation.
d. Connect the other ends of the power cords to a 120V or 220V power source.
Warning: Always wait at least 5 seconds between disconnecting and reconnecting power cables.
Note: For deployment information, refer to the appliance's Getting Started Guide.
