Positioning the Sensor Release the rails and attach inner rails (of a three-in-one set) to the chassis by fastening it with the screws provided. Attach L-shape and external rails to the rack frame. Install the Sensor into a rack and mount ears. You can also mid-mount the Sensor (optional). Install the redundant power supply (optional). - Page 3 Install modules in the Sensor's Monitoring ports. Cabling the Management and Console ports Ensure the Sensor is powered OFF before attaching cables. Plug a Category 5e Ethernet cable in the Mgmt port. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to your Manager server. Plug the DB9 Console cable supplied in the Sensor box into the Console port (labeled Console on the Sensor front panel).

Page 4: Cabling The Monitoring Ports
Plug the cable appropriate for use with your XFP or SFP module into one of the Monitoring ports labeled xA (for example, 1A). McAfee supports only those SFP modules purchased through McAfee or from a vendor approved by McAfee. Plug another cable into the peer of the port used in Step 1. This port will be labeled xB (for example, 1B). - Page 5 Installation Guide and the Network Security Platform Release Notes. Close all open applications. Go to McAfee Update Server and log on, using the grant number and password. Go to Manager Software Updates folder and select the latest Manager software version available.
