Mounting a sensor in 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.
Caution:
Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the sensor
Note:
place the chassis into the rail cabinet.
Insert the chassis into the rail cabinet and complete the rack-mounting of 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. Ensure to fasten the ears securely to the rack.
You can also mid-mount the Sensor (optional). For details, refer to
Guide.

Removing a sensor from the rack

Note:
remove the chassis from the rail cabinet.
When removing the chassis from the rack, pull chassis forward until you hear the
innermost rails snap in place. On each side of the rails, press in the release button as
pictured below and continue pulling the chassis.
Verify that you have all the parts you will need: two three-in-one rails, two
chassis ears, and fourteen Phillips flathead screws. Each rail includes a rail that
mount to the rack, a rail that slides into the mounted rail, and a rail that is
attached to the chassis.
Disassemble the slide rail by pulling the inner rail out and pushing the side latch
in to separate.
Attach the inner rail to the chassis by fastening it with the screws provided.
Attach the ear to each side of the chassis.
Mount L-shape and external rail to your rack frame. The adjustable end of the L-
shape rail is intended for placement at the back of your rack. Adjust the rail as
needed for length.
Before you mount the sensor in the rack, make sure that power is OFF.
