    When deployed at key network access points, the Sensor provides real-time traffic monitoring to detect malicious activity and respond to the malicious activity as configured by the administrator. After you deploy a Sensor successfully, you configure and manage it using the McAfee ® Network Security Manager (Manager).

  • Page 8: Functions Of A Sensor

    Network topology considerations Deployment of a Sensor requires knowledge of your network to help determine the level of configuration and the number of installed Sensors. You also need to determine the number of McAfee ® ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) /McAfee NAC servers required to protect your network. The Sensor is purpose-built for the monitoring of traffic across one or more network segments.

  • Page 20: Install The Rails And Ears On The Chassis And Rack

    Before you mount the Sensor on the rack, make sure that the power is off. Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor. Due to the weight of the appliance, McAfee recommends that two people place the chassis into the rail cabinet.

  • Page 21: Redundant Power Supply

    Setting up the Sensor Redundant power supply Because of the weight of the appliance, McAfee recommends that two people remove the chassis from the rail cabinet. When removing the chassis from the rack, pull the chassis forward until you hear the innermost rails snap in place.

    Slide in the power supply until it makes contact with the backplane, then push firmly to mate the connectors solidly with the backplane. For true redundant operation with the optional redundant power supply, McAfee recommends that you plug each supply into a different power circuit. For optimal protection, use uninterruptable power sources.
