  1. Mount the appliance in a standard 19-inch 4-post rack, or on a free-standing object, such as a sturdy desktop.
    Note
    Note
    When mounting the appliance, leave at least two inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation and cooling.
  2. Connect the appliance to a power source.
    Deep Discovery Analyzer includes two 750-watt or 1100-watt hot-plug power supply units. One acts as the main power supply and the other as a backup. The corresponding AC power slots are located at the back of the appliance, as shown in the following image.
  3. Connect the monitor to the VGA port at the back of the appliance.
  4. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports at the back of the appliance.
  5. Connect the Ethernet cables to the management and custom ports.
    • Management port: A hardware port that connects the appliance to the management network
      Note
      Note
      eth0 is the default management port. You can set the management port on a custom port.
      For more information, see Configuring the Management Port.
    • Custom port: A hardware port that connects the appliance to an isolated network dedicated to sandbox analysis
      Note
      Note
      • If you are using high availability, eth3 is used to directly connect two identical Deep Discovery Analyzer appliances and cannot be used for sandbox analysis.
      • If you are not using high availability, an appliance connected to eth1, eth2, or eth3 can be used for sandbox analysis.
  6. (Optional) Install a fiber network interface card (NIC) into an available full-height, full-length expansion slot and connect the fiber network cable.
    Note
    Note
    • The Deep Discovery Analyzer appliance does not support hot swapping. Turn off the appliance before installing a NIC.
      You can install up to two additional NICs on Deep Discovery Analyzer.
    • Deep Discovery Analyzer supports up to four additional network ports.
    • Install NICs in sequence of the slot numbers on the appliance. You cannot switch an installed NIC with another NIC.
      For example, if NIC1 is installed in slot1 and NIC2 in slot2, you cannot switch NIC1 to slot2 and NIC2 to slot1. However, you can switch NIC1 to slot2 and NIC2 to slot3.
  7. Power on the appliance.
    Note
    Note
    The power button is found on the front panel of the appliance, behind the bezel.
