Installation
The Ixia Chassis comes preloaded with IxServer and IxExplorer software along with Windows 7
Professional. The chassis includes an internal industry standard computer hardware platform. To
perform initial configuration, it is necessary to obtain the components mentioned here and to attach
them to the appropriate connectors on the back or front of the chassis:
l SVGA monitor
l PS/2-style keyboard
l PS/2-style mouse
Debugability Daemon
When you install IxOS on the chassis, the debugability daemon is also installed along with it. This
daemon provides communication and debugability services such as IxLogger and Correlation Engine. It
also provides visibility over the ports to the client, so that when the client uses the chassis, the ports
are visible directly.
Note: Ixia supports upgrades to the Microsoft operating system (OS) on Ixia chassis. Contact
Ixia Technical Support for assistance with Microsoft OS upgrade options.
