McAfee M-2850 - Sensor connectivity and modules

Task
1
Unplug the power cable from its power source and remove the power cable from the power supply.
2
Put on an antistatic wrist or ankle strap.
3
Attach the strap to a bare metal surface of the chassis.
4
Push the release latch inward toward the handle.
5
Squeeze the handle of the power supply and pull it out.
6
Use faceplate panels to protect unused slots from dust and reduce electromagnetic radiation.
7
Replace the mounting bracket.
To remove all power from the Sensor, unplug all power cords.
Cable the Sensor
Follow the steps outlined in Attaching Cables to the Sensor to connect cables to the monitoring, response,
console, and management ports on your Sensor.
Small form-factor pluggable modules
The Sensor uses two types of small form-factor pluggable modules as shown in the following table.
Type Performance
SFP 10/100/1000 Mbps (copper)
1 Gbps (ber optic)
Each module is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking
the module port with a copper or ber-optic network. SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC
interfaces.
To ensure compatibility, McAfee supports only those SFP modules purchased through McAfee or from a
McAfee-approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, see the on-line KnowledgeBase at http://
mysupport.mcafee.com/Eservice/. Click Search the KnowledgeBase.
These installation instructions provide information for installing an SFP module that uses a bail-clasp for
securing the module in place in the Sensor. Your module may be slightly dierent. Check the module
manufacturer's installation instructions for more details.
For ease of installation, insert the module in the Sensor while it is powered down and before placing it on a
rack.
To prevent eye damage, do not stare into open laser apertures.
