CHAPTER 3 Setting up the I-3000 sensor prior to configuration This chapter describes the process of setting up a sensor prior to configuring it via the ISM. Setup overview Setting up a sensor involves the following steps: 1 Positioning the sensor. (See Positioning the I-3000) 2 Installing the GBICs. 3 Attaching power, network, and monitoring cables. (See Attaching Cables to the I- 3000 Sensor (on page 20)) 4 Powering on the sensor. (See Powering on the sensor (on page 20).) Once you have set up and powered on the sensor, you can proceed with configuration. Positioning the I-3000 Place the sensor in a physically secure location, close to the switches or routers it will be monitoring. Ideally, the sensor should be located within a standard communications rack. The I-3000 is a 2RU (2 rack unit). To mount the sensor in a rack, you will attach two mounting ears to the sensor, then mount the ears to the rack. The sensor ears attach to either the front or the middle of the chassis. Installing the ears on the chassis Caution: Before you install the ears on the chassis, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the sensor. Each rack-mounting ear has holes that match up with holes in the chassis. 12

Setting up the I-3000 sensor prior to configuration
This chapter describes the process of setting up a sensor prior to configuring it via
the ISM.
Setup overview
Setting up a sensor involves the following steps:
1
Positioning the sensor. (See Positioning the I-3000)
2
Installing the GBICs.
3
Attaching power, network, and monitoring cables. (See Attaching Cables to the I-
3000 Sensor (on page
20
))
4
Powering on the sensor. (See
Powering on the sensor (on page
20
).)
Once you have set up and powered on the sensor, you can proceed with
configuration.
Positioning the I-3000
Place the sensor in a physically secure location, close to the switches or routers it
will be monitoring. Ideally, the sensor should be located within a standard
communications rack.
The I-3000 is a 2RU (2 rack unit).
To mount the sensor in a rack, you will attach two mounting ears to the sensor, then
mount the ears to the rack. The sensor ears attach to either the front or the middle of
the chassis.
Installing the ears on the chassis
Caution:
Before you install the ears on the chassis, make sure that power is OFF.
Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the sensor.
Each rack-mounting ear has holes that match up with holes in the chassis.
