Its dimensions are suitable for a 19" rack. You must position it within cabling distance of any switches or other devices that access the network segments that you want to protect. The appliance can be mounted facing either direction in your rack, so consider which side will have access to the ports and compact flash, and which will have access to the LCD panel and LED lights. You may need port access during installation and to reconfigure between passive mode and in-line mode monitoring. You may need access to the compact flash adapter for backing up and restoring, log archiving, re-imaging, upgrading, or initial configuration of slave appliances. You may need to use the LCD panel during initial configuration. System statistics are displayed on the LCD screen during normal operation. You can also perform certain administrative functions from the LCD panel, such as stopping and starting Symantec Network Security, and rebooting the appliance.
