threat analysis reporter introduCtion
Thank you for choosing to evaluate the 8e6 Technologies Threat Analysis Reporter. This
product addresses user-generated Web threats such as excessive use of bandwidth
and inappropriate Internet usage, and provides network administrators tools to monitor
such threats so management can enforce corporate Internet usage policies.
Working in conjunction with 8e6’s R3000 Enterprise Filter, the Threat Analysis Reporter
translates end user Internet activity from the R3000’s logs into dynamic graphical snap-
shots of network Internet trafc. Using remediation tools in the console, administrators
and management can then manage and control user-generated Web threats in real
time.
The TAR HL and SL server models include RAID technology for fault tolerance and high
performance.

Rack Mount the Server
Rack Setup Precautions
Warning:
Before rack mounting the server, the physical environment should be set up to safely ac-
commodate the server. Be sure that:
The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
The rack will not tip over when the server is mounted, even when the unit is fully
extended from the rack.
For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.
For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment is maintained at all times. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
A power cord will be long enough to t into the server when properly mounted in the
rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.
The connection of the server to the power supply will not overload any circuits. Con-
sideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
The server is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
The air ow through the server’s fan or vents is not restricted. Installation of the
equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air ow required for safe op-
eration of the equipment is not compromised.
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specied by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Rack Mount Instructions for HL Servers
Rack Setup Suggestions
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then work
up.
Identify the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the 8e6 server unit. Each of
these assemblies consists of two sections: An inner xed chassis rail that secures to the
unit (A), and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). Two pairs
of short brackets to be used on the front side of the outer rails are also included.
Install the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to
the next step.
Install the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a
short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of
the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that
the rail can t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer
rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three
M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The
rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which
is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully ex-
tended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack
when you pull it out for servicing.

8e6 ThreaT analysis reporTer Quick sTarT Guide 9
Install the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step
is to install the server chassis into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the
pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs “click.”

10 8e6 ThreaT analysis reporTer Quick sTarT Guide
Install the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 8e6 server unit into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets
on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will ex-
tend out the front of the rack. A larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight
between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach
the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned
with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish by sliding the
chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

Rack Mount Instructions for SL Servers
Rack Setup Suggestions
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then work
up.
Install the Inner Slides
1. Locate the right inner slide, (the slide that will be used on the right side of chassis
when facing the front panel of the chassis).
2. Align the four (4) square holes on the right inner slide against the hooks on the right
side of the chassis as show below on the left.
3. Securely attach the slide to the chassis with two M4 at head screws and repeat the
steps 1-3 to install the left inner slide to the left side of the chassis.
Install the Outer Slides
1. Measure the distance from the front rail of the rack to the rear rail of the rack.
2. Attach a short bracket to the rear side of the right outer slide, and a long bracket to
the front side of the right outer slide as shown above on the right.
3. Adjust the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the chassis can
snugly t into the rack.
4. Secure the slides to the cabinet with screws.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer slide.
