1 — Unpack the Server
Unpack the shipping package for the server appliance and
verify it includes the following:
Symantec SA-SRVG8-20 or SA-SRVG8-40 server
appliance (Dell PowerEdge R640 XL)
 ReadyRails kit with Cable Management Arm (CMA)
Two C14 to C13 power cords

2 — Rackmount the Server
1. Locate the components for installing the ReadyRails:
Two A10 sliding rails (1)v
Two Velcro straps (2)
Four screws (3)
Four washers ( 4 )
2. Install the rack rails, beginning with the left rail:
Fully extend the rear sliding bracket of the rail so that
the rail is as long as possible (1).
Position the rail end piece labeled FRONT facing
inward and orient the rear end piece to align with the
holes on the rear rack flanges.
Push the rail straight toward the rear of the rack until
the latch locks into place.
For the front end piece, rotate the latch outward and
pull the rail forward until the pins slide into the flange,
and release the latch to secure the rail in place (2).
Repeat the preceding steps to install the right rail.
WARNING! Before setting up your server appliance, follow the
safety instructions included in the Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory Information document shipped with the server.
WARNING! To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the server
by yourself.
CAUTION! Observe the following cautions before proceeding:
The rack may fall over if allowed to become top-heavy.
Load the rack from the bottom up with the heaviest
components at the bottom.
Take adequate safety and grounding measures to avoid
creating an electrical shock hazard and to prevent bodily
injury.
 Use Extended Power Performance (EPP) compliant power
supply units (PSUs), indicated by the EPP label, on your
server. For more information about EPP, see the Installation
and Service Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals .
NOTE: The illustrations in this document do not represent a
specific server or system.

3. Install the server into the rack:
 Pull the inner rails out of the rack until they lock in place ( 1 ).
Locate the rear rail standoff on each side of the server
and lower them into the rear J-slots on the slide
assemblies (2).
Rotate the server downward until all the rail standoffs
are seated in the J-slots.
Push the server into the rack until the lock levers click in
place (
3 ) .
Pull the blue slide release lock tabs forward on both
rails and slide the server into the rack (
4 ) .
4. Secure the server to the rack:
Push the server all the way into the rack until the slam
latches engage and lock (1).
To secure the server for shipment in the rack or in
unstable environments, locate the hard mount captive
screw under each latch and tighten each screw with a
Phillips #2 screwdriver (2).
To release the server from the rack, lift the slam latches
and slide the server out of the rack.
5. To secure the rails to the rack for shipping or in unstable
environments, install the supplied screws in the rails:
For square hole racks, install the supplied conical
washer to the screw before installing the screw.
For unthreaded round hole racks, install only the screw
without the conical washer.
Align the screws with the designated U spaces on the
front and rear rack flanges.
 Make sure that the screw holes on the tab of the server
retention bracket are seated on the designated U spaces.
Tighten the two screws with a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

2. Install the CMA tray:
Align and engage each side of the tray with the receiver
brackets on the inner edges of the rails. Push the tray
forward until it clicks in place (1).
To remove the tray, squeeze the latch-release buttons
toward the center and pull the tray out of the receiver
brackets (2).
3. Install the CMA attachment brackets:
 Attach the CMA to either the right or left mounting rail,
depending on the cable routing for the server. The side
opposite the power supplies (SIDE A) is recommended.
SIDE B requires removal of the CMA if you need to
remove the power supplies.
 Select the appropriate CMA attachment bracket based on
the side you will mount the CMA (SIDE A or SIDE B). Install
the CMA attachment bracket at the back of the slide rail
with the corresponding SIDE A or SIDE B marking. Align
the holes on the bracket with the pins on the slide rail and
push the bracket downward until it locks in place.
4. Install the CMA:
 At the back of the server , fit the latch on the front end of
the CMA on the innermost bracket of the slide assembly
until the latch engages (
1 ).
Fit the other latch on the end of the outermost bracket
until the latch engages (2).
To remove the CMA, disengage both latches by
pressing the CMA release buttons at the top of the inner
and outer latch housings (3).
5. Move the CMA away from the CMA tray:
 The CMA can be rotated away from the server for access
and service (to the service position). At the hinged end, lift
the CMA away from the tray to unseat it (
1 ).
After it is unseated from the tray, swing the CMA away
from the server (2).

6. Cable the server using the CMA:
CAUTION! To avoid potential damage from protruding
cables, secure any slack in the status indicator cable before
routing this cable through the CMA.
Using the tie wraps provided, bundle the cables
together as they enter and exit the baskets so they do
not interfere with adjacent servers (1).
With the CMA in the service position, route the cable
bundle through the inner and outer baskets (2).
Use the preinstalled Velcro straps on either end of the
baskets to secure the cables (3).
Swing the CMA back into place on the tray (4).
Install the status indicator cable at the back of the
server and secure the cable by routing it through the
CMA. Attach the other end of the cable to the corner of
the outer CMA basket (5).
4 — Connect Cables
The following deployment documents a single Security
Analytics server appliance. For information on other
deployments, including those with multiple servers or multiple
SPAN/TAP switches, see the Security Analytics documentation
at: techdocs.broadcom.com
NOTE: Network cables are not included with the server.
Make sure to use only straight-through Ethernet cables.
Category 5E cables or better are recommended for
1000Base-T operation. Category 6A cables are
recommended for 10GBase-T operation.
1. Connect a USB keyboard to the server’s front- or rear-
panel USB port.
2. Connect a VGA cable to the server’s front- or rear-panel
VGA port and connect the other end of the cable to a
VGA monitor. The VGA ports are not hot-pluggable.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the server’s MGMT 0:0
port and connect the other end of the cable to the
management network switch or directly to a laptop.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the server’s iDRAC port
and connect the other end of the cable to the
management network switch.
5. If you are a deploying a Security Analytics Sensor
System, for capturing data, do the following:
 For SA-SRVG8-20 servers, connect Ethernet cables to the
server’s onboard LAN ports (0:1, 0:2, 0:3), from which you
will capture data. Connect the other ends of the cables to
the SPAN or TAP switch.
For SA-SRVG8-40 servers, connect Ethernet cables to
the server’s LAN ports (1:0, 1:1) installed in PCIe slot 3,
from which you will capture data. Connect the other
ends of the cables to the SPAN or TAP switch.
6. Connect the included AC power cords to the server’s
power inlets and connect the other ends of the cables to
a power source.
7. Secure the power cables using the retention straps.
