UNPACK AND INSTALL HARDWARE

Unpack the ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit and install it in a rack or similar. See the product

information guide for details about unpacking the ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit.

The unit comes with sliding rails and a cable management arm for mounting into a standard 19-inch rack

system. We recommend installing all cables into the cable management arm to make it easier to access the

unit later without damaging the cables.

• Ensure that the ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit is powered off.

• Plug the transceiver modules into the capture network ports. Make sure that the latch is firmly

secured, and connect the fiber optic cable, if applicable. CAUTION. To avoid exposure to laser light, do not

remove the protective plugs from the transceiver modules until the fiber-optic cables are ready to be

connected. Retain and replace the plugs if the cables are removed.

• Connect a network cable to any management port.

• Connect one or more of the fiber capture network ports to the network that you want to capture

traffic from. All ports are 1 Gbps capable, and depending on your unit, Ports 1 and 2 are also 10 Gbps capable.

• If you need external time synchronization, plug the supplied PTP time synchronization cable into

the connector.

• Connect the power cords to the redundant power supply in the ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit.

The ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit is now connected and ready for initial configuration.

CONNECTING STORAGE UNITS

Using one or more storage interconnect cables, connect the

ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder storage units through the

external HD Mini-SAS connectors as shown in the image.

Important: Ensure that the HD Mini-SAS connector is correctly

inserted in the ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder, and locked,

when connecting to a ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder

storage unit. The connector has a latch tab that physically locks

the connection. The space between the server chassis of the

ThreatEyeTM Network Traffic Recorder unit and the port casing is

very small and can prevent the latch tab from locking into the port

casing. You can test if the connection is locked by gently pulling

the connector cable after you have plugged it in.
