In this guide, we provide a simple, three-step path, to quickly get you up and running with your new JSA7800. We’ve
simplified and shortened the installation and configuration steps, and included how-to videos. You'll learn how to install
an AC-powered JSA7800 in a rack, power it up, and configure basic settings.
Meet the JSA7800 Appliance
The JSA7800 provides highly–scalable security information and event management (SIEM) for large, globally distributed
organizations. It consolidates security events collected from the thousands of network devices, endpoints, and applications
distributed throughout your network. Using big data analysis, the JSA7800 distills that information into an actionable list
of offenses, enabling you to shutdown malicious activities before they cause damage.

The JSA7800 is a 128-GB, 2-U rack mountable appliance with two 10-Gigabit SFP+ interfaces, four 1-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces, four USB 2.0 ports, and a DB-9 COM port. It comes preinstalled with hot-swappable dual-AC power supplies
and 16 hot-swappable hard drives that support RAID. Optionally, you can order a DC-powered JSA7800. See the JSA7800
Hardware Guide for instructions on how to install a DC-powered JSA7800.
In this guide, we show you how to install the JSA7800 using front-and-rear-mounting flush to a rack.

NOTE: Each inner rail of the JSA7800 has a locking tab. The locking tabs secure the chassis when it’s either
installed or completely extended from the rack.
4. Install the outer rails:
a. Press the locking tabs upward at the rear of the middle rails, and slide the middle rails into the outer rails.
b. Insert the front hooks of the outer rails into the front slots of the rack.
c. Secure the front of the outer rails to the rack using the two M5 screws.
d. Extend the outer rails, and adjust the length to fit within the rack posts.
e. Insert the rear hooks of the outer rails into the rear slots of the rack.

f. Secure the rear of the outer rails to the rack with the M5 screws.
5. Slide the middle rails away from the rear of the outer rails.
6. Position the ball-bearing shuttle at the front of the middle rails.
7. Align the chassis inner rails with the ball-bearing shuttle.

Power On
Now you’re ready to connect the JSA7800 to a dedicated AC power source. The switch comes with the AC power cord
for your geographic location.
Here's how to connect the JSA7800 to AC power:
1. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, attach an ESD strap to an ESD point and place the other end of
the strap around your bare wrist.
2. Plug each AC power cord into the power sockets on the rear panel.
3. Plug the other end of each power cord into a wall socket.
4. Press the Power button on the front panel.

Now that the JSA7800 is powered on, let’s do some initial configuration to get it up and running on the network.
Plug and Play
The JSA7800 ships with factory-default settings that enable plug-and-play operation. These settings load as soon as you
power on the switch.
Connect the Management Device
1. Connect a laptop or desktop PC to the DB-9 serial COM port on the back panel.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect your laptop
or PC directly to the JSA7800, use a combination of a USB to DB-9 plug adapter and a DB-9 F/F cable (not
provided).
2. Verify that the serial port settings for your laptop or desktop PC are set to the default:
•Bits per second = 9600
•Stop bits =1
•Data bits = 8
•Parity = None
9

Configure the JSA7800
When using a laptop or PC to connect to the appliance, you'll need to use a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal to
connect to the appliance.
Have this information handy before you begin to configure the JSA7800:
•Hostname
•IP address
•Network Mask
•Default gateway IP address
•Primary domain name server (DNS)
•E-mail server name
•(Optional) Secondary DNS and public IP address
1. Open a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, on the PC to access the JSA800 management console.
2. At the console prompt, log in as root (default username). You don't need a password when you log in for the first time.
NOTE: The username is case sensitive.
3. Press Enter. The End User License Agreement (EULA) displays.
4. Read the agreement and if you agree, type YES and press Enter. The Appliance ID selection window displays.
