CHAPTER 1 Installing the Steelhead Appliance
In This Chapter
This chapter describes how to quickly install and configure the Steelhead appliance in English and other
languages. For detailed information about installing and configuring the Steelhead appliance, see the
Steelhead Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide.
Installing the Steelhead Appliance
This section describes how to quickly install and configure the Steelhead appliance in an in-path
configuration. In an in-path configuration, the Steelhead appliance is in the direct path of the client and
server. For details about additional configuration options, see the Steelhead Appliance Installation and
Configuration Guide.
1. Getting Started
Read the release notes for the product at http://www.riverbed.com/support. They contain important
information about this release.
Check your packing slip to make sure that you have all the necessary parts.
Make sure you have adequate space on a two or four post 19-inch rack. (The Model 50/100/200/300
does not have to be installed on a rack.)
Make sure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 35º C (95º F).
Make sure you have a standard Phillips screwdriver to install the appliance to a rack.
Gather the necessary information:
Host and domain name, IP address, DNS server, default gateway
Primary interface speed and duplex settings

If your model requires rails, attach the rails to each side of the appliance. For details, see the
Documentation Set CD.
Align the screw holes on the flanges with the screw holes on the rack.
Insert and tighten the screws on each side of the appliance.
NOTE: Do not cover the air vents on the top of the Model 50/100/200/300. Doing so will cause restricted air flow and
may damage unit or reduce performance. The Model 50/100/200/300 is a desktop model; it does not need to be
mounted to a rack.
3. Connecting the Power
If your model has a master power switch, make sure it is in the off position (on the rear panel).

If your model has a master power switch, press in the master power switch (ON).
Press in the system power switch on the front of the appliance.
CAUTION: In all European electrical environments, you must ground the Green/Yellow tab on the power cord. If you
do not ground the Green/Yellow tab, it can cause electrical shock.
4. Connecting to the Steelhead Appliance
Plug the serial cable into the Console port and a terminal.
Make sure the Console port settings are: 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Start your terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal or Tera Term Pro).
At the login prompt, type admin. The default password is password.

1 INSTALLING THE STEELHEAD APPLIANCE
The configuration wizard automatically starts when you log into the Steelhead command-line interface
for the first time.
Follow the prompts to configure network and in-path interface settings for the Steelhead appliance.
Confirm your settings; then type exit to log out of the system.
5. Connecting the Steelhead Appliance to Your Network
Make sure you use the correct cables to connect to your network:
– Straight-through cables: Primary and LAN ports to LAN switch.
– Cross-over cable: WAN port to WAN router.
Plug the straight-through cable into the Primary port of the Steelhead appliance and the LAN switch.
This can be any port on your LAN switch that is configured to connect to a host.
Identify the straight-through cable that connects your LAN switch to your WAN router; unplug the
end connected to the WAN router.
Plug the straight-through cable that you disconnected from the WAN router into the LAN port of the
Steelhead appliance.
