Install the slide rails and rack mount the Sensor

Prev Next

Trellix recommends rack-mounting your Sensor. For maintenance purposes, you must have access to the front and rear of the Sensor.

Caution

Before you mount the Sensor on the rack, make sure that the power is off. Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor.

Note

Due to the weight of the appliance, Trellix recommends that two people place the chassis into the rail cabinet.

  1. Pull the release button to remove inner member from slides.
