Positioning the Manager Appliance

Prev Next

The Manager Appliance must be installed in a suitable location. Since it is designed to be operated remotely, physical access to the Manager Appliance is needed only to connect networking cables and the power supply cord, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to configure the software.

Initial setup requires attaching a single network cable to the back of the Manager Appliance. After the network setup is finished, physical access to the Manager Appliance is necessary only to restart the appliance. Trellix recommends that you interact with the system using remote desktop software.
