5 Installation
This section will detail the installation of the hardware and software. Hardware installation is
discussed first.
Hardware Installation
There are four steps in installing the unit:
• Unpack the Shipping Carton
• Mount the Unit
• Connect the Cables
• Power on the Datacryptor
Unpack the Shipping Carton
Remove all product components from the shipping carton and compare the contents to the
packing list. Keep all packaging in case it is necessary to return the appliance. The Datacryptor
is packaged with the following items:
• Datacryptor Ethernet, with the Datacryptor firmware and software factory-installed on
the appliance.
• 115v, 240v or DC Power Supply cables (as appropriate).
• RS-232 cable.
• Element Manager CD-ROM (includes User Manual).
• Release Notes.
• Quick Start Guide.
Note: Interface transceivers (if ordered) will be shipped separately from the Datacryptor unit
(1 Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet units only).
Rack-Mounting Instructions
The Datacryptor can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the front mounting
brackets, or simply placed on a rack shelf or solid surface.
Preparation
Before installing the Datacryptor in a 19-inch rack, consider the following rack-mounting
guidelines:
Ambient temperature
Install the Datacryptor in an environment compatible with the 105ºF (40ºC) maximum
recommended ambient temperature. Extra clearance above or below the unit on the rack
is not required; however, be aware that equipment placed in the rack beneath the
Datacryptor can add to the heat load. Therefore, avoid installing in an overly congested
rack. Air flowing to or from other equipment in the rack might interfere with the normal
flow of cooling air through the Datacryptor, increasing the potential for overheating.
