Install Network Validation Tool

The Network Validation Tool (NVT) runs multiple tests to validate the network
configuration. You need to run the NVT from a system on the management network.

Before you install IDPA, it is recommended that you run the Network Validation Tool
to validate the network settings for a successful deployment of IDPA in the
datacenter. You must review the network configuration before starting the IDPA
installation. To download the NVT and for more information about the tool, see

Install the rails

The rails are labeled left and right, and cannot be interchanged. The front side of each
rail is labeled Left Front or Right Front when the rail faces the cabinet front.

Procedure

1. Determine where to mount the system, and mark the location at the front and

back of the cabinet.

Note

Install the left rail assembly first.

2. Fully extend the rear sliding bracket of the rail.

3. Position the rail end piece labeled Left Front facing inward and orient the rear

end piece to align with the holes on the rear cabinet flanges.

4. Push the rail straight toward the rear of the rack until the latch locks in place.

5. For the front end piece, rotate the latch outward and pull the rail forward until

the pins slide into the flange, and release the latch to secure the rail in place.
