ENG - 14 McAfee WebShield e500 Appliance version 2.5
Ports and connectors
The appliance’s ports and connectors are shown on page vii (at the front of this
guide). The installation steps on page 28 describe how to connect your
equipment to the ports.
NOTE: We might change the physical appearance of the appliance at any
time during manufacture. For this reason, the locations and types of the
ports and connectors on your appliance might be different from those
shown in this guide. If the changes are substantial, refer to the
accompanying Release Notes for new information.
These ports and connectors are described below.
Two hard disk drives
Both drives are 17.4
GB
“hot-pluggable” SCSI hard disk drives, managed in a
RAID 1 (mirror) configuration. They mirror the appliance’s operating system
and data processing, ensuring seamless operation in the unlikely event of a
problem with one of the drives (indicated by a red LED on the drive).
The drives are in caddies, allowing you to replace a faulty drive while the
appliance is operational. The replacement drive is imaged automatically from
the existing drive; see
“One hard disk drive LED is red” on page 61 .
CD-ROM drive
The CD-ROM drive is used for restoring and upgrading the appliance’s
software, and must not be used at other times; see
Step 4 on page 58 .
