You can also deploy the Edge appliance for high availability (HA) where Edge and Core appliances are
deployed as pairs so that if either peer fails, the surviving Edge or Core appliances can take over. Riverbed
strongly recommends that you deploy Edge appliances as pairs in an HA cluster configuration. For detailed
information about HA, see the
SteelFusion Edge Management Console User’s Guide
and the
SteelFusion Core and
Edge Deployment Guide

Checking Your Inventory
Your shipping carton contains the following items:
The Edge appliance
One standard Ethernet straight-through cable
One standard Ethernet crossover cable
One serial null-modem cable
One or two power cables (depending on your order)
Aside from country-specific requirements, all appliances ship with the same power cable. The power
cable has an IEC 60320 C13 plug on one end (to connect to the Edge appliance) and a country-specific
plug that fits the wall socket for that country. If the appliance has two power supplies, it ships with two
suitable cables.
