Steelhead Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide 25
Checking Your Inventory Installing and Configuring the Steelhead Appliance

Out-of-Path - In an out-of-path deployment, the server-side Steelhead appliance is not in the direct
path between the client and the server. In an out-of-path deployment, the Steelhead appliance acts as a
proxy. This type of deployment might be suitable for locations where physical in-path or virtual in-
path configurations are not possible.

Checking Your Inventory
Your shipping carton contains the following items:

The Steelhead 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 systems ship with the same power cable. The power
cable has a IEC 60320 C13 plug on one end (to connect to the Steelhead appliance) and a country-
specific plug that fits the wall socket for that country. If a system has two power supplies, it ships with
two suitable cables.
You must always connect the Steelhead appliance using either the cable in the accessories box or
another cable that is approved for use by the IEC in the country in which the appliance is connected.
You cannot connect a Steelhead appliance directly to multiphase outlets. You must use a rack PDU or
power strip that provides the appropriate three-prong outlet (hot/neutral/ground). For details, see the
Knowledge Base solution number S13425.
