Astaro Security Gateway 525
Operating Instructions
Exchanging the hard disk
1. Identify the defective hard disk.
In the event of a hardware defect, the dashboard of the WebAdmin user
interface will display the defective hard disk: e.g., HDD1 (right hard disk).
2. Use the included key to open the hard disk latch.
3. Unlock the hard disk by pushing the latch to the left and pulling the
lever in your direction.
4. Remove the hard disk from the chassis.
5. Now, insert the new hard disk into the chassis.
6. Lock the hard disk by pushing the lever in the direction of the
chassis. Lock the latch at the hard disk.
9. SFP GBIC port
The Astaro Security Gateway 525 is equipped with SFP GBIC ports. The
abbreviation SFP GBIC stands for small form-factore plugable GigaBit
interface converter, a flexible interface which changes electronic signals into
optical signals. The converters used with the appliance are often also called
Mini-GBIC or New GBIC.
To use SFP GBIC ports, you will need the appropriate SFP GBIC modules.
These modules are not delivered with the appliance. There are different
module types. The required type is determined by the existing network. The
following SFP GBIC module types may be used:
Ì
1000 Base-T
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via Ethernet cable. An Ethernet cable category 5
covers a maximum distance about 100 meters.
Ì
1000 Base-SX
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Multi-mode fiberglass cables (MMF)
cover a distance of 200 m to 550 m.
Ì
1000 Base-LX
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Here, exclusively singlemode-fiber
glass is used. This transmission option covers approximately 10 km.
Caution:
The SFP GBIC ports use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic
cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser
equipment and are inherently eye-safe in normal operation. However, you
should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
