PLANNING
A Cisco AMP Threat Grid Appliance is a Linux server with Threat Grid software installed by Cisco
Manufacturing prior to shipping. Once a new appliance is received, it must be set up and configured for
your on-premises network environment. Before you begin, there are a number of issues to consider and
plan. Environmental requirements, hardware requirements, and network requirements are described below.

Environmental Requirements
The Threat Grid Appliance is deployed on a UCS C220-M3 or C220-M4 server. Before you set up and
configure your appliance, make sure the necessary environment requirements for power, rack space,
cooling, and other issues are met, according to the specification for your server.
Hardware Requirements
The form factor for the Admin interface is SFP+. If there are no SFP+ ports available on the switch, or SFP+
is not desirable, then a transceiver for 1000Base-T can be used (for example, Cisco Compatible Gigabit RJ
45 Copper SFP Transceiver Module Mini -GBIC - 10/100/1000 Base-T Copper SFP Module.

You can either attach a monitor to the server, or, if CIMC (Cisco Integrated Management
Controller) is configured, you can use a remote KVM.
