Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliances
The Cisco SNS 3515 or Cisco SNS 3595 appliance is designed for performance and density over a wide range
of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support only Cisco ISE 2.0.1 or later releases. You cannot install
a release earlier than 2.0.1 on the SNS 3515 or SNS 3595 appliance.
Note
Support for UEFI Secure Boot
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure
boot feature. This feature ensures that only a Cisco-signed ISE image can be installed on the SNS 3515 and
SNS 3595 appliances, and prevents installation of any unsigned operating system even with physical access
to the device. For example, generic operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows
cannot boot on this appliance.
