Thank you for choosing to evaluate the 8e6 Technologies ER Enterprise Reporter.
The ER is designed to readily obtain information about end users’ Internet activity via
log les (text les containing Web access data) from a source device such as the 8e6
R3000 Enterprise Filter.
Both SL and HL server models include RAID technology for fault tolerance and high
performance.
The ER is comprised of the ER server and client application. Once the ER server is congured and log les have populated the database, an administrator can use the ER client reporting application to virtually generate an unlimited number of queries and reports
from data in the database. This data shows which end user is accessing which site, the
duration of each site visit, and the frequency of these visits, and can help administrators
identify Internet usage abusers, develop policies, and target sites to be ltered, in order
to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity. The client gives the administrator the
ability to interrogate massive datasets through exible drill-down technology, until the
desired view is obtained, and then memorize and save the view to a user-dened report
menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and distribution.

Rack Mount the Server
Rack Setup Precautions
Warning:
Before rack mounting the server, the physical environment should be set up to safely accommodate the server. Be sure that:
The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Mounting of the equipment in
•
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
The rack will not tip over when the server is mounted, even when the unit is fully
•
extended from the rack.
For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.
•
For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.
•
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment is maintained at all times. Particular
•
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
A power cord will be long enough to t into the server when properly mounted in the
•
rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.
The connection of the server to the power supply will not overload any circuits. Con-
•
sideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
The server is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
•
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
The air ow through the server’s fan or vents is not restricted. Installation of the
•
equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If
•
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specied by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Rack Setup Suggestions
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then work
•
up.
Identify the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the 8e6 server unit. Each of
these assemblies consists of two sections: An inner xed chassis rail that secures to the
unit (A), and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). Two pairs
of short brackets to be used on the front side of the outer rails are also included.
Install the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to
the next step.
Install the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a
short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of
the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that
the rail can t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer
rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three
M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 7
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The
rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is
its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when
you pull it out for servicing.
8 8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide
Install the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step
is to install the server chassis into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the
pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs “click.”
8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 9
Install the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 8e6 server unit into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets
on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack. A larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight
between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach
the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned
with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish by sliding the
chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

1. Locate the right inner slide, (the slide that will be used on the right side of chassis
when facing the front panel of the chassis).
2. Align the four (4) square holes on the right inner slide against the hooks on the right
side of the chassis as show below on the left.
3. Securely attach the slide to the chassis with two M4 at head screws and repeat the
steps 1-3 to install the left inner slide to the left side of the chassis.
Install the Outer Slides
1. Measure the distance from the front rail of the rack to the rear rail of the rack.
2. Attach a short bracket to the rear side of the right outer slide, and a long bracket to
the front side of the right outer slide as shown above on the right.
3. Adjust the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the chassis can
snugly t into the rack.
4. Secure the slides to the cabinet with screws.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer slide.
8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 11
Install the Slide Assemblies to the Rack
1. After you have installed the short and long brackets to the outer slides, you are ready
to install the whole slide assemblies (outer slides with short and long brackets attached) to the rack. (See the previous page.)
2. Use M5 screws and washers to secure the slide assemblies into the rack as shown
below:
12 8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide

8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 13
Install the SL or HL Server Bezel
After rack mounting an SL or HL server, the bezel should be installed on the front end of
the chassis.
NOTE: This portion of the installation process requires you to unpack the bezel.
The bezel has been packaged separately from the unit to prevent damage during
shipping.
A. Hold the bezel upright and facing towards you (Fig. 1).
