R3000IR IntRoduCtIon
Thank you for choosing to evaluate the 8e6 Technologies R3000IR Enterprise Filter
with Integrated Reporter. This product combines the R3000 Enterprise Filter with the ER
Enterprise Reporter to track end user Internet activity and generate reports that assist
administrators in developing policies and targeting sites to be ltered, in order to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity.
The R3000 can be congured to block specic Web sites or service ports, thereby protecting your organization against lost productivity, network bandwidth issues, and possible legal problems that can result from the misuse of Internet resources. This product
also features expansive library categories, instant message and peer-to-peer blocking,
user authentication, and intuitive screens and elds for ease of use when conguring
and maintaining the server, as well as managing user and group ltering proles.
The ER is comprised of the server and client application. Once the ER server is con-
gured and R3000 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. 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.
