eR enteRpRise RepoRteR intRoduCtion
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.
ER “H” 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. Hazardous conditions may be
•
created by an uneven weight distribution.
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.
•
The rack is grounded and will maintain a reliable ground at all times.
•
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.
•
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.
•
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
•
NOTE: Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Rack Mount Instructions for non-“H” Servers
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). A sliding
rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the xed rack rail. The
A and B rails must be detached from each other in order to install.
To remove the xed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible. You should hear a
“click” sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner
rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the
left and right side rack rail.
10 8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide
Install the Chassis Rails
Position the xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the server
chassis making sure the ve screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right
specic. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis. Repeat this procedure for the
other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets
when installing into a Telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, 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.
Install the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the server unit in the rack. Position the xed rack
rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding
rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using
the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making
sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 11
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).
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 8e6 server unit into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given
on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart
just enough to accommodate the width of the Telco rack.
12 8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide
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.
8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide 13
Rack Mount Instructions for “H” Servers
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.
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.
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.

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.” Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the
server to the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 8e6 server unit into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given
on the previous page for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart
just enough to accommodate the width of the Telco rack.
16 8e6 enterprise reporter Quick start Guide
Check the Power Supply
This server is equipped with a universal power supply that handles 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz.
A standard power cord interface (IEC 950) facilitates power plugs that are suitable for
most European, North American, and Pacic Rim countries.
Power Supply Precautions
Warning:
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
•
surges, voltage spikes and to keep the server operating in case of a power failure.
In geographic regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, 8e6 highly recom-
•
mends plugging the AC power cord for the server into a surge suppressor.
Use appropriately rated extension cords or power strips only.
•
Allow power supply units to cool before touching them.

Before rack mounting the unit, the physical environment should be set up to safely accommodate the unit. Be sure that:
The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Hazardous conditions may be
•
created by an uneven weight distribution.
The rack will not tip over when the unit is mounted, even when the unit is fully ex-
•
tended from the rack.
For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.
•
For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.
•
The rack is grounded and will maintain a reliable ground at all times.
•
A power cord will be long enough to t into the unit when properly mounted in the
•
rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.
The connection of the unit to the power supply will not overload any circuits.
•
The unit is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
•
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
The air ow through the unit’s fan or vents is not restricted.
•
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
•
NOTE: Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Install the Unit
Link the ER Unit with the SCSI Connected Device
This sub-step is a continuation from the Storage Device Setup (for Attached Storage
Units) portion of Step 1A or 1B in the ER section. The procedures outlined in this step
require the use of the CAT-5E crossover cable and the Ultra SCSI 160 cable.
A. Plug the SCSI cable into the upper right slot on the back of the ER unit (see Figure 1,
Item A).
B. Plug one end of the CAT-5E crossover cable into the ER unit’s LAN 2 port—the port
on the right (see Figure 1 Item B for non-“H” units, and Figure 2 Item B for “H” units).

D. Plug the other end of the CAT-5E crossover cable into the storage device’s port “0”
(zero) on the right (see Figure 3 Item B).
E. Plug the storage device’s AC power cords into the back of the unit (see Figure 3 Item
C).
F. Plug the loose ends of the AC power cords into a power source with an appropriate
rating. It is strongly suggested you use an uninterruptible power supply.
WARNING: Be sure all drives are installed in the storage device unit before
powering on the unit. Be sure the ER unit is not powered on.
G. Turn on the power switches at the back of the storage device,
which are positioned to the right of the power cord connectors.
The boot-up process may take up to 5 minutes. When the unit
is booted up, the three vertical LED lights at the left of the front
panel will be lit up (see Figure 4).
Once all LED lights are lit, the ER can be powered on.
Shut Down, Restart Procedures
Follow the procedures in this section if you need to shut down or
restart the storage device.
Shut Down the Storage Device Unit
Figure 4: LED
If you need to shut down the storage device, always follow these
steps:
A. Power off the ER unit rst. (Refer to the Physically Connect the ER to the Network
sub-step in Step 1B of the ER section for shut down procedures.)
B. Power off the storage device next by turning off both switches in the back of the unit.
Restart the Storage Device Unit
The storage device must be restarted after a power failure. In this instance, the storage
device may already be turned on, but needs to be booted up again.
WARNING: You must always power on the storage device before powering on
the ER unit. Since the storage device is an information database, if you experience
a power interruption or if you power off the storage device without going through
the standard shut down procedures, you may lose data and/or damage the le
system.

To restart the storage device, press the power button on the front panel. The boot-up
process may take up to 5 minutes.

LED Display
Temperature and Ventilation Status
When the LED is green, the blowers are operating at an acceptable RPM, and the internal temperature sensors are within acceptable limits.
The LED alternates green and red to indicate a predicted failure of one blower or an
alarmingly rapid increase in temperature.
If the LED is red, a blower has failed or the unit is too hot, and an audible alarm will
sound.
Power Supply Status
The LED is green if both power supplies are functional.
The LED is red if either power supply has failed, and an audible alarm will sound. In this
scenario, an authorized service personnel should examine the LEDs on each power supply module to determine which has failed.
WARNING: Inadvertently removing the functional, surviving power supply will
result in system failure and possible data loss.
