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 con­gured 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-dened 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) specied 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 Mount Instructions for HL 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). 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.
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.
Rack Mount Instructions for SL 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 Slides
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:
Install the Chassis into the Rack
1. Push the inner slides, which are attached to the chassis, into the grooves of the outer slide assemblies that are installed in the rack as shown below:
2. Push the chassis all the way to the back of the outer slide assemblies as shown be­low:
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).
Fig. 1 - Front of bezel
B. Note that each end of the bezel contains two raised bumps (Fig. 2).

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 Pacic 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.

Rack Mount the Server
Rack Mount Components
The following items are needed to install rails for rack mounting:
1 x Slide Kit and Mounting Hardware
• 1 pair Accuride Slide Rails
•
Rack Setup Precautions
Warning:
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.

Step 5
Attach outer rail to chassis using 4 screws and cage nuts per rail, 2 at each end.
Step 6
Slide chassis into outer rail carefully, making sure the chassis is level with the slide.
NOTE: It’s easier if the drives and power supplies are removed rst before
sliding the chassis into the outer rail.

Install the Unit

Link the ER Unit with the SCSI Connected Device
This 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).
appendix: san installation
Figure 1: Back of the ER unit
C. Plug the other end of the SCSI cable into the storage device’s upper left disk “0”
(zero) channel (see Figure 2, Item A).
Figure 2 - Back of the Nexsan SATABoy
D. Plug the other end of the CAT-5E crossover cable into the storage device’s port “0”
(zero) on the right (see Figure 2, Item B).
E. Plug the storage device’s AC power cords into the back of the unit (see Figure 2,
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 3).
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 3: 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.)
display
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.
appendix: san installation
Management Alarm
A green LED indicates nominal status.
