Cisco Security Manager 4.3 UCS Server Bundles Quick Start Guide
78-21007-01
Updates and Service Packs for Windows
The high-end hardware configuration (24 GB RAM, 7 x 500 GB HDD) provides support for 150 devices.
This configuration is suitable for a medium enterprise deployment. The maximum number (cumulative)
of events per second supported is 10,000 events per second [this value is a 9:1 ratio of syslogs to IPS
SDEE (i.e., 9000 syslog + 1000 SDEE)].
Note Cisco does not recommend (1) attempting to expand the capabilities of the high-end hardware
configuration (24 GB RAM, 7 x 500 GB HDD) by adding licenses or hardware or (2) otherwise
attempting to change the license configuration or hardware or both; the Bundle was tested as shipped.
Updates and Service Packs for Windows
Your new Bundle was shipped to you with current Windows updates installed.
Also, Windows Update was set to “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install
them.”
Tip To change the Windows Update setting, select Control Panel > System and Security > Windows
Update > Let me Choose My Settings.
