Product guide

To mount the Sensor on a rack, you will attach two mounting ears to the Sensor, then mount the ears
to the rack. The Sensor ears attach to either the front or the middle of the chassis.
The illustrations in the sub-sections show the M-1250/M-1450 Sensor.
Install the ears on the chassis
Before you begin
Before you install the ears on the chassis, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power
cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor.
Each rack-mounting ear has holes that match up with holes in the chassis.
Task
1
Verify that you have all the parts you will need: two chassis ears and twelve Phillips flathead
screws.
2
Attach the first chassis ear to the right side of the chassis.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the Phillips flathead screws to the chassis.

Mount the Sensor on a rack
McAfee recommends rack-mounting your Sensors. The rack-mounting hardware included with the
Sensors is suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks and telco-type racks. For maintenance purposes,
you should have access to the front and rear of the Sensor.
Before you mount the Sensor in the rack, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power cable and all
network interface cables from the Sensor.
Rack-mount the Sensor by securing the rack mount ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack.
The ears secure the Sensor to two rack posts, and the rest of the Sensor is cantilevered off the ears.
You need two people to install the Sensor in the rack—one person to hold the Sensor and one person to
secure it to the rack.
