Note:

Electrical Safety Precautions

Caution: During installation or maintenance procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the electronics of the appliance. Use a conductive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground or to the appliance. You can attach it to the connector beside the ESD symbol on the back.

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from damage.

wBe aware of the location of the emergency power off (EPO) switch, so that you can quickly remove power to the appliance if an electrical accident occurs.

wUse a regulated, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep the appliance operating in case of power failure.

wDo not work alone when working with high voltage components.

wAlways disconnect the appliance from power before removing or installing any component. First shut down the appliance, and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units. As long as the power cord is plugged in, line voltages can be present in the power supply, even when the power switch is OFF.

wDo not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

wMake sure that the power supply cords include grounding plugs and are plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

wMake sure that the power source can handle the appliance's maximum power consumption rating with no danger of an overload.

wA reliable ground must be maintained at all times. Therefore, the rack should be grounded. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connection to the branch circuit (for example, connections to power strips).

Setting Up Connectivity

After you have installed your appliance in a rack, you are ready to perform the initial configuration. To perform the initial configuration, you can use the Management Service user interface or the serial console. You can access the Management Service user interface from any computer that is on the same network as the new SDX appliance. If you do not have a computer on the same network, use the serial console to perform the initial configuration of the SDX appliance. Citrix recommends that, as soon as you complete the initial configuration, you change the root-user password. For information about changing the root-user password, see Changing the Password of the Default User Account.
