Installation

WARNING

The ETEP contains a lithium battery, which users should not attempt to replace. Battery replacement must be performed by qualified Black Box personnel. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Used batteries should be disposed of according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components and equipment. ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components.

Qualified service personnel should use the following guidelines to prevent ESD damage:

Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact.

Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal chassis surface.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis.

Software Requirements

ETEP software is factory installed on the appliance. A backup copy of the software is provided on the ETEP CD. To learn how to reinstall your software or install an update, refer to the user guide for your management software.

If you are using EncrypTight to manage your ETEPs, you will need to install the EncrypTight software on the management station to configure the ETEPs for network operation and to create and deploy policies. See the EncrypTight User Guide for more information about using ETEPs in a EncrypTight deployment.

The third party software listed in Table 9 is used when managing the ETEP in a standalone deployment. See the EncrypTight User Guide for additional third party software you may want to install when using in EncrypTight to manage EncrypTight appliances.
