Chapter 3 Installing the Content Delivery Engines
Tools and Parts Required
Depending on your application, you may have multiple streamers and vaults. A network switch is
employed to link multiple servers together within a larger network.
Tools and Parts Required
You need the following tools to install the CDEs:
• CDE100, CDE200, CDE300 or CDE400
• Hard disk drives
• Antistatic mat
• Properly grounded ESD-preventive device
• 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
Unpacking the Box
Each Cisco CDE is securely packaged in a shipping box. The cards and power supplies ship installed in
the CDEs.
Caution Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and maintenance
personnel should be properly grounded through the use of grounding straps to eliminate the risk of ESD
damage to the equipment. Modules are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the
chassis.
To unpack the shipping container, follow these steps:
Step 1 Inspect the packing containers.
If any damage or other signs of mishandling are evident, inform both the local freight carrier and Cisco
before unpacking. Your freight carrier can provide you with the procedures necessary to file a claim for
damages.
Step 2 Carefully open the box.
Step 3 Remove all packing material.
Step 4 Remove the chassis from the box.
Step 5 Carefully open the additional boxes, remove the packing material, and remove the drives and other
contents.
Step 6 Open the accessory kits and boxes that contain the cables and so forth. Do not use a knife to open these
boxes.
Tip Save these boxes should you need to return any components to Cisco.
