Chapter 6 Installing the IPS 4345 and IPS 4360

Removing and Installing the Power Supply

Removing and Installing the DC Power Supply

Note This procedure applies only to the appliances with a removable DC power supply (IPS 4360).

To remove and install a DC power supply, follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure that the chassis ground is connected on the chassis before you begin installing the DC power supply, as described in Working in an ESD Environment, page 2-4.

Step 2 Turn off the circuit breaker to the power supply.

Step 3 At the back of the appliance, place the Standby switch into the Standby position.

Step 4 Move the circuit-breaker switch handle to the Off position, and apply tape to hold it in the Off position.

Step 5 If you are adding an additional power supply, from the back of the appliance, push the lever on the slot cover to the left to release it, grasp the handle of the slot cover, and pull it away from the chassis (Figure 6-22). Save the slot cover for future use. Continue with Step 7.

Step 6 If you are replacing a power supply, follow these steps:

a.Remove the wires from the DC power supply by inserting a small flat-head screwdriver into the square hole above the wire to relieve the spring pressure (Figure 6-23).

IPS4520K9 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leading player in network security, and its IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) series is a testament to its commitment to safeguarding digital environments. Among its notable offerings are the IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 models, both designed to provide advanced threat protection for mid-sized to large enterprise networks.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 are distinguished by their cutting-edge features that help organizations defend against a myriad of cyber threats. These systems utilize a multi-layered approach to security, integrating intrusion prevention, advanced malware protection, and comprehensive visibility across the network.

One of the primary characteristics of the IPS4510K9 is its high performance. It boasts a throughput of up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for environments that demand rapid data processing and real-time responses to threats. The IPS4520K9, on the other hand, enhances that capability with improved throughput of up to 2 Gbps, accommodating larger enterprises with heavier network traffic. These models are equipped with powerful processors that support complex signature matching and can intelligently distinguish between legitimate traffic and potential threats.

In addition to performance, both models are designed with scalability in mind. They can be easily integrated into existing Cisco infrastructures. This facilitates a seamless enhancement of security without causing significant interruptions to ongoing operations. Moreover, they offer flexible deployment options, allowing organizations to operate them inline or out of band depending on their specific needs.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 leverage advanced detection technologies, utilizing a variety of signature types and heuristic analysis to detect known and unknown threats effectively. They are equipped with real-time alerting and reporting capabilities, giving security teams immediate visibility into potential breaches and enabling them to respond swiftly.

Furthermore, both models support a range of management options through the Cisco Security Manager, allowing for centralized administration, streamlined policy management, and enhanced monitoring capabilities. Automated updates ensure the systems remain current with the latest threat intelligence, vital for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.

In summary, the Cisco Systems IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 represent powerful solutions for organizations seeking robust intrusion prevention capabilities. With their high performance, scalability, and advanced detection technologies, these systems are essential tools in the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity, providing enterprises with the peace of mind needed to operate securely in today's digital world.
