Chapter 7 Installing the IPS 4510 and IPS 4520

Removing and Installing the Power Supply Module

Removing and Installing the Power Supply Module

The IPS 4510 ships with one power supply module and one fan module installed, and the IPS 4520 ships with two power supply modules installed in a load balancing/sharing configuration. This configuration ensures that if one power supply module fails, the other power supply module assumes the full load until the failed power supply module is replaced. To maintain airflow, both bays must be populated by either a power supply module and a fan module or two power supply modules.

You can replace the fan module with a second power supply module in the IPS 4520 to create a redundant power supply module configuration. If you already have two power supply modules installed, you can install or replace either power supply module without powering off the sensor, as long as one power supply module is active and functioning correctly.

If only one power supply module is installed, do not remove the power supply module unless the sensor has been powered off. Removing the only operational power supply module causes an immediate power loss.

Caution If you remove a power supply or fan module, replace it immediately to prevent disruption of service.

Caution If the appliance is subjected to environmental overheating, it shuts down and you must manually power cycle it to turn it on again.

To remove and install the power supply module, follow these steps:

Step 1 If you are removing the only power supply module, power off the sensor.

Step 2 From the back panel of the sensor, unplug the power supply module cable.

Step 3 On the back of the sensor, loosen the captive screws from the power supply module.

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.
