Alarm LED
The Cisco 170 series appliance performs autonomous environment monitoring to poll all external
sensors and monitor operating conditions. In the event of damage to certain internal components or
surpassed temperature thresholds, the system activates an alarm LED to notify you of a critical
condition. For example, the alarm LED is activated by firmware in the event of various critical
over-voltage and over-temperature conditions, as well as when the Cisco 170 series appliance has
missing or unrecognized internal chip components. When the alarm LED lights, contact Cisco Technical
Support to find out the cause of the problem. See the “Contacting Service and Support” section on
page 4-3 for more information.
Management Interface
By default, the management interface is used to administer Cisco S170 and monitor Web Proxy (data)
traffic. However, you can configure the management port for management use only.
You may want to do this if your organization uses a separate management network. This can increase
security by ensuring no proxy traffic can reach Cisco S170 on the management interface.
When you use the management interface for management traffic only, you must configure at least one
data interface for proxy traffic and define different routes for management and data traffic.
For information about configuring and using the management port to set up and manage Cisco S170, see

Hard Disk Drives
Two hard disk drives (HDDs) in a RAID 1 configuration are pre-installed in the Cisco 170 series
appliance. The HDDs are hot-swappable. For information on removing and replacing HDDs, see the
“Replacing the Hard Disk Drives” section on page 4-2.
