Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Statement 1017
Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines
Each Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance has a set of rack handles (installed at the factory). You will use these handles when installing the appliance in a four-post rack. You can front (flush) mount or mid-mount the appliance in a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack that conforms to the four-post rack specification.
Note The inside width of the rack must be 17.5 inches (44.45 cm).
The first task that you need to perform is to mount the appliance in the brackets. After the appliance is installed in the rack, it requires one EIA 1.75-inch (4.4-cm) vertical mounting space or 1 rack unit (RU) for mounting.
Caution
You must leave sufficient clearance in the front and rear of the Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance to allow for cooling air to be drawn in through the front, circulated through the appliance, and exhausted out the rear of the appliance. For details, see
Airflow Guidelines, page A-8.
The Rack Installation Safety Guidelines, page A-7 and the following information will help you plan the equipment rack configuration:
•When mounting an appliance in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack is firmly bolted to the floor.
•Because you may install one or more appliances in the rack, ensure that the weight of all the installed appliances does not exceed the weight capacity of the rack or make the rack unstable.
Caution
Some equipment racks are also secured to ceiling brackets because of the weight of the equipment in the rack. For this type of installation, make sure that the rack that you are using to install the appliances is firmly secured to the building structure.
•As recommended in Airflow Guidelines, page A-8, maintain a 6-inch (15.2-cm) clearance at the front and rear of the appliance to ensure that it maintains an adequate space for air intake and exhaust.
•Avoid installing appliances in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other appliances in the rack might potentially interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the appliances, and thereby increasing the risk for causing the appliance(s) to overheat.
•Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the rack for performing any appliance maintenance operations.
Caution
To prevent appliance overheating, never install an appliance in an enclosed rack or in a room that is not properly ventilated or supported by adequate air conditioning.
•Follow your local best practices for cable management. Ensure that cables running to and from appliances do not impede access needed for performing equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Note The rack-mount hardware kit does not include a two-post equipment rack.
Mounting a Cisco ISE 3300 Series Appliance in a Four-Post Rack
Warning When the appliance is installed in a rack and is fully extended on its slide rail, it is possible for the rack to become unstable and tip over, which could cause serious injury. To eliminate the risk of rack instability from extending the rail or in the event of an earthquake, you should affix the rack to the floor.

Connecting the Console
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
Caution
To help prevent a potential network security threat, Cisco strongly recommends physically disconnecting from the Cisco ISE console management port when you are not using it. For more details, see
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Apr/55, which applies to the Cisco ISE, Cisco NAC Appliance, and Cisco Secure ACS hardware platforms.
Each Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance has a data circuit-terminating equipment mode console port that allows you to connect a console terminal directly to your appliance. The appliance uses a DB-9 serial connector for the console port.
The console port on each Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial (DB-9) connector. This serial console connector (port) allows you to access the appliance locally by connecting a terminal—either a PC that runs terminal-emulation software or an ASCII terminal—to the console port, and this can be performed by using one of the following methods:
•Connecting a PC that is running terminal-emulation software to the console port by using a DB-9 female to DB-9 female straight-through cable.
•Connecting an ASCII terminal to the console port by using a DB-9 female to DB-25 male straight-through cable with a DB-25 female to DB-25 female gender changer.
•Connecting a terminal or a PC running terminal-emulation software to the console port on the Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance.
To connect a console terminal to your appliance, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the terminal by using a straight-through cable to the console port.
Step 2 Configure your terminal or terminal-emulation software to use the following settings:
•9600 baud
•8 data bits
•No parity
•1 stop bit
•No hardware flow control
Serial (Console) Port Connector
Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliances have one serial port connector that is located on the rear panel of each appliance. For the exact location of each serial port connector on each appliance, see the following:
•Cisco ISE 3315 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-7
•Cisco ISE 3355 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-10
•Cisco ISE 3395 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-14
Figure B-10 shows the pin number assignments for the 9-pin, male, D-shell serial port connector that is located on the rear panel of each Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance. The defined pin number assignments are those that conform to industry standards for the RS-232-C.

Connecting the Keyboard and Video Monitor
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
This section describes how you can connect a keyboard and video monitor to a Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance. As an alternative to connecting a keyboard or video monitor, you can make a serial console connection to a Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance. Note the following guidelines:
•Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliances do not support the use of a mouse device.
•Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliances provide USB ports on both the front and rear panel on each appliance that can be used for making a keyboard (USB port) or video monitor (video port) connection.
For the specific location of the USB and video ports on each appliance, see the following:
•Cisco ISE 3315 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-7
•Cisco ISE 3355 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-10
•Cisco ISE 3395 Rear-Panel Features, page 2-14
To connect a keyboard and video monitor to your appliance, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Verify that the appliance is turned off.
Step 2 Connect the end of the keyboard cable for the PS/2 (keyboard) to the supplied USB to the PS/2 dongle adapter that is located on the rear panel of the appliance.
Step 3 Connect the end of the video monitor cable to the PS/2 VGA port that is located on the appliance. In the Cisco ISE 3315, there is one video port on the rear panel; on the Cisco ISE 3355 and Cisco ISE 3395, there is one video port on the front panel and one video port on the rear panel.
Step 4 Turn on the appliance.
Cable Management
Cable management can be the most visual element that is part of setting up your appliance. However, the issue of cable management is often overlooked because the time spent is not considered a high-priority task. Because racks and enclosures typically house more equipment today than ever before, the increase in equipment installations per rack means you must better organize, route, and manage your cabling inside and outside the equipment rack.
Poor cable management can lead not only to damaged cables or added time spent rerouting or changing cabling, but it also can impair critical airflow that cools your appliance or blocks access to it. These types of problems can lead to inefficiencies in performance or potentially even some downtime. However, solutions that address cable management issues range from simple cable management rings, to vertical or horizontal organizers, to the use of cable troughs and ladders.
All Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance cables should be properly dressed so as not to interfere with each other or with any other equipment in the rack. Use the best local or electrical practices to ensure that the cables that are attached to your appliance are properly dressed. You can now proceed to the next section, Powering Up the Cisco ISE 3300 Series Appliance, to continue the installation process.
Powering Up the Cisco ISE 3300 Series Appliance
Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected.
