Introducing the Cisco ISE 3300 Series Hardware

This chapter introduces the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 3300 Series appliance hardware and provides descriptions of the support appliance hardware, the major components, controls, connectors, and front-panel and rear-panel LED indicators. This chapter contains information about the following topics:

•Cisco ISE Series Appliances

•Cisco ISE 3300 Series Appliance Hardware Summary

Note Cisco ISE 3300 Series Release 1.0 does not comply with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for network hardware platforms. FIPS 140-2 compliance will be addressed in future releases of Cisco ISE software.

Cisco ISE Series Appliances

The Cisco ADE-OS and Cisco ISE software run on either a dedicated Cisco ISE 3300 Series appliance or on a VMware server (Cisco ISE VM). The Cisco ISE Release 1.0 software does not support the installation of any other packages or applications on this dedicated platform. See the Release Notes for Cisco Identity Service Engine, Release 1.0 for additional hardware compatibility information.
