IMPORTANT – READ THIS FIRST: You must install and register your Orchestrator with the Silver Peak Cloud Portal BEFORE setting up an EdgeConnect appliance.

If you don’t know or are unsure what role the Orchestrator plays, please contact your network architect or deployment lead.

1. Apply Tamper-Evident Labels
   Tamper-Evident labels and the Installation Guide are supplied with the appliance.

2. Rack Mount the Appliance
   Based on your model, refer to the separate instructions for rack mount, desk mount, or wall mount.

3. Install the Appliance into the Networ k
   a. Identify the relevant ports on the rear of the appliance.
   b. Connect network cables from the appliance to the identifi ed network equipment ports.
   c.  DO NOT connect the power cables yet.
   All copper RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the Silver Peak appliance support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
   The fi ber interfaces support:
   • LC connectors
   • multi-mode 50 fi ber / 62.5 fi ber
   • single-mode 9 fi ber (EC-M-P only)

4. Connect Power Cords
   Depending on the model, your appliance may have a single power supply or redundant power supplies.
   a. Connect each power cable to the Silver Peak appliance and to your local power source.
   b. For redundancy, plug in all power cords, preferably to diff erent power sources.

5. Turn the Power On
   Some appliances power up as soon as they’re plugged in, others don’t. If the power is off, turn it on. If you don’t plug in all the power cords, an audible alarm sounds until you do.
   a. Verify that each power supply’s LED illuminates green.
   b. On the front panel, verify that the Power LED illuminates green or blue.

6. Optionally, connect the management ports
   It is not necessary, however, if you want to create local, physical access to the management ports, you can do so as follows: Silver Peak assigns the MGMT1 ethernet interface a default IP address of 169.254.0.1 and a subnet mask of /16 (the same as 255.255.0.0).

Both RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (MGMT0 and MGMT1) support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
a. Identify the appliance’s MGMT0 and MGMT1 interfaces.
b. Using an RJ-45 cable, connect the appliance’s MGMT0 interface to the network equipment interface.
c. Using another RJ-45 cable, connect the appliance’s MGMT1 interface to your PC.
You’ve now completed the physical installation and are ready to register the product with Unity Orchestrator.
