Receiving and racking the hardware

The chassis and security blade hardware are manufactured by Dell. All blades are accessible through a Web-based Dell Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). Blades run optimized security software provided and configured by Websense, Inc.

Unloading at your shipping dock

The chassis can weigh up to 400 pounds (182 kilograms) with all hardware components loaded. It is shipped with pre-installed cooling fans, 4 power supply units, 2 switches, and 1 Chassis Management Controller (CMC).

Security blades are typically shipped separately. Insert the security blades after racking the chassis.

You need a loading dock to receive the chassis, or a delivery vehicle with a lift gate. Dell recommends having 4 people available to lift the chassis into the rack in your computer room.

Unpack and rack the chassis before you insert the security blades. Save the handled cardboard lifter, if a future chassis move is likely.

Security blades are packaged separately, pre-loaded with Websense security software. You will run a firstboot script and enter a subscription key for each blade server, as described later in this guide.

A few Websense components are Windows-only and must be installed and run off the chassis. The installer for these components is named WebsenseTRITON762Setup.exe. This installer is located on the Downloads page at www.websense.com. Be sure to read the one-page Save-Me-Time tips in the 7.6.2 downloads area.
