Figure 1.1. An Unpacked NetWall 6000 Series Unit

This section details the unpacking of a single NetWall 6000 Series device. Open the packaging box used for shipping and carefully unpack the contents. The packaging should contain the following:

  • The NetWall 6000 Series appliance.

  • Power cable for the single PSU supplied in the base unit.

  • Rack mount kit.

Note that the NetWall 6000 Series comes with only a single power supply unit (PSU) installed as standard. This can be for AC (the default) or DC power. A second PSU for redundancy can be ordered separately from a Clavister sales office and fitted on-site into the unused PSU slot on the back of the unit. PSU insertion is discussed in Chapter 5, PSU Replacement. Note that the fan units in the NetWall 6000 Series are not field replaceable and so the fans will not discussed further in this document.

[Note] Note: Report any items that are missing

If any items are missing from the packaging, please contact your sales office.

Support Agreements

All purchasers of a new NetWall hardware product must also subscribe to one of the available cOS Core support agreements. These provide access to cOS Core updates and provide a hardware replacement service in the event of a hardware fault. The terms of warranty are described in Chapter 9, Warranty Service, along with a description of the hardware replacement procedure.

The Cold Standby Service

To ensure maximum uptime, a Cold Standby (CSB) Service is available from Clavister as an addition to certain cOS Core support agreements. This service allows a second, identical NetWall 6000 Series unit to be purchased at a discount so that it can quickly substitute for the original unit in case of failure, with the ability to quickly reassign the original cOS Core license to the standby unit. When the faulty unit is returned to Clavister, a new cold standby unit is immediately sent back. More details about the CSB service can be found in the separate NetWall Hardware Replacement Guide publication.
