Mount the ProxySG on a Shelf

If you plan to put the ProxySG on a shelf or similar surface rather than mounting it into an equipment rack, attach the four skid-proof rubber pads to the bottom of the appliance. If you plan to mount the ProxySG in an equipment rack, refer to the Blue Coat ProxySG 400 Series Installation Guide for instructions.

Carefully turn the ProxySG upside down to access the bottom of the unit. Peel the adhesive backing from one of the rubber pads and affix it to one of the corners at the bottom of the ProxySG; repeat for the other three rubber pads.

Affix the rubber pads to each corner of the bottom of the unit

Carefully turn the ProxySG right-side up.

Attach the Cable Supports

Two cable supports are included with the ProxySG: The cable management support routes network serial cables to avoid tangling. The power cord retainer prevents the ProxySG power cord from being pulled out accidentally. Fasten the two cable supports to the back of the ProxySG.

Position the cable management support at the back of the ProxySG on the right; secure it with a flathead screw at the side of the ProxySG.
