Installing Your Unit
Place the unit in the desired location. You can mount it in a rack for your
convenience, or place it on a solid, stable surface. If you do not plan to install the
GSS 4490 in an equipment rack, proceed to the “Installing the Chassis on a
Workbench or Tabletop” section.
Racks are marked in vertical increments of 1.75 inches (4.44 cm). Each increment
is referred to as a rack unit (RU). A 1-RU device is 1.75 inches (4.44 cm) tall.
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
•
•
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack
To install the Global Site Selector 4490 in a four-post rack, follow these steps:
1. Select a 1-RU-size location in the rack to mount the GSS 4490. If the rack
holes are not threaded, install a clip nut or cage nut in the top and bottom
front side of the rack (as viewed from the front of the GSS 4490). Install a
clip nut or cage nut in the corresponding positions on the rear of the rack.
Repeat this step for the left front side of the rack and the corresponding
location on the rear of the rack.

Because the GSS 4490 does not contain cable retention brackets or cable
strain relief brackets, you must first bundle the external cables before you
route them. Use the remaining two cable straps to bundle the cables.
Note
Leave sufficient slack in the cables to allow for sliding the GSS 4490 in
or out of the rack.
To remove the GSS 4490 from the rack, reverse these instructions.

Installing Your Unit
Installing the Chassis on a Workbench or Tabletop
When you install a Global Site Selector 4490 on a workbench or tabletop, ensure
that the surface is clean and in a safe location and that you have considered the
following:
•
The chassis should be installed off the floor. (Dust that accumulates on the
floor is drawn into the interior of the chassis by the cooling fans. Excessive
dust inside the GSS 4490 can cause overtemperature conditions and
component failures.)
•
•
There must be approximately 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front
and rear of the chassis for accessing network cables or equipment.
The GSS 4490 must receive adequate ventilation (it is not being installed in
an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate).
Follow these steps to install the GSS 4490 on a workbench or tabletop:
1. Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench, as well as from
the surrounding area. Also make sure that your path between the GSS 4490
and its new location is unobstructed.
2. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis. The rubber feet have an
adhesive backing. Peel the protective tape off the adhesive and stick the feet
to the bottom of a clean chassis surface. Place one foot in each corner.
3. Place the chassis on the tabletop or workbench.
4. Ensure that no exhaust air from other equipment will be drawn into the
chassis. Also, ensure that there is adequate clearance at the front and rear of
the chassis.

Initializes the Linux boot manager, LILO (Linux Loader)
Boots the GSS image (kernel and software)
Displays the startup banner and splash screen for strong encryption
Prompts you to log in to the GSS
Note
While the GSS 4490 is powering up, the green power LED on the front of the
GSS 4490 is on.
At this point you are ready to use the GSS device. Refer to the Cisco Global Site
Selector Configuration Guide and the Cisco Global Site Selector Command
Reference for details on setting up, configuring, and using the GSS device.

Checking the Front Panel LEDs
If you are booting the GSS 4490 for the first time and the system boots without a
startup-configuration file, a setup script automatically runs to quickly guide you
through the process of initially configuring the GSS. Refer to the Global Site
Selector Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Setting Up Your GSS and GSSM, for
details.

Warning
Before working on a system that has an On/Off switch, turn OFF the power and
unplug the power cord.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national
laws and regulations.
Before removing or replacing a GSS 4490, you should logically remove the GSS
from the network before physically removing it.
To logically remove a GSS 4490 from the network, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the CLI (see the Cisco Global Site Selector Configuration Guide).
2. At the CLI prompt, enable privileged EXEC mode and then global
configuration mode on the device. For example:
localhost.localdomain> enable
3. Use the gss stop command to stop the GSS software running on the
GSS 4490. For example:
localhost.localdomain# gss stop

4. Use the gss disable command to disable the selected GSS 4490 and remove
any existing configuration, including deleting the GSSM database from the
GSS device. This option returns the GSS 4490 to the initial, unenabled state.
For example:
localhost.localdomain# gss disable
localhost.localdomain# shutdown
5. If you are logically removing a GSS or a standby GSSM from the network,
access the primary GSSM graphical user interface and click the Resources
tab.
Note
To logically remove the primary GSSM from the network, you must
enable the standby GSSM in the role of the primary GSSM using the gss
enable gssm-primary CLI command. You may then access the newly
assigned primary GSSM and logically remove the GSSM from the
network. Refer to the Cisco Global Site Selector Configuration Guide for
details.
6. Click the Global Site Selectors navigation link. The Global Site Selectors list
page appears.
7. From the Global Site Selectors list, click the Modify GSS icon located to the
left of the GSS device you want to delete. The Modifying GSS details page
appears.
8. Click the Delete icon in the upper right corner of the page. The GSS software
prompts you to confirm your decision to delete the GSS device.
9. Click OK to confirm your decision. You return to the Global Site Selectors
list page with the deleted device removed from the list.
To physically remove a GSS 4490 from your network, follow these steps:
1. Power down the GSS 4490.
2. Disconnect the power cords and network cables.
3. Physically remove the chassis from the rack.
