This chapter describes how to install the Traffic Manager appliance image on a compatible hardware platform.

It contains the following sections:

## Before you Begin

Ivanti provides a Traffic Manager appliance disk image conforming to the ISO standard format, with supporting files supplied in a pair of ZIP archives:

- ZeusTM\_\<Version>\_Appliance-x86\_64.zip: Contains files for creating boot-able CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and USB flash drives.
- ZeusTM\_\<Version>\_Appliance-x86\_64-PXE.zip: Contains files for deploying the Traffic Manager through a configured PXE environment.

Throughout this chapter, substitute the string \<Version> in file names with the release number for the Traffic Manager you are installing. For example, ZeusTM\_\<version>\_Appliance-x86\_64.zip.

ATTENTION
Before you begin installation, make sure your appliance RAID controller (if applicable) is properly configured and your system BIOS is set to boot in legacy mode.
