Complete accessories catalog, deployment tools, and spare parts list for log security system installation and maintenance
8.1 Accessories Overview
A complete log security system deployment requires a set of physical accessories and consumables beyond the core hardware products. These accessories fall into four categories: connectivity accessories (cables, transceivers, adapters), security accessories (HSM tokens, tamper seals), installation accessories (rack hardware, cable management), and spare parts (drives, fans, power components). The accessories catalog image below provides a visual reference for all standard accessories included in the deployment kit.
8.2 Complete Accessories Bill of Materials
The bill of materials below provides a comprehensive listing of all accessories required for a standard deployment of the log security system, organized by category. Quantities shown are for a single-site deployment with one Zone Collector pair, one Ingest Gateway, one HSM, and one Vault Storage Array. Scale quantities proportionally for multi-site or larger deployments.
