Minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks The Infoblox appliance draws air in through the front of the chassis and expels air through the rear. Adequate ventilation is required to allow ambient room air to enter the system chassis and to be expelled from the rear of the chassis.

Management System Hardware Requirements Recommended System: 2 GHz (or higher) CPU with at least 1 GB of RAM available for the Infoblox GUI, and network connectivity to an Infoblox appliance Monitor Resolution: Minimum: 1280 x 768 Recommended: 1280 x 1024 or better...
Auto Provisioning NIOS Appliances In addition to using the Grid Setup Wizard or accessing the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid, you can set up an Infoblox appliance using the auto provision feature, which allows a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the appliance. You can then join the auto-provisioned appliance to a Grid.
You can deploy an appliance individually or in an HA (high availability) pair, for hardware redundancy. A single appliance or an HA pair without a Grid license runs independently from a Grid. A Grid is a group of two or more Infoblox appliances that share sections of a common, distributed, built-in database and which you configure and monitor through a single, secure point of access—the Grid master.
Infoblox NIOS CLI The NIOS CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. Some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, can be done only through the CLI. You can access the NIOS CLI through a direct console connection from your management system to the Infoblox appliance.
