Google Search Appliance: Planning for Search Appliance Installation 10
• A web browser, which must be a current version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. The Guide
to Software Release 7.0 lists the supported browsers.
• An uninterruptible power supply to provide electricity to the search appliance if there is a power
failure. The index data cannot be backed up, and the crawl, index, and serve functions will be
interrupted if there is a power failure. If you require the search appliance to be highly available,
consider using a second search appliance as a hot backup unit.
In some circumstances, Enterprise Technical Support may ask you to attach a USB keyboard and
monitor directly to the search appliance so that you can manually restart the search appliance.
