Connect it to Fa0/2 - SPAN destination.

The Fa0/1 is the port you want to monitor the traversing traffic (tx/rx). All traffic snapshot will be sent to Fa0/2 as destination port where the IDS monitoring port (in promiscuous@passive mode) is connected to and receiving the packet snapshot for analysis.
