Built-In Interfaces
The Firebox M370, M470, M570, and M670 models have eight built-in network interfaces, two USB interfaces,
and one serial console port.
Dual USB interfaces
Connect a USB storage device to use for USB backup and restore, or to store a support snapshot.
For more information about USB functions, see the current Fireware Help.
Console port
An RJ45 connector for the serial (console) interface is the bottom interface located to the left of the
USB interfaces. You can connect to this serial interface to log in to the Fireware command line
interface.

Interface Reference.
