Precautions The precautions provide safety guidance when working with Forcepoint appliances and electrical equipment. Safety precautions Read the safety information and follow the procedures whenever you are working with electronic equipment. CAUTION: Forcepoint appliances cannot be serviced by end users. Never open the appliance covers for any reason.
• To avoid injury, do not open the enclosures of power supplies or solid-state drives (SSDs). Power supply safety precautions Depending on the type of power supply that your Stonesoft NGFW appliance uses, different safety precautions and installation guidelines apply. AC power supplies The appliance has 1–2 connectors for an AC power supply.
Install the SSD Install the SSD if it is not already installed. The SSD is on the front panel of 3201 and 3205 appliances, and on the back panel of 3202, 3206, 3207, 3301, and 3305 appliances. There are two SSD slots on the back panel of 3301 and 3305 appliances. Use only the upper slot.
To maintain proper cooling, always keep the front door of the rack and all panels and components on the appliances closed when not servicing. Install a 3201, 3202, 3205, 3206, or 3207 appliance in a two-post rack Use the rack-mounting brackets to secure the appliance in the rack.

Locate the three pairs of supports on the side of the appliance and the corresponding holes on the brackets. Align the holes against the two supports toward the rear of the appliance and push the bracket under the supports. The brackets are marked with "L" for left and "R" for right. Secure the bracket to the appliance by inserting a screw through the hole at the end of the bracket.
Page 20
CAUTION: Use all three screws to attach each rack-mounting bracket to the rack. Using fewer screws might not provide sufficient support and can damage the appliance. Install a 3201, 3202, 3205, 3206, or 3207 appliance in a four-post rack Use the rack-mounting rails to secure the appliance in the rack.
Page 21
Align the holes against the corresponding buttons. When all are aligned, push the holes toward the corresponding buttons. Front of appliance Top of appliance Screws Secure the rail to the appliance with a screw. Attach the second inner rail to the other side of the appliance. Insert the outer rails to the rack.
Page 22
Top of appliance Front of appliance Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. Tip: You might have to press the locking tabs when inserting the rails. When the appliance is pushed completely into the rack, the locking tabs click as the rails lock. Install a 3301 or 3305 appliance in a four-post rack Use the rack-mounting brackets to secure the appliance in the rack.

Short bracket (attaches to the appliance) Longer bracket (attaches to the rack) Attach a short bracket to both sides of the appliance using two screws for each bracket. Attach the two longer brackets to the back of the rack with three screws through the holes at the back of each bracket: one screw through the top hole, another through the middle hole, and the third through the bottom hole.
Note: These screws support the appliance when it is inserted into the rack. The number and position of the screws depends on the depth of the rack. Line up the screws that you have attached to the appliance with the groove in the brackets attached to the rack.

During the initial configuration of the appliance, the Ethernet ports are mapped to the interface IDs that you defined in the Management Client. The NGFW Configuration Wizard displays the mapping between the interface IDs and port names. In the command line version of the NGFW Configuration Wizard, Interface IDs appear in the column and port names appear in the Name...

Connect network cables to SFP ports If you installed an SFP interface module on the appliance, insert the copper or fiber-optic SFP transceiver into the module and connect the cables. Insert the SFP transceiver in the port slot until you feel the connector on the transceiver snap into place. Note: Make sure that the latch on the SFP transceiver is up when you insert the SFP transceiver in the port slot.
Maintenance Stonesoft NGFW appliances ship with several replaceable components. Turn off the appliance Most Stonesoft NGFW 2U appliance hardware components are not hot-swappable. The only hot-swappable components are the 3202, 3206, 3207, 3301, and 3305 appliance fans. Turn off the appliance and disconnect power before replacing other hardware components.
Replace appliance fans There are four front fans and one back fan on 3202, 3206, or 3207 appliances. There are three back fans on 3301 and 3305 appliances. You can change the fans without turning off the appliance. We recommend that you replace all appliance fans at the same time.
Replace the SSD Replace an SSD with another of the same model. The SSD is on the front panel of 3201 and 3205 appliances, and on the back panel of 3202, 3206, 3207, 3301, and 3305 appliances. There are two SSD slots on the back panel of 3301 and 3305 appliances. Use only the upper slot.
Remove SFP transceivers Remove or replace an SFP transceiver. CAUTION: Invisible laser radiation is emitted from the end of a fiber-optic cable and from the fiber port. Do not stare into the beam and avoid direct exposure to the beam. Note: We recommend fastening a grounding strap to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin and attaching the other end of the strap to the appliance.
