Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall 4U Hardware Guide
• The case of the appliance must be grounded using the power connector pin or the grounding nut. We
recommend using both grounding methods.
• The mains supply plug on the power supply cable is the disconnect device on the appliance. To disconnect
the appliance, you must first disconnect the mains, then disconnect the ground.
Install the appliance
Prepare and install the appliance in your network.
Before you begin
• Install a Security Management Center (SMC) on a separate server.
• Configure the NGFW Engine element (Firewall, IPS, or Layer 2 Firewall) in the Management Client,
and save the initial configuration.
Note: For additional information on SMC installation and initial configuration, see the
Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Installation Guide.
• Inspect the appliance, the delivery box, and all components included in the shipment.
Note: Do not use damaged appliances or components.
Rack-mount the appliance
The rack-mounting procedure varies depending on the type of rack unit. If needed, see the documentation for
your rack unit.
Important: Read the safety precautions before you rack-mount the appliance. Do not install the
appliance upside down.
Preparing for rack-mounting
The rack-mounting kit includes the mounting screws and the rail assemblies or rack-mounting brackets to install
the system into the rack.
Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
•
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first. Install components from the bottom to the top.
• The appliance must be connected to a grounded power outlet.
• Use a UPS to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating
if there is a power failure.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep the front door of the rack and all panels and components on the
appliances closed when not servicing.
