Scope of Supply The supplied parts are indicated in the Hardware Quick Start Guide. Mounting Instructions The XG 750 appliances are designed for use in racks. Please consider the following security tips: Important Note: Functional reliability outside of a rack cannot be guaranteed.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Because of their dimension and weight the XG 750 models are delivered with a special rail kit. Important Note: Make sure you use the screws supplied with the rack-mount brackets.
How to connect the appliance is described in the Hardware Quick Start Guide. For configuration you can follow the initial setup wizard described in the WebAdmin Quick Start Guide or cancel it and perform a manual setup (see the Sophos XG Firewall Administrator Guide).
Redundant Power Supply The XG 750 models are equipped with a redundant power supply. The power supply system consists of two separate power supply units. This power supply system increases the availability of the security appliance, since a defective power supply unit can be exchanged easily and quickly during operation.

SFP GBIC ports The XG 750 models provide the option to add Sophos FleXi Port network modules with SFP (1 GbE) or SFP+ (1/10GbE) GBIC Ports. The abbreviation SFP GBIC stands for small form-factore plugable GigaBit interface converter, a flexible interface which changes electronic signals into optical signals.
Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module. Serial Console You can connect a serial console to the COM port of the Sophos hardware appliances. You can use, for instance, the Hyperterminal terminal program which is included with most versions of Microsoft Windows to log on to the appliance console. Use the provided RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable to connect the console to your hardware appliance.
