Connecting the appliance to an AC power source

Use the provided power cords to connect both power supply modules to an AC
power source. You must connect each power supply modules. Otherwise, the
unconnected module is considered to be in a failed state. Both power supplies
must be connected to the same power source to prevent a difference in ground
voltage between the two power supplies.

Connecting the appliance to the network

Use Ethernet cables or transceivers (not provided) to connect the DataPower
appliance to its neighboring network devices (link partners), such as switches or
load balancers.
Attention: Do not connect to telephone or other telecommunication circuits.
Do not use a fiber optic cable that is longer than 100 meters. The cables for
small-form factor pluggable (SFP+) modules can be longer than 100 meters. See the
product documentation for detailed information on SFP+ modules.
The DataPower appliance Ethernet port must be connected to a compatible link
partner, preferably set to auto-negotiate connection speed and mode (half duplex
or full duplex). Depending on the negotiated or static connection speed and mode,
ensure that the cable complies with the following requirements:
10BASE-T (10 Mbps) connection
100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connection
1000BASE-T (1 Gbps) connection
10GBASE (10 Gbps) connection:
Two pairs of Category 3 wiring or better.
Two pairs of Category 5 wiring or better.
Four pairs of Category 5 wiring or better.
v Short-reach (300 meters) SFP+ modules with LC connector (multi-mode
orange fiber)
