Connect Cables, Turn On Power, Verify Status for Versions 6.2 - 6.4
Each FMC-supported SFP+ transceiver (FS2K-NIC-SFP/FS4K-NIC-SFP) has an internal serial EEPROM
that is encoded with security information. This encoding allows us to identify and validate that the SFP
transceiver meets the requirements for the FMC chassis.
Note
Step 2
(Optional, applies only to models 2500 and 4500) eth3 management interface —If your model includes
10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces, install any FMC-supported SFP+ transceivers and cables as needed.
You can connect this interface to the same or different network from your other management interfaces
depending on your network needs. For more information about management interfaces and network topology,
see the
Firepower Management Center Configuration

Step 3
(Optional) USB port —Connect a keyboard to the USB port.
You can use this connection and a monitor connected to the VGA port to configure network settings for the
FMC before performing initial setup using the web interface.
Step 4
(Optional) Use the RJ-45 to DP-9 console cable supplied with the appliance (Cisco part number 72-3383-XX)
to connect a local computer to the FMC serial port. You can use this connection for serial or Lights Out
Management access to the FMC; see
Step 5
eth0 management interface (labeled "1" on the rear panel)— Using an Ethernet cable, connect the eth0 interface
to the default management network reachable from your management PC. This interface is the default
management interface and is enabled by default. Confirm that the link LED is on for both the network interface
on the local computer and the FMC management interface.
You can use this connection to configure network settings and perform initial setup using HTTPS. You can
also use this connection to perform routine management, and to manage devices from the FMC web interface.
Step 6
(Optional) eth1 management interface (labeled "2" on the rear panel)—Connect this management interface
to the same or different network from your other management interfaces depending on your network needs.
For information about management interfaces and network topology, see the
Configuration Guide
Step 7
(Optional) VGA port —Connect a monitor to the VGA port.
You can use this connection and a keyboard connected to a USB port to configure network settings for the
FMC before performing initial setup using the web interface.
Step 8
Power supply—Use one of the supported power cords to connect the power supplies of the chassis to your
power source. For more information about supported power cords, see the
Center 1000, 2500, and 4500 Hardware Installation
Step 9
Power—Press the Power button on the front of the chassis, and verify that the front panel power status LED
is on.
