Deployment
PSU1 PSU2
The following procedure describes a basic deployment for the SMG S450 appliance with
inbound and outbound email traffic routed to separate Ethernet ports (as shown in the above
illustration). For information on other deployments, see the Symantec Messaging Gateway
Installation Guide for your software version. To find the Guide, go to the following website and
search on Messaging Gateway: https://support.symantec.com/us/en/documentation.html
Note: Network cables are not included with the appliance. Make sure to use only straight-through
Ethernet cables. Category 6A cables are recommended for Ethernet operation.
To connect the cables:
a. Connect the RJ45 end of the included serial cable to the appliance's rear-panel RJ45 serial
port and connect the other DB9 end of the cable to a serial terminal or workstation with
terminal emulation software. The serial connection is used to perform the appliance's initial
configuration.
b. Connect an Ethernet cable to the appliance's MGMT 0:0 port (eth0) and connect the other
end to the incoming Internet mail traffic.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable to the appliance's MGMT 1:0 port (eth1) and connect the other
end to the outgoing mail traffic.
d. Connect the included AC power cords to the appliance's power inlets and connect the other
ends to a power source.
03
Power on the Appliance and Verify LEDs
To verify the appliance is operational:
a. Confirm the appliance's power cords are securely connected to a power source.
b. If the appliance does not automatically power on, press the rear soft power switch.
Note: The state of the appliance's soft power switch (on or off) is retained when power
is removed. You may need to press the power switch when reapplying power to the
appliance.
c. As the appliance boots, verify the following:
• The Power LED turns amber.
• Near the end of the boot cycle, the Power LED alternates between amber and green,
indicating an unconfigured state.
• Following the initial configuration (see Step 4), the Power LED turns green. The OLED display
shows system statistics, which can be scrolled through with the Left/Right Arrows.
The front-panel LEDs indicate the following states:
• Power LED
• Sys Status LED

before rack-mounting the appliance. You can perform this shutdown from the Control Center or
the command line.
To perform a graceful shutdown from the Control Center:
a. Log on to the Control Center.
b. Click Administration > Hosts > Shutdown.
To perform a graceful shutdown from the command line:
• Log on to the CLI and type: shutdown
Warning: Do not power off the appliance with the soft power switch or by removing the power
cables! Abruptly removing power can result in irreparable data loss. Always use the shutdown
command from the CLI to power off the appliance.
