PRESENTATION AND INSTALLATION GUIDE – SN RANGE PRESENTATION OF "SN" MODELS Presentation SN200 model OUT interface IN interface The SN200 multi-function Firewall is fanless. The product comes with an external power adapter. The SN200 model holds five 1GbE ports spread out in three zones: ...
Page 24
This model is fitted with a multi-core CPU, making it possible to increase processing power. This product has an internal power supply. The SN900 model holds twelve 1GbE ports and two SFP sockets for adding 1GbE transceivers. Specifications of Stormshield Network-approved transceivers are set out in APPENDIX E: FIBER TRANSCEIVERS.
Page 25
The SN2000 model offers ten 1GbE ports and allows the addition of two extension modules with RJ45 (1GbE) or fiber (1GbE or 10GbE) connectors. Specifications of Stormshield Network-approved extension modules and transceivers are set out in APPENDIX D: EXTENSION MODULES (SN910/SN2000/SN3000/SN6000) APPENDIX E: FIBER TRANSCEIVERS.
PRESENTATION OF "SN" MODELS RJ45 Ethernet connectors Connectors The Ethernet (Gigabit) ports of the Stormshield Network SN range are configured in auto-sense mode, meaning that they adapt to the configuration of the Ethernet port on the appliance to which they are connected. These ports are therefore compatible with straight or crossover RJ45 Ethernet cables.

PRESENTATION OF "SN" MODELS Fiber Ethernet connectors These Ethernet ports are available by default on SN900 appliances and numbered 13 and 14, as well as on SN910 and numbered 9 and 10. On SN910, SN2000, SN3000 and SN6000 models, Ethernet fiber connectors can be added by inserting extension modules.
If you wish to install your appliance in an office, choose a flat and uncluttered surface. Add the non-slip rubber feet to SN500, SN700, SN900 and SN910 models: stick a non-slip rubber foot to the underside of the appliance, close to each corner about 2 cm from the edges. This will ensure the stability of the Firewall and protect it from scratches.
Installation All Stormshield Network appliances can be installed in 19-inch cabinets. SN500, SN700, SN900 and SN910 appliances are sold with an installation kit containing brackets. SN2000, SN3000 and SN6000 appliances are sold with a set of rails.

Secure area (Product > Stormshield Network Firewall > User Guide > Hardware). Installing SN150, SN200 and SN300 models in a 19" rack mount shelf In this non-standard installation, allow a height of more than 1U due to the thickness of the shelf and the presence of rubber feet below the appliance.
Firewall. Next, connect the adapter to an appropriate mains socket using the power cord provided. For SN500, SN700, SN900, SN910 and SN2000 models, insert the connector of the power cord (provided with the product) into the power socket on the rear panel of the appliance. Next, plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate mains socket.
Connecting to the network All models are fitted with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports by default. The SN900 and SN910 models offer by default, two SFP sockets, allowing the insertion of SFP transceivers, provided as an option. SN910, SN2000, SN3000 and SN6000 models also offer one or several slots for different types of extension modules: optional network modules that allow either adding RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports or inserting SFP or SFP+ transceivers depending on the module ordered.
Minimum configuration for administering a Stormshield Network Firewall Lowest version of the OS (firmware) For SN150, SN200, SN300, SN500, SN700, SN900, SN2000 and SN3000 models, the lowest version of the firmware needed is V1.1.0, for SN6000 model, it is V1.1.1 and for SN910 model, it is V1.2.3.
Firewall’s internal interface. For a direct connection of the workstation to the Firewall, use the crossover Ethernet cable provided with the product. SN150 model SN200, SN300, SN500, SN700 and SN900 models SN910 model SN2000, SN3000 and SN6000 models IMPORTANT In factory settings, the network port is reserved for the modem or Internet router.
If you do not know what these parameters mean, we strongly advise you to read up on TCP/IP as it would be very difficult for you to configure your Stormshield Network Firewall without at least this knowledge. NOTE For a manual configuration, we suggest that you use the IP address 10.0.0.1 and the subnet mask 255.0.0.0.

After having extracted the defective SSD, insert the new SSD, which you would have obtained from your partner, then type the following command to nraid –z.
(SN3000 AND SN6000) SN3000 WARNNING Certain Stormshield Network SN3000 appliances are not compatible with 48VDC power supply modules and these appliances must not be used with 48VDC modules. Affected products have the following Part number: SN3000-XA10A-101 If your SN3000 is one of such appliances, and you wish to use a 48VDC power supply module, please contact your partner or reseller in order to replace your appliance.
PRESENTATION AND INSTALLATION GUIDE – SN RANGE APPENDIX G: CHANGING A POWER SUPPLY MODULE (SN3000 AND SN6000) Each PSU module is equipped with a light showing its state (two colours: green/red for the AC mains module, blue/red for the 48VDC module): Module working correctly module connected to a power source but not installed in a firewall: green (AC mains)/blue (48VDC).
