Citrix SD-WAN Platforms
Connecting the appliance to a power source
The number of power cables shipped with an appliance depends on the number of power supplies
on the appliance. Appliances that come with two power cables can also operate if only one power
cable is connected. Appliances that come with four power cables can also operate if only two power
cables are connected. A separate ground cable might not be required, because the three-prong plug
provides grounding.
1. Connect the power cable to one of the inlet receptacles on the back of the appliance, and con-
nect the other end of the power cable to a power outlet.
2. If your appliance has more than one power supply, repeat this process. The additional power
supply is a redundant, hot-swappable power supply.
3. The Citrix SD-WAN appliance boots up.
Connecting the appliance to the network
1. Verify that the appliance is connected through a console or Ethernet port. This ensures that you
can configure the appliance aer it is switched on.
2. Press the ON/OFF toggle power switch on the back panel of the appliance.
Connect the interfaces on the appliance to the network ports on the appropriate switches by using
Ethernet or fiber optic cables. Connecting multiple network ports to the same switch or VLAN can
result in a network loop.
