Operating precautions
Follow these precautions when operating the appliance.
• Do not open the power adapter casing. Only the manufacturer's qualified technician can access and service
power adapters.
WLAN precautions
Model 335W has WLAN support. Data traffic by a wireless connection might allow unauthorized third parties to
receive data. Take the necessary steps to secure your radio network.
See http://www.wi-fi.org for information about securing your WLAN.
Restrictions and requirements might apply for authorizing wireless devices. Check with your local authorities for
additional information.
Electrical safety precautions
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from damage.
• Know the locations of the power on/off button and the emergency turn-off switch, disconnection switch, or
electrical outlet for the room. If an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off power to the system.
• When working with high-voltage components, do not work alone.
• When working with electrical equipment that is turned on, use only one hand. This is to avoid making a
complete circuit, which causes an electric shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can
easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards the tools come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electric shock. Instead, use
rubber mats that have been designed as electrical insulators.
• If the power supply cable includes a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into a grounded electrical
outlet.
• Use only the power cable or cables supplied with the appliance.
Note: On appliances that have two power supplies, we recommend that you use both power
supplies for redundancy.
Install the appliance
There are several tasks that must be completed before the appliance is installed.
These tasks and the installation of the appliance might be done by the same person or by different persons:
• The Security Management Center (SMC) administrator is responsible for the tasks that are needed before the
appliance is installed.
• The on-site installer is responsible for installing the appliance.
For more information, see the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Installation Guide.
To prepare for the appliance installation, the SMC administrator must do the following:
1) If the SMC has not yet been installed, install the SMC.
