• If the power supply cable includes a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into a grounded electrical
outlet.
Install the appliance
Prepare and install the appliance in your network. There are some tasks to perform first.
• Install a Security Management Center (SMC) on a separate server.
• Configure the Firewall element in the Management Client, and save the initial configuration on a USB drive.
For additional information on SMC installation and initial configuration, see the Forcepoint Next Generation
Firewall Installation Guide.
• Inspect the appliance, the delivery box, and all components included in the shipment.
Note: Do not use damaged appliances or components.
330, 331, 335, and 335W appliances do not require rack-mounting and can be placed on a surface such as a
desk or rack shelf.
Preparing for rack-mounting
The rack-mounting kit includes the mounting screws and the rail assemblies or rack-mounting brackets to install
the system into the rack.
Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first. Install components from the bottom to the top.
• The appliance must be connected to a grounded power outlet.
• Use a UPS to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating
if there is a power failure.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep the front door of the rack and all panels and components on the
appliances closed when not servicing.
Install a 330, 331, 335, or 335W appliance in a
two-post or four-post rack
Use the rack-mounting brackets to secure the appliance in the rack.
The brackets and screws are not included by default. You can order them separately. When you install the
appliance in a four-post rack, only two posts are used.
