6) Insert the new CFast card into the slot and gently push to lock the card into place.
7) Reconfigure the appliance for the replacement CFast card. See the initial configuration information in the
Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Installation Guide.
Replace an interface module
Replace an interface module with the same type or a different type of module.
If the appliance was delivered with a plate that covered the interface slot, you can cover the interface slot with the
plate.
Note: We recommend fastening a grounding strap to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin
and attaching the other end of the strap to the appliance.
Steps
1) Turn off the appliance and disconnect any power cables.
2) To release the module, unscrew the thumbscrews, then carefully pull the module out of the slot.
3) Insert the new module.
4) Push and hold the thumbscrews on the module, then tighten them to secure the module in place.
5) Connect the cables and plug the power cables to the system and to the wall outlets.
6) Turn on the appliance.
CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling, do not turn on the appliance if you have not installed
an interface module or a placeholder module in each slot.
7) Update the interface configuration.
a) On the command line of the NGFW Engine, enter the following command to start the NGFW Initial
Configuration Wizard:
sg-reconfigure
b) In the network interface configuration options, make sure that the autodetected information is correct
and that all interfaces have been detected.
If autodetection fails, add network drivers manually. For detailed instructions, see the Forcepoint Next
Generation Firewall Installation Guide.
c) If the number of ports in the new module differs from the old module, adjust the mapping of interfaces to
interface IDs.
CAUTION: Do not select the Clear action when modifying interface IDs in the NGFW
Initial Configuration Wizard on the command line. Selecting Clear removes all mapping
information between interface IDs and Ethernet ports, and restores the default values.
