5.1 Installation precautions
A firewall is the central device in your network, therefore do not neglect it – install it in the best way
possible, under the best conditions.
NOTE
Instructions on how to connect products are also given in the Quickstart CD-ROM provided
with the firewall.
5.1.1 Location
The NETASQ firewall has been designed to run continually, in an office or other premises. If you
do not have a telecom closet, choose a flat and uncluttered surface and avoid places exposes to
heat (sun rays, for example), humidity or dust.
WARNING
The firewall has to be installed in compliance with the state of the art corresponding to the
practical terms of installation, that is to say: in a protected office or other premises with
limited access. In order to guarantee the integrity of the product and to avoid compromising
the security of your installation, all unauthorized access to the firewall has to be limited.
5.2 Power plug
NETASQ firewalls can operate on 230V or 110V.
Insert the connector of the power cable (provided with the product) into the power socket on the
rear panel of the NETASQ appliance. Next, plug in the pin of the power cable into an appropriate
power supply.
The firewall will start up the moment it is plugged into the electrical network.
A redundant power supply is provided for on NG1000-A, NG5000-A and U6000 firewalls. We
advise you to connect each of the two power cables to distinct electrical networks so that you can
protect yourself from power failures on your appliance. You are furthermore advised to connect
these power supplies to inverters (preferably “online”).
