INSTALLATION GUIDE
APPENDIX C: ADDING AN ADDITIONAL U6000
NETWORK CARD
Procedure for adding a card
The license has to be updated before an additional network card can be installed on a NETASQ
firewall. For further information, please refer to Appendix A at the end of this document.
To ensure that the installation proceeds smoothly, follow the steps below:
Update the license using the activation information contained in Appendix A of this document.
Download the new license from NETASQ’s website (this license activates the new network
ports). Install the license using NETASQ UNIFIED MANAGER (in the same manner as for the 1
st
activation). NETASQ UNIFIED MANAGER will restart the firewall.
After the firewall has fully restarted, shut it down then dismantle it.
Remove the cache from the PCI slot on which you wish to install the card.
Insert the network card into the PCI slot.
Start up the firewall
Connect to the firewall in console mode (keyboard + monitor).
Enter the command globalgen (this will show the number of interfaces physically present on
the firewall).
Enter the command reboot. The firewall will restart
When the firewall is rebooting, go to the BIOS configuration by pressing Del or F2 (Del is more
widely used).
In the menu “PnP/PCP Configuration”, set the option “Reset Configuration Data” to
“ENABLE”, save and exit. During the reboot of the firewall, the message “Update
ESCD” …Success” will appear.
REMARKS
- The name and location of the option “Reset Configuration Data” may differ according to
the BIOS manufacturer.
- The product’s Watchdog is enabled within the first few moments of startup. Do not
waste any time in BIOS as you may cause Watchdog to reboot the firewall unnecessarily.
WARNING
- The order in which slots are used for adding network cards has a direct impact on the
identification of ports on these cards. To add a network card, you need to go by the
steps to follow described above and refer to the procedures described in the sections
later in this document.
- The warranty may be rendered null and void for all actions not included in those
described in the current procedure.
NOTE
The terms PCI-E and PCI-X refer to the bus technology on the slot. It therefore has to be
conformed with in order to add adapted cards to the right slots. (PCI-E PCI express).
