Connecting the SteelFusion Edge to your network
Use standard Ethernet straight-through and crossover cables to connect to your network in an in-path
configuration. Make sure that you use the correct cables to establish your network connections:
Straight-through cables - Typically used for RiOS management or data ports. The straight-though
cables are used to connect the primary, LAN, and AUX ports as well as the hypervisor node
interfaces for branch hypervisor connectivity.
Crossover cable - Connects the WAN port on the appliance to the WAN router.
To connect the appliance to your network
Plug the straight-through cable into the primary port of the SteelFusion Edge appliance and the
LAN switch. This can be any port on your LAN switch configured to connect to a host. (See
Figure 2-7.)

Installation and Configuration Guide.
Powering on the system
This section describes how to connect the AC power and how to power on the system.
Caution: In European electrical environments, you must ground (earth) the Green/Yellow tab on the power cord or
risk electrical shock.
To power on the appliance
1. Remove the foam piece that sits between the bezel and the hard drives.
Caution: Failure to remove this piece on newly shipped appliances will block proper airflow through the unit and
cause overheating.
