Rack Mounting Instructions
To mount the appliance to the rack you need the delivered rack-mount brackets.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Important Note: Make sure you use the screws supplied with the rack-mount
brackets. Using the wrong screws could damage the hardware appliance and would
invalidate your warranty. Please observe the mounting instructions for your rack.
1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the appliance
Place the appliance on a hard, flat surface with the front panel facing you.
Attach the rack–mount brackets to the left and right side of the appliance with
the supplied screws.
Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the appliance.
2. Choose the rack location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door
completely (~60 cm/25 inches).
Leave approximately 80 cm/30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to
allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a restricted access location (no
capitalization) (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
3. Slide the appliance into the rack.
4. Attach the brackets to the rack with the appropriate screws (not included).
Connection and Configuration
How to connect the appliance is described in the Hardware Quick Start Guide. For
configuration you can follow the initial setup wizard described in the WebAdmin
Quick Start Guide or cancel it and perform a manual setup (see the Sophos UTM
Administration Guide).
SFP GBIC ports
The SG 210/230/310/330 models provide the option to add Sophos FleXi Port
network modules with SFP (1 GbE) or SFP+ (1/10GbE) GBIC Ports. The abbreviation
SFP GBIC stands for small form-factore plugable GigaBit interface converter, a
flexible interface which changes electronic signals into optical signals. The converters
used with the appliance are often also called Mini-GBIC or New GBIC.
To use SFP GBIC ports, you will need the appropriate SFP GBIC modules. These
modules are not delivered with the appliance but available through your Sophos
partner. There are different module types. The required type is determined by the
existing network. The following SFP GBIC module types may be used:
