Cisco Email Security Appliance C195, C395, C695, and C695F Hardware Installation Guide

Features

The Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) C195, C395, C695, and C695F are designed to serve as your SMTP email gateway at your network perimeter—that is, the first ESA with an IP address that is directly accessible to the internet for sending and receiving email. Many of the features (including reputation filtering, data loss prevention, content scanning, spam detection, and virus protection) require you to install the ESA into your existing network infrastructure.

The ESA C195, C395, C695, and C695F support AsyncOS version 12.5 and later. See Product ID Numbers for a list of field-replaceable product IDs (PIDs) associated with the ESA security appliances.

The following figure shows the Cisco Email Security appliance.

The following table lists the features of the ESA C195, C395, C695, and C695F.

Amber—Critical error detected; 12-V main power off (for example, overcurrent, overvoltage, or overtemperature failure).

Power Supply

The power supply is hot-swappable. For the C195, you can order a second power supply for redundancy as 1+1. The C395, C695, and C695F ship with two power supplies thus providing for redundancy.

Note

Make sure that one power supply is always active.

Power Cord Specifications

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to the ESA. The jumper power cords for use in racks are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords.

If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a incompatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.
