Obtain a console adapter—The chassis ships with a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable, so you may need to buy a third-party DB-9-to-USB serial cable to make the connection.

Install SFPs into Ethernet 1/9 and higher—The fixed ports are 1/10-Gbps ports that require SFP/SFP+ modules.

See the hardware installation guide for more information.

If you use zero-touch provisioning, do not cable both the outside and the Management interface. This guide covers management on the outside interface, but you may want to use zero-touch provisioning on Management with high availability. If you use zero-touch provisioning on outside and want to use high availability, you will have to change the outside IP address to a static address after registration.
