Before you begin

Install required software

Open the appliance chassis

Determine where the hardware must be installed

Install the hardware

Verify that the hardware is correctly installed

Before you begin

Before you perform the hardware installation procedure, complete the following tasks.

Schedule downtime to perform the upgrade

To install the hardware, you must shut down your appliance. Schedule a sufficient amount of downtime to
install the hardware and verify that it is functioning properly.

Take steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your appliance. Take the following steps to prevent
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Caution: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your appliance from the electrical outlet before opening

the cover.

• Do not remove components from their antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component in your appliance. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, discharge static electricity
from your body by touching the power supply or an unpainted metal surface on the appliance chassis.

McAfee Firewall Enterprise Hardware Kit for F Model Appliances Installation Guide 1

Install required software

• Handle all electrostatic-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads
and workbench pads.

• Discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your appliance's electronic
components.

Print this document

During the installation process, you must determine where your new or replacement hardware should be
installed. Print this document so that you can record hardware location information in the space provided.

Install required software

If you are installing a network interface card (NIC), perform this task to determine if additional software is
required.

1 Examine the NIC to determine if it includes an HE, SE, or HG label near the Ethernet ports.

• If the NIC contains any of these labels, additional software is required. Continue with Step 2.

• If the NIC does not contain any of these labels, no additional software is needed. Continue with Open

the appliance chassis.

2 Determine what software you must install based on you your appliance model.

Determine where the hardware must be installed

Determine where the hardware must be installed

Note: If you are replacing a PCI card that is currently installed in your appliance, go to Install the hardware on

page 13.

To determine where the hardware must be installed:

1 Record the location and type of all PCI cards that are currently installed in your appliance. Use the

information in Table 2 to identify each PCI card.

Tip: You might need this information to revert to your original configuration.

Table 2 PCI cards supported by F model appliances

PCI card type Identifying feature

6-port gigabit SFP (fiber) NIC Port count and type

2-port 10-gigabit (fiber) NIC Port count and type

6-port 10-gigabit SFP+ (fiber) NIC “Tambora” label

SSL accelerator “CAVIUM NETWORKS” label

IPS engine accelerator

Note: Supported at version 7.0.1.00 or later.

“LSI” label

2 Create a list of all PCI cards that will be installed in your appliance when the installation is complete.

Include:

• PCI cards that you recorded in Step 1

• PCI card(s) that you received with the upgrade kit (identify using the information in Table 2)

3 Based on your appliance model, refer to the appropriate section to determine where the PCI cards that

you listed in Step 2 must be installed in your appliance.

1100F hardware configurations

Determine where your PCI cards must be installed in your 1100F appliance.

1 In the first column of Table 3, find the row that corresponds to the list of hardware that you created in

Step 2 on page 3.

Note: If you cannot find your combination of hardware in the table, it is not supported. You might need to

remove one or more of your existing cards to install the upgrade hardware.
