injury and will void the warranty. Read the Safety Precautions (page 5)
before you conduct any installation or maintenance operations on the
appliance.
Introduction 3
Installation Procedure
Note – You must have a working Management Center on a separate
server to bring the appliance(s) operational. See the Stonesoft
Management Center Installation Guide.
To install the appliance
1. Configure the Firewall element in the Management Client, and
save or upload the initial configuration. See the Firewall/VPN
Installation Guide.
• You can upload the initial configuration to the Stonesoft
Installation Server in preparation for plug-and-play configuration.
• Alternatively, you can save the initial configuration on a USB
stick.
2. If the initial configuration is on a USB stick, insert the USB stick in
a USB port on the appliance.
3. (Models with wireless support) Connect the antennas to the
appliance as described in Connecting the Antennas (page 11).
4. Connect the cables to the appliance (see Connecting the Cables
(page 11)). The appliance starts up and the initial configuration is
transferred to the appliance.
• If the initial configuration has been uploaded to the Stonesoft
Installation Server, the appliance automatically connects to the
Installation Server, and the initial configuration is transferred
from the Installation Server to the appliance.
• If the initial configuration is on a USB stick, the initial
configuration is automatically imported from the USB stick to the
appliance.
See Initial Configuration (page 13) for more information on the
configuration methods.

4 Installation Procedure
Safety Precautions
The following safety information and procedures must be followed
whenever working with electronic equipment. However, please be
advised that Stonesoft appliances are not end-user serviceable, and you
must never open the appliance covers for any reason. Doing so may lead
to serious injury and will void any hardware warranty that may be
associated with your appliance.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself
from harm and the appliance from damage:
• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch as well as the
room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or
electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly
cut power to the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical
equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will
cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools,
which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
• The power supply cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
Caution – Never open the appliance covers! There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Opening the covers may lead to serious
injury and will void the warranty.
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter.
• We recommend using a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
to protect the appliance from power surges, voltage spikes and to
keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
Safety Precautions 5
WLAN Precautions
• Data traffic by a wireless connection may allow unauthorized third
parties to receive data. Take the necessary steps to secure your
radio network. See www.wi-fi.org for information on securing your
WLAN.
• National restrictions and requirements for authorization may apply to
wireless devices. Check the latest status of national regulations with
the local authorities.
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different
electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical
discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage
electronic components and printed circuit boards. Use a grounded wrist
strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Note – Use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) in critical
environments with your Stonesoft appliance. If after a brief power
outage your Stonesoft appliance only partially starts up (for example,
the power light is on, but the appliance does not connect) turn the
appliance off for five seconds and then back on.
Operating Precautions
Care must be taken to assure that the cover is in place when the
appliance is operating to ensure proper cooling. If this rule is not strictly
followed, the warranty may become void. Do not open the power supply
casing. Power supplies can only be accessed and serviced by a qualified
technician of the manufacturer.
Operating and Storage Temperatures
The allowed operating temperature of the appliance is +5...+40ºC. The
allowed storage temperature is -20...+70ºC. Do not operate or store the
appliance in temperatures outside these limits.
6 Safety Precautions
Lithium Battery Precautions
Caution – Do not change the battery; the battery must be replaced by
authorized service personnel only. Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replacement battery must be same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Used batteries must be
discarded according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Shortcircuiting the battery may heat the battery and cause severe injuries.
For California:
Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
This notice is required by California Code of Regulations, Title 22,
Division 4.5, Chapter 33: Best Management Practices for Perchlorate
Materials. This product/part includes a battery that contains Perchlorate
material.
Unpacking the Appliance
Inspect the box the appliance was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the appliance itself shows damage, file a damage
claim with the carrier who delivered it.
