Use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when inserting the transceiver. Avoid touching the
contacts at the rear, and keep the contacts and ports free of dust and dirt. Store unused SPFs in their ESD
packaging.
Note
Step 4
Connect the Ethernet interfaces.
Use the proper cable to connect the SFP/SFP+ transceivers in the fixed ports or in the network modules you have installed.
The Ethernet 1/1 (WAN) port is configured by default for internet access. Connect your DHCP enabled cable
modem (internet) to this port.
Note
The Ethernet 1/2 (inside) port is configured by default for inside access. Firepower 2100 bootstrapping is only
supported on Ethernet 1/2 or on Management 0.
Note
Step 5
Attach the power cable to the appliance and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 6
Press the power switch on the rear panel.
Step 7
Check the PWR LED on the front panel. Solid green indicates that the appliance is powered on.
Step 8
Check the SYS LED on the front panel. Solid green indicates that the system has passed power-on diagnostics.
When you toggle the power switch from ON to OFF, it takes several seconds for the system to power off. During
this time, the PWR LED on the front panel blinks green. Do not remove the power cable until the PWR LED
is completely off. See
Rear Panel, on page 14
for more information on the power switch.
