Connecting to the network
Until the FortiMail unit is configured with an IP address and other settings in the Quick
Start Wizard required to connect to your network, you may prefer to connect the FortiMail
unit directly to your management computer, or through a switch, in a peer network that is
isolated from your overall network. However, isolation is not required.
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to port1 on the FortiMail
unit; connect the other end of the cable to the router, switch, or directly to your
management computer.

computer before disconnecting it from your overall network. For details, see
