Note
As shown in
, if your unit has one or two single-port Ethernet circuit boards installed
in the auxiliary assembly on the left of the unit at the rear, the circuit boards are numbered top
to bottom so that the top circuit board is Ethernet 2 and the bottom circuit board is Ethernet 3.
(Additional Ethernet circuit boards require the PIX-515/PIX 515E-UR license to be accessed.)
If you have a second PIX security appliance to use as a failover unit, install the failover feature and cable
as described in the
“Installing Failover” section on page 4-9
Note
Do not power on the failover units until the active unit has been configured.
Step 4
Power on the unit from the switch at the rear to start the PIX 515/515E.
