This document provides instructions for quickly installing and setting up a FireEye appliance. The FireEye appliance can identify malware attacks on a network, block attacks, and alert administrators. Setup instructions are provided for using either the front panel LCD or a serial console. The steps include mounting the appliance, connecting network cables, powering on, and configuring basic network and security settings using a menu interface. Additional documentation is referenced for more complete configuration and usage information.

Inside this Card
• Before You Begin
• Installing the FireEye Appliance
• Quick Set-Up Using the
Front Panel LCD
FireEye™ Appliance
Quick Start
Use this quick start card to install the FireEye appliance in minutes. FireEye appliances can
accurately identify malicious attacks, including targeted attacks specific to a particular
enterprise network. After definitively confirming a targeted malware attack, the FireEye
appliance can block the attack, quarantine the infected machine, and alert administrators
about the incident.
Before You Begin
• Quick Set-Up Using the
Serial Console
• Inspect the package contents and verify that you have received all components listed in
the packing list.
• Where to Go Next
• Ensure that sufficient power is available. FireEye appliances consume approximately
2 amps (220 watts at 110 volts) continuously, with peaks slightly higher.
• Ensure a minimum of 6 inches clearance in the front and back of the chassis.
• Have a serial console cable and laptop or terminal server to serve as the console.
• Have two Ethernet cables.
Installing the FireEye Appliance
1. Install the FireEye appliance in the network rack using one of the following
methods:
• Use a rail kit (purchased from FireEye) to attach the rack and rails to the box. Follow
the instructions in the rail kit box.
• Install a rack tray (purchased from FireEye) and place the appliance on the tray.
Follow the instructions in the tray kit.
NOTE: Mounting the FireEye appliance on the rack using only the front brackets is
not recommended.

2. Attach Ethernet cables.
• Attach an Ethernet cable to the Management
interface (port 1) and the other end to your
LAN to enable remote access to the FireEye
command-line interface (CLI) and graphical
user interface (GUI).
Serial port
Management
port
Monitoring
interfaces
• Attach an additional Ethernet cable to one of
the monitoring interfaces (ports 3-6 on the
FireEye appliance) and connect the other
end of the cable to the SPAN/mirror port of
the switch that you want to monitor.
3. (Optional) Attach a serial console
cable to the serial port on the
appliance and to a terminal.
• Configure the following settings on the terminal: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity.
NOTE: You can use a serial console to configure the FireEye appliance without first configuring an IP address
and to view all console log messages.
4. Connect power cables and turn the
power on.
• Connect the power cable to the
back of the appliance. Make sure
that the power switch is in the OFF
position when connecting the
power cable.

• Turn on the power supply switch
on the back of the appliance.
• Press and hold the green checkmark button on the front panel
LCD for 5 seconds to power on
the appliance.
