Starting in Q1 2022, the SWG WBG-5500-E2 and WBG-5000-E2 appliances ship with 4 ports. This is a change from the WBG-5500-E and WBG-5000-E appliances, which shipped with 6 ports. One of the supported I/O modules is installed on riser 1, furthest from the PSU.
You can add another supported 4-port fiber card, and increase the port count to eight. The add-on fiber card must be installed in riser slot 2 (closest to the PSU).
NOTE: For a list of supported fiber cards, see the "Adding a module card" section of the
Web Gateway Hardware Guide.
To install the additional 4-port fiber card:
- Turn off the appliance and detach the power cables.
- Detach the network cables from the NIC ports module.
- Remove the tamper-proof label.
- Remove the system top cover:
- Loosen the two captive thumb screws located on the back of the system cover.
- Slide the system top cover back.
- Lift the cover upward.
- Remove the riser card. Grasp the riser card #2 assembly, closest to the PSU, and carefully pull straight up.
- Remove the filler panel from the add-in card slot. See Additional NIC illustration 1 - A in the Related Information section.
- Remove the one fastener screw from the riser card. See Additional NIC illustration 1 - B in the Related Information section.
- Insert the add-in card in the slot on the riser card until is fully seated. See Additional NIC illustration 2 - C in the Related Information section.
- Secure the add-in card to the riser bracket with the fastener screw. See Additional NIC illustration 2 - D in the Related Information section.
- Position the riser card edge connector over the riser slot on the server board.
- Align the two hooks on the back edge of the riser assembly with the slot on the back of the chassis.
- Once aligned, carefully press the riser assembly straight down into the riser slot.
IMPORTANT: Don’t rock the riser assembly into place; doing so might damage the contact pins within the riser slot.
- Install the top cover:
- Place the system cover on the chassis.
- Slide the cover forward until the front edge of the system cover is pressed up against the back edge of the front drive bay.
- Hand tighten the two captive thumb screws at the back of the chassis.
- Plug the cables into the 4-ports fiber card.
- Test the appliance function.
- Install the tamper label.
