To physically install the Barracuda Email Security Gateway:

  2. Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable from your network switch to the Ethernet port on the back of your Barracuda Email Security Gateway.
    The Barracuda Email Security Gateway supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet. Barracuda Networks recommends using a 100BaseT connection for best performance.

    The Barracuda Email Security Gateway 600 and higher supports Gigabit Ethernet and has two usable LAN ports. On these models, plug the Ethernet cable into the LAN 2 port.

    Do not connect any other cables to the other connectors on the unit. These connectors are for diagnostic purposes.

    • Power cord
    • VGA monitor
    • PS2 keyboard
    After you connect the AC power cord the Barracuda Email Security Gateway may power on for a few seconds and then power off. This is standard behavior.

  4. Press the Power button located on the front of the unit. The login prompt for the administrative console is displayed on the monitor, and the light on the front of the system turns on. For a description of each indicator light, refer to Barracuda Email Security Gateway Hardware.

An APC (American Power Conversion) UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) device with a USB interface is supported with the Barracuda Email Security Gateway. No configuration changes are needed on the Barracuda Email Security Gateway to use one. When the APC UPS device is on battery power, the web interface will display an alert, and the Barracuda Email Security Gateway will shut down safely when there is an estimated time of 3 minutes of battery power remaining.
