Step 1: Installing the Hardware

The PSA Series and MAG Series appliances chassis can be mounted in a rack for secure storage and use.

For unpacking instructions, mounting instructions, and precautions, refer to the appliance’s Hardware Guides at: https://www.pulsesecure.net/techpubs/pulse-appliances.

Next, connect the included cables and power on the PSA Series appliances following these steps:

1.On the front panel:

•Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the Ethernet ports on the device to a Gigabit switch port set to 1000BaseTX. DO NOT use auto-select on either port. Once you apply power to the device, the port uses two LEDs to indicate the connection status.

•Connect a laptop or external monitor and keyboard to the appliance.

2.On the rear panel, plug the power cord into the AC receptacle. There is no on/off switch on Pulse Policy Secure. Once you plug the power cord into the AC receptacle, Pulse Policy Secure powers up.

Hardware installation is complete after you rack-mount the appliance and connect the power, network, and serial cables. The next step is to connect to the appliance’s serial console as described in Home  .

Device Status LED Behavior

Startup takes approximately one minute to complete. If you want to turn the device off and on again, we recommend you wait a few seconds between shutting it down and powering it back up.

There are three device status LEDs located on the front panel:

•Power

•Hard disk access

•Information/Fault

Table lists the name, color, status, and description of each device status LED.

Name	Color	State	Description
POWER	Green	Off	Device is not receiving power
		On Steady	Device is receiving power
HARD DISK ACCESS	Yellow	Off	Hard disk is idle
		Blinking	Hard disk is being accessed
FAULT	Red	Off	Device is operating normally
		Slow blinking	Power supply fault
		Fast blinking	Fan failure
		Solid	Thermal failure
