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.ivanti.com/support/product-documentation.

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 Step 2: Performing Basic Setup using Serial Console.
