Step 3 Connect the inside, outside, or perimeter network cables to the interface ports. Starting from the top left, the connectors are Ethernet 2, Ethernet 3, Ethernet 4, and Ethernet 5. The maximum number of allowed interfaces is six with an unrestricted license.

Note Do not add a single-port circuit board in the extra slot below the four-port circuit board because the maximum number of allowed interfaces is six.

Step 4 Power on the unit from the switch at the rear to start the PIX 515E. Do not power on the failover units until the active unit is configured.
