Operating Instructions
Putting into Operation
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
Scope of Supply
The supplied parts are indicated in the Hardware Quick Start Guide.
Mounting Instructions
The XGS 87/107 appliance can be placed on a stable horizontal surface or can be mounted
to a rack or you can hang it on the wall by using the optionally available rackmount kit.
Warnings and Precautions
The appliance can be operated safely if you observe the following notes and the notes on
the appliance itself.
Rack Precautions
ÌEnsure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended
to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
ÌIn single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
ÌIn multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
ÌAlways make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
ÌYou should extend only one component at a time—extending two or
more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
General Server Precautions
ÌReview the electrical and general safety precautions that came
with the components you are adding to your appliance.
ÌDetermine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
ÌInstall the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
ÌAllow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
ÌAlways keep the rack‘s front door, all panels and server components
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Operating Instructions
Rack Mounting Considerations
ÌAmbient operating temperature: If installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly,
the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, you should install the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
ÌReduced airflow: Equipment should be mounted into a
rack with sufficient airflow to allow cooling.
ÌMechanical loading: Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a
hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
ÌCircuit overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration
of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
ÌReliable ground: Reliable grounding must be maintained at all times.
To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention
should be given to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (i.e., the use of power strips, etc.).
Connection and Configuration
How to connect the appliance is described in the Hardware Quick Start Guide. For
configuration you can follow the initial setup wizard described in the Web Admin Quick
Start Guide or cancel it and perform a manual setup (see the Sophos Firewall How-To
Library).
Serial Console
You can connect a serial console to either of the COM ports of the Sophos XGS hardware
appliances. You can use, for instance, the Hyperterminal terminal program which is
included with most versions of Microsoft Windows to log on to the appliance console. Use
an RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable or the provided USB cable to connect the console to your
hardware appliance.
The required connection settings are:
ÌBits per second: 38,400
ÌData bits: 8
ÌParity: N (none)
ÌStop bits: 1
Access via the serial console is activated by default on ttyS0. The connections of the
appliances and the respective functionality are listed in chapter ‘Operating Elements and
Connections’.
