Note

For more details on configuring the network infrastructure, see the Installation Guide.

To prepare Acronis Cyber Appliance for configuration, do the following:

  1. Connect the appliance to the electrical outlets by using the supplied power cables.

  2. On every node, connect any SFP+ or RJ45 network port (1 on the diagram) to a switch (2 on the diagram) with access to a dedicated subnet for your infrastructure. Then, connect the admin laptop (3 on the diagram) to the same switch. The diagram below shows an example of the cable connection.
