Note The inside or outside network connections can be made to either interface port on the

PIX 506/506E.

Step 4 Connect the outside network cable to the remaining Ethernet port.

Connecting a Power Supply Module to the PIX 506/506E

This section describes how to connect the power supply module to the PIX 506/506E. Use this

information in conjunction with the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document.

The PIX 506/506E uses an external AC to DC power supply. Power is supplied to the PIX 506/506E by

connecting the power supply to the back of the security appliance and connecting a separate AC power

cord to the power supply.

Removing and Replacing the PIX 506/506E Chassis Cover

This section describes how to remove and replace the chassis cover from the PIX 506/506E. This section

includes the following topics:

•Removing the Chassis Cover, page 3-6

•Replacing the Chassis Cover, page 3-7

Removing the Chassis Cover

Complete the following to remove the chassis cover:

Note Removing the chassis cover does not affect your Cisco warranty. Upgrading the PIX security appliance

does not require any special tools and does not create any radio frequency leaks.

Step 1 Read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document.

Step 2 Power off the security appliance and unplug the power cord.

Warning

Before working on a system that has an On/Off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.

Step 3 Disconnect the network interface cables.

Step 4 Remove the two screws from the back of the chassis (see Figure 3-8).

Replacing a Lithium Battery

Replacing the Chassis Cover

Caution Do not operate PIX security appliances without the chassis cover installed. The chassis cover protects

the internal components, prevents electrical shorts, and provides proper air-flow for cooling the

electronic components.

Complete the following to replace the chassis cover:

Step 1 Place the chassis on a secure surface with the front panel facing you.

Step 2 Hold the chassis cover so the tabs at the rear of the cover are aligned with the bottom of the chassis.

Step 3 Lower the front of the cover onto the chassis, making sure that the side tabs of the cover fit under the

side panels of the chassis.

Step 4 Slide the chassis cover toward the front, making sure that the cover tabs fit under the back panel, and the

back panel tabs fit under the chassis cover.

Step 5 Secure the chassis cover with the screws you set aside earlier.

Step 6 Reconnect the network interface cables.

Step 7 Place the PIX 506/506E on a flat, stable surface. The PIX 506/506E is not rack mountable.

Step 8 Reconnect the power cord and power on the security appliance.

Replacing a Lithium Battery

The PIX 506/506E has a lithium battery on its main circuit board (see Figure 3-9). This battery has an

operating life of about ten years. When the battery loses its charge, the PIX security appliance cannot

function. The battery is a field-replaceable unit (FRU). You can use a standard 3V lithium battery to

replace the used battery.

Replacing a Lithium Battery

Figure 3-9 PIX 506/506E Lithium Battery Location

Warning

Danger of explosion exists if the lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

To replace the lithium battery, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Remove the chassis cover as described in the “Removing the Chassis Cover” section on page 3-6.

Step 2 Use a flathead screwdriver to slide the battery out of the metal clip on the circuit board (see Figure 3-9).

Step 3 Place the used battery aside and replace it with a new battery. Install the new battery writing side up.

Step 4 The battery snaps into place as you slide it into the battery slot.

Step 5 Replace the chassis cover by lining up the cover tabs with the bottom panel tabs, and sliding the chassis

cover back into the side and front panel slots on the chassis.

Step 6 Replace the chassis cover as described in the “Replacing the Chassis Cover” section on page 3-7.
