to connect to the management network.

Unpack the WANJet 400 shipping box and verify that it includes the following parts:
• WANJet 400 appliance • Rack mount kit (includes 2 brackets and 10 screws)
• Blue CAT6 Ethernet cable • Orange CAT6 crossover cable

WANJet 400 | Quick Start Card
The power cords included with the WANJet appliance are for exclusive use with the WANJet appliance. Do not use these
power cords with other electrical appliances.
The motherboard on the WANJet 400 appliance contains a CMOS battery. Do not attempt to replace this battery. If this
battery is replaced with an incorrect battery type, the battery could explode. Attempting to replace this battery will void
your F5 Networks support agreement.
CAUTION:
NOTE: You must set the addresses using all 12 digits (for example, 172.016.001.002).
If you make an error while setting the addresses, press several times to cancel and start over.
3 Prepare for installation
1 Determine where to install the WANJet appliance. The location should be within easy reach of two power
outlets, a network connection, and your WAN router.
2 Use the rack mount kit to install the WANJet appliance into a rack, or place it on a flat surface.
4 Power up the WANJet appliance
1 Plug the two power cords into the two power supplies on the back of the WANJet appliance.
If a power cord is not connected, or fails, the unit continuously sounds a warning beep. To disable this sound,
press the small, red reset button on the rear of the appliance next to the power supplies.
2 Plug each power cord into a separate power outlet (preferably to different power circuits).
The power light illuminates, and the WANJet appliance begins a hardware self-test sequence. If the self-test is
successful, the WANJet appliance beeps to indicate that the hardware is operating properly.
For approximately two minutes while the system boots up, the LCD displays the message F5 WANJet Starting.
