McAfee NGFW appliances are delivered with pre-installed software. If you are using a McAfee
NGFW appliance, configure the software as instructed in the Appliance Installation Guide
delivered with the appliance.
On other systems, the software is installed from DVDs. Depending on your order, you may have
received ready-made McAfee Security Management Center and McAfee NGFW Engine DVDs. If
the DVDs are not included in the order, you will first have to create them.
Configuration Overview
1. If you do not have ready-made installation DVDs, obtain the files. See Downloading the
Installation Files.
2. Start the installation and select the installation type. See Starting the Installation
(page 100).
3. Configure the engines and establish contact with the Management Server. See
Configuring the Engine in the Engine Configuration Wizard (page 103).

Caution – Check that the Automatic Power Management (APM) and Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) settings are disabled in BIOS. Otherwise, the

can be installed on them.
