About IP2450 Appliance Network Interface Cards
Two-Port and Four-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC
The Check Point IP2450 appliance supports Check Point-approved, two-port and four-port
copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs installed on a 6U PMC carrier or in slot 3 (slot 4 is reserved for a
four-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC and it is replaceable). The IP2450 can accommodate up
to six Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
When you purchase a copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your IP2450, the NIC is installed before
the appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or replace a NIC, see
Chapter 4, "Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards and ADP Modules."
