Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C190 Installation Guide

Thank you for choosing the Cisco C190 Email Security 
Appliance (Cisco C190).

The Cisco C190 appliance is designed to serve as your SMTP 
email gateway at your network perimeter—that is, the first 
appliance with an IP address that is directly accessible to the 
Internet for sending and receiving email. Many of the features 
(including reputation filtering, data loss prevention, content 
scanning, spam detection, and virus protection) require you to 
install the Cisco appliance into your existing network 
infrastructure.

This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco C190 
appliance and use the System Setup Wizard to configure basic 
settings.

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the 
items needed.

The following items are included with the Cisco C190 Email 
Security Appliance:

Rail kit

Power cables

A card listing the location of online documentation for your
