Orbi RBS750 behind a HW firewall (USG40)

Good day
I have an Orbi 750 with three satellites. So far I have connected the Internet directly to the Orbi. This worked perfectly. Now I have a Firewal USG40 which I would like to place between the Internet and Orbi. The firewall will manage the IP addresses (DHCP).
Now my questions:
1. Do I have to connect the firewall to the Orbi via the Internet port (yellow connection)?
2. Do I have to reconfigure the Orbi or is it enough to deactivate DHCP?
Thank you very much
