Introduction

Instead of the usual fixed port configuration of most high−end security appliances, the modularity of the 8000

Series appliances enables you to choose and change the number and type of interfaces for the appliance.

Various Network Modules (NetMods) are inserted into the 8000 Series appliances to customize the interface

configuration to match your network requirements. This document describes how to insert and remove a

NetMod in an 8000 series FirePOWER appliance.

Caution: If you install a NetMod in an incompatible slot on your appliance or a NetMod is otherwise

incompatible with your system, an error or warning message appears in the web interface on the managing

Defense Center when you attempt to configure the NetMod.

Prerequisites

Before You Begin

Before you begin, prepare to insert or remove your module using the following guidelines:

Identify all appliance and module parts.• Identify the slots where you want to install your NetMods.• Identify the correct slots for your stacking modules.• Confirm that the EMI gaskets are in place.• Unplug all power cords from the appliance.•

Warning: You cannot hot−swap modules. You must power down and unplug both power cords from the

appliance before inserting or removing modules.

Caution: Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) practices such as wearing wrist straps and using an ESD

work surface when handling the modules. Store unused modules in an ESD bag or box to prevent damage.
