Features

The Cisco Firepower 9300 security appliance is a next generation network and content security platform. Its

modular standalone chassis offers high-performance and flexible I/O options, which enable it to run multiple

security services simultaneously.

The Firepower 9300 runs FXOS and can deploy multiple application types. See Cisco Firepower 4100/9300

FXOS Compatibility for more information about software version support for each component in the Firepower

9300. See Product ID Numbers, on page 33 for a list of the component product IDs (PIDs) associated with

the Firepower 9300.

Cisco Firepower 9300 Hardware Installation Guide

Overview

Chassis Components

Power Switch

The initial Firepower 9300 AC chassis has no external power switch. You reset the Firepower 9300 using

CLI commands. To physically power cycle the 9300, you must unplug the power cord and then plug the

power cord back in.

Note

After removing power from the chassis either by moving the power switch to OFF or unplugging the

power cord, wait at least 10 seconds before turning power back ON.

Note

The Firepower 9300 chassis has a standby power switch at the rear of the chassis. It controls both power

supply modules. You must shut down the software applications gracefully before turning the switch to

OFF.

Turning the switch to OFF turns off the main power to the Supervisor and the security modules regardless

of the software status, which can result in the loss of any data in transit and the corruption of data on the

SSDs. You must shut down the software applications gracefully before turning the switch to OFF.

Warning

Graceful Shutdown of the Chassis

You can gracefully shut down the chassis from either the CLI or Chassis Manager.

See the "Powering Off the Firepower 4100/9300 Chassis" topic in the System Administration chapter in

the FXOS CLI Configuration Guide for your software version for the procedure to shut down the chassis

from the CLI. The graceful shutdown usually takes as little as a few seconds to as long as three minutes.

When the System Halted message appears, you can move the power switch on the rear of the chassis

to OFF.

See "Powering Off the Firepower 4100/9300 Chassis" topic in the System Administration chapter in the

FXOS Configuration Guide for your software version for the procedure to shut down the chassis from

the Chassis Manager. After the shutdown is completed, you can move the power switch on the rear of

the chassis to OFF.

When you shut down the chassis, the security modules are automatically shut down.

Graceful Shutdown of the Security Modules

You can shut down the security modules individually from the CLI, the Chassis Manager, or you can

use the power switch on the front of each security module. Push the power button briefly on the front

panel of each security module. When the power button changes to amber, you can move the power switch

on the rear of the chassis to OFF.

Shut the security modules down individually when you are replacing a security module.

You must push the power button on each security module installed in the 9300 chassis. You can have

up to three security modules installed in the chassis.

Note

Overview

Chassis Components

See the "Power Off/On an Installed Module/Engine" in the Security/Module/Engine Management chapter

of the FXOS CLI Configuration Guide for your software version for the procedure to shut down the

security modules gracefully using CLI commands from the Supervisor. When you see Oper Power: off

for all slots, you can move the power switch on the rear of the chassis to OFF.

See the "Power Off/On an Installed Security Module/Engine" topic in the Security Module/Engine

Management chapter of the FXOS Configuration Guide for your software version for the procedure to

shut down the security module from the Chassis Manager. After the shutdown is complete, you can move

the power switch on the rear of the chassis to OFF.

Deployment Options

Here are some examples of how you can deploy the Firepower 9300:

• At the core/aggregation layer of a three-tier data center in a high availability configuration.

• As a dedicated multifunction security service within converged infrastructure stacks (vBlock, FlexPod,

for example) at the access layer.

• As a high-performance data center security appliance between the WAN edge and data center core in an

high availability configuration.

• As a leaf that exclusively offers security functions in a spine/leaf data center design.
