Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Hardware Installation Guide

•
Six fan module slots
•
Two SSD bays
RAID is not supported.Note
The network modules, power supply modules, fan modules and SSDs are FRUs (field replaceable units). The
power supply modules and the fan modules are hot-swappable. Although the hardware supports hot swapping
for the SSDs and network modules, the software does not, so you must power down the chassis before removing
and replacing them.
You can install an MSP (Malware Storage Pack) in the second SSD slot (SSD slot 2). The MSP stores threat
detection results for use in future analysis. It supports the Advanced Malware Protection software feature. It
is used as both storage and as the Malware application repository.
Do not switch the two SSDs. The MSP MUST be installed in slot 2. If you remove it and install it in slot
1, all stored file capture data are lost.
Caution
The Firepower 4100 is a one RU chassis designed to fit in a 19-inch rack using rack mount slides. The ports
are located on the front (cold aisle) and the power supplies, power entry, and fans are in the rear. Air flow is
from front to rear (cold aisle to hot aisle).
