Replacing the WatchGuard CHAPTER 2 Firebox V200 Hardware Under normal circumstances, you do not need to open the Firebox V200 appliance, and WatchGuard recommends that you do not. However, one of the appliance’s major components might occasionally need to be replaced.
Removing line cards The Firebox V200 has two line cards, which are installed from the front side of the appliance. These cards are not redundant or hot-swappable. You must complete a system shutdown in CLI or Vcontroller and turn off the appliance before you replace the line cards.
Page 21
You must properly shutdown the system and turn off the power switch on the rear of the unit before removing a line card. Failure to do so could cause file corruption or damage to the board or system. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist and to the grounding connector at the back of the unit before opening the appliance or removing any card or module.
Replacing a fan card The Firebox V200 operates with two fan cards. To view the status of each fan card, check the Fan Card Status LEDs on the front of the unit. If one of the five fans on a fan card is not operating, the status light for that card turns from green to red.
Page 23
The fan status light changes to red when any one or more of the five fans on the fan card are not operating. To maintain optimal cooling, the fan card should be replaced promptly when the light is red. However, do not remove the fan card until a replacement fan card is available.
Page 24
When one fan card is removed, the blades on the other fan card continue to spin to provide cooling as long as the appliance is powered. Do not leave the appliance unattended when a fan card is removed. ARNING ARNING WatchGuard Firebox V200...
Replacing a power supply module Because the Firebox V200 supports two fully redundant power supplies, either module can be removed while the appliance is in operation. To determine the status of each power supply, check the Fault LED and Power Good LED on each power supply, or check the Power Supply Status LEDs on the front of the unit.

If you want to shut off the power to the appliance to replace the power supply, make sure you complete a system shutdown in CLI or Vcontroller before shutting off the power. For information on how to complete a system shutdown, see the Firebox Vclass User Guide. AUTION AUTION WatchGuard Firebox V200...
