3 Power supply module 2 4 Fan module 1
5 Fan module 2 6 Fan module 3
7 Fan module 4 8 Fan module 5
9 Fan module 6 10 Location for the two-post grounding lug
Note The two-post grounding lug is included in the accessory kit.

The power switch is located to the left of power supply module 1 on the rear of the chassis. It is a toggle switch that controls power to the system. If the power switch is in standby position, only the 3.3-V standby power is enabled from the power supply module and the 12-V main power is OFF. When the switch is in the ON position, the 12-V main power is turned on and the system boots.
You can shut down the chassis in one of two ways:

  • Perform a graceful shutdown using the shutdown commands (see the FXOS CLI Configuration Guide for the procedure). This may take several minutes to complete. Then toggle the power switch to the OFF position. The power LED changes from solid green to off immediately.


If you move the power switch to the OFF position before the shutdown command sequence is complete or if you remove the system power cords before the graceful shutdown is complete, disk corruption can occur.

  • Toggle the power switch to the OFF position. The power LED changes from solid green to off.

information 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.

Network Modules

The Firepower 4100 contains two network module slots that provide optical or electrical network interfaces. Network modules are optional, removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface types (1/10/40 Gb). The Firepower network modules plug into the chassis on the front panel.

Hardware Bypass Network Modules

Hardware bypass (also known as fail-to-wire) is a physical layer (Layer 1) bypass that allows paired interfaces to go into bypass mode so that the hardware forwards packets between these port pairs without software intervention. Hardware bypass provides network connectivity when there are software or hardware failures. Hardware bypass is useful on ports where the Firepower security appliance is only monitoring or logging traffic. The hardware bypass network modules have an optical switch that is capable of connecting the two ports when needed. The hardware bypass network modules have built-in SFPs.
Hardware bypass is supported only on a fixed set of ports. You can pair Port 1 with Port 2, Port 3 with Port 4, but you cannot pair Port 1 with Port 4 for example.

information Note
When the appliance switches from normal operation to hardware bypass or from hardware bypass back to normal operation, traffic may be interrupted for several seconds. A number of factors can affect the length of the interruption; for example, behavior of the optical link partner such as how it handles link faults and debounce timing; spanning tree protocol convergence; dynamic routing protocol convergence; and so on. During this time, you may experience dropped connections.

There are three configuration options for hardware bypass network modules:

  • Passive interfaces—Connection to a single port.
    For each network segment you want to monitor passively, connect the cables to one interface. This is how the nonhardware bypass network modules operate.
  • Inline interfaces—Connection to any two like ports (10 Gb to 10 Gb for example) on one network module, across network modules, or fixed ports.
    For each network segment you want to monitor inline, connect the cables to pairs of interfaces.
  • Inline with hardware bypass interfaces—Connection of a hardware bypass paired set.
    For each network segment that you want to configure inline with fail-open, connect the cables to the paired interface set.
    For the 40-Gb network module, you connect the two ports to form a paired set. For the 1/10-Gb network modules, you connect the top port to the bottom port to form a hardware bypass paired set. This allows traffic to flow even if the security appliance fails or loses power.

information Note
If you have an inline interface set with a mix of hardware bypass and nonhardware bypass interfaces, you cannot enable hardware bypass on this inline interface set. You can only enable hardware bypass on an inline interface set if all the pairs in the inline set are valid hardware bypass pairs.

Fan Modules

The Firepower 4100 requires six fan modules, which are hot-swappable. They are installed in the rear of the chassis. The system supports operation with a single fan failure (N+1 fan redundancy), but do not run the system for an extended amount of time without all fan modules installed. Keep removal and replacement time at three minutes. Remove and replace one fan module at a time.
If you remove a fan or a fan fails, the other fans operate at full speed, which can be noisy.
The fan modules are numbered left to right, for example, FAN1, FAN2, FAN3, FAN4, FAN5, and FAN6. See Remove and Replace the Fan Module for the procedure for removing and replacing the fan module.

The following figure 15 shows the location of the fan LED.

1 Two-color LED

The fan module has one two-color LED, which is located on the upper left corner of the fan.

  • Amber—Fan failure.
  • Green—Fan running normally. It may take up to one minute for the LED status to turn green after power is on.

Supported SFP/SFP+ and QSFP Transceivers

The SFP/SFP+ transceivers are bidirectional devices with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It is a hot-swappable optical or electrical (copper) interface that plugs into the SFP/SFP+ ports on the fixed ports and the network module ports, and provides Ethernet connectivity.


Use appropriate ESD procedures when inserting the transceiver. Avoid touching the contacts at the rear, and keep the contacts and ports free of dust and dirt. Keep unused transceivers in the ESD packing that they were shipped in. The following figure 16 shows a sample SFP transceiver.
