Power Supply Disconnection Warning
Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units;
disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units. Statement 12
Jewelry Removal Warning
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to a power source, remove jewelry (including rings,
necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat when connected to power and ground, and can
cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. Statement 43

Installation Warnings
Wrist Strap Warning
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could receive a shock. Statement 94
Work During Lightning Warning
Warning Do not work on the system, or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning. Statement
1001
Installation Instructions Warning
Warning Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to a power source. Statement 1004
Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to
ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: This unit
should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. When mounting this unit in a partially
filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.If the
rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
Statement 1006
Short-Circuit Protection Warning
Warning This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations. Statement 1045
SELV Circuit Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Statement 1021
Ground Conductor Warning
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor, or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority, or an electrician if you are not certain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Where to Find Safety and Warning Information
Faceplates and Cover Panels Warning
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they restrict electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis.
Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statements 1029 and 142
Product Disposal Warning
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Statement 1040
Compliance with Local and National Electrical Codes Warning
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Grounded Equipment Warning
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during
normal use. Statement 39
Safety Cover Requirement
Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover
installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose
a risk of fire and electrical hazards. Statement 117
Where to Find Safety and Warning Information
For safety and warning information, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document
at the following URL:

About the Firepower 8000 Series
This chapter describes the Cisco Firepower 8000 Series devices, which are fault-tolerant, purpose-built
network appliances available with a range of throughputs and capabilities.
Devices deployed on network segments within your organization monitor traffic for analysis. Devices
deployed passively help you gain insight into your network traffic. Deployed inline, you can use
Firepower devices to affect the flow of traffic based on multiple criteria.
Yo u must manage Firepower 8000 Series devices with a Firepower Management Center.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 49

Hardware Specifications
Firepower 8000 Series devices are delivered on a variety of platforms to meet the needs of your
organization.
Rack and Cabinet Mounting Options
You can mount Firepower devices in racks and server cabinets. The appliance comes with a
rack-mounting kit. For information on mounting the appliance in a rack, refer to the instructions
delivered with the rack-mounting kit.
Firepower 8000 Series Devices
The Firepower 8000 Series devices use network modules (NetMods) that contain either copper or fiber
sensing interfaces. The devices can be shipped fully assembled or you can install the modules. Assemble
your device before installing the Firepower System. See the assembly instructions shipped with your
modules.
Some 8000 Series devices can be stacked to increase the capability of the system. For each stacking kit,
you replace a NetMod with a stacking module and cable the devices together using the 8000 Series
stacking cable. See Using Devices in a Stacked Configuration, page 3-10 for more information.

LED Description
Table 2-4 Firepower 8000 Series System Status
Condition Description
Critical Any critical or non-recoverable threshold crossing associated with the following events:
•temperature, voltage, or fan critical threshold crossing
•power subsystem failure
•system inability to power up due to incorrectly installed processors or processor
incompatibility
•critical event logging errors, including System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and
fatal/uncorrectable bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR
Non-critical A non-critical condition is a threshold crossing associated with the following events:
•temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing
•chassis intrusion
•Set Fault Indication command from system BIOS; the BIOS may use the command to
indicate additional, non-critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration
changes
Degraded A degraded condition is associated with the following events:
•one or more processors are disabled by Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) or BIOS
•some system memory disabled or mapped out by BIOS
•one of the power supplies unplugged or not functional
Tip If you observe a degraded condition indication, check your power supply connections
first. Power down the device, disconnect both power cords, reconnect the power cords
to reseat them, and then restart the device.
Caution To power down safely, use the procedure in the Managing Devices
chapter in the Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide, or
the system shutdown command from the CLI.
