Hardware Guide 1
Hardware Specifications
The WatchGuard® XCS appliance is an easy-to-use, all-inclusive email and web appliance that provides
security and privacy of inbound and outbound traffic. It is the first product that provides correlated content
security and threat prevention with consolidated administration and reporting across multiple protocols.
The WatchGuard XCS provides content security that enables data loss prevention, encryption and content
filtering with integrated threat prevention for viruses, spam, spyware, phishing, and malware attacks, all in a
secured appliance.
Secure Operating System
The WatchGuard XCS delivers the most complete security available for messaging systems. The appliance runs
on a customized secure operating system that does not allow uncontrolled access to the system. There is no
command line access and the WatchGuard XCS runs as a closed system, preventing accidental or deliberate
misconfiguration by administrators, which is a common cause of security vulnerabilities.

Hard Drive Carriers
Each hard drive carrier has two indicators:
Status: The upper status indicator is green during normal operation. When the status flashes red, this
indicates the drive is rebuilding. When the status is solid red, it indicates a drive failure.
Activity: The lower activity indicator flashes amber to indicate drive activity.
To replace a hard drive carrier:
1. On the front of the device, find the
release tab located on the right side of
the hard drive you want to replace. The
failed drive status indicator will be solid
red.
2. Pull the tab outward to release the
hinged arm on the hard drive.
3. Pull the hard drive out of the slot.
4. On the replacement hard drive, open the
hinged arm.
5. Slide the replacement hard drive into the
slot.
6. Push until the hard drive is flush with the
front of the XCS device. Then close the
hinged arm to lock the drive into place.
Caution
Failure to power off the XCS device, disconnect the power cords from the back of the device
and from the power source, and wait two minutes for power dissipation before performing
the installation of the hard drive, can result in personal injury or death.
Caution
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the hard drive. Attach an ESD strap to
your wrist and to a grounded source before you open the device or remove any module.
Wear the ESD strap during the full procedure.

WEEE Statement
WEEE is a general set of requirements dictated in the EU Directive 2002/96/EC. This Directive mandated that
member EU countries enact regulations governing the Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The Directive, and its individual transpositions into specific country laws and legislation, is aimed at the
reduction of WEEE through reuse, recovery, and recycling of WEEE.
WatchGuard is working in partnership with our European Union (EU) distribution partners to ensure that our
products are in compliance with the WEEE statutes, and that the recovery of our product per the specific EU
country legislative requirements is seamless for our product’s end users. If you have a WatchGuard product

professionals should also note that these products do not have any materials that are of particular high value
in their individual form.
REACH Certificate of Compliance
The new EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals)
came into effect on June 1st 2007. REACH is Europe's new chemicals legislation, which is applicable in all 27
EU Member States as well as the EFTA European Economic Area (EEA). REACH creates a new system for
gathering information, assessing risks to human health and the environment, and authorizing or restricting
the marketing and use of chemicals produced or supplied in the EEA. REACH has an impact on EEA producers
and importers of finished products and users of chemicals in the course of industrial or professional activities.
WatchGuard supports the overall REACH objective of improving the protection of human health and the
environment and will meet all applicable REACH requirements. WatchGuard is strongly committed to working
with our customers and supply chain to define and implement the REACH requirements and ensure a smooth
transition to compliance.
One of the REACH requirements is that manufacturers and importers have the duty to register substances they
are producing or importing. In accordance with the regulations, the products of WatchGuard do not need to
be registered for the following reasons:
1. WatchGuard does not import more than 1 metric ton per year of a substance as defined by REACH.
2. WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance
under normal and reasonably predictable application.
3. Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole
product/part.
