includes instructions to install your Firebox andits components:

Rack mount installation

Interface module installation

Power supply installation and replacement

Rack Mount Installation

Each Firebox device ships with rack mount ears for installation in a network rack.

Rack rail kit

2 sliding rails

2.2.2021 Firebox M4800 Hardware Guide

https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Hardware-Guides/firebox-m4800-hardware-guide.html 7/18

10 small screws and 8 large screws

Front ear bracket kit

2 front ear brackets

6 small screws and 2 large screws

Precautions

When you install the device in a rack, make sure you consider these factors:

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If you install the device in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature

of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient. Make sure the ambient

temperature of the rack environment is within the certiﬁed operating range speciﬁed in this

Hardware Guide.

Reduced Air Flow

When you install the device in a rack, make sure that the amount of air ﬂow required for safe

operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

When you mount the device in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by uneven mechanical

Circuit Overloading

2.2.2021 Firebox M4800 Hardware Guide

https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Hardware-Guides/firebox-m4800-hardware-guide.html 8/18

Make sure you connect the device to the power supply circuit in such a way that there is no

overloading of the circuits, and no impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Reliable Grounding

Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is correctly grounded. For example, make sure you use

power strips instead of direct connections to the branch circuit.

Do not use your slide/rail mounted device as a shelf or work space.

Separate the inner rails from the outer rails

Attach the inner rails and front ear brackets to the Firebox

Attach the outer rails to the rack

Install alternate screws on the rails (if needed)

Install the Firebox in the rack

Remove the Firebox from the rack

Interface Module Installation

You can install two additional interface modules in slots A and B of your Firebox. The supported interface

modules are described in detail in the Interface Modules section.

Interface modules are not hot-swappable. To avoid damage to the system, power

oﬀ the Firebox before you install or remove interface modules.

Install an Interface Module

To install an interface module:

1. Disconnect the power cables from the Firebox.

2. Loosen the two captive screws on the slot cover.

3. Remove the slot cover to expose the interface slot.

4. Insert the interface module into the slot, and push it ﬁrmly into place.

5. Tighten the two captive screws on the interface module to attach the interface to the Firebox.

6. Reconnect the power cables to the Firebox.

The Firebox starts automatically. When the Firebox starts, Fireware automatically detects all installed interfaces.

Remove an Interface Module

Before you remove an installed interface module, make sure that the interfaces on

that module are not enabled in the Firebox conﬁguration. You cannot manage a

Firebox if an enabled interface has been removed.

To remove an installed interface module:

2.2.2021 Firebox M4800 Hardware Guide

https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Hardware-Guides/firebox-m4800-hardware-guide.html 9/18

1. Disconnect the power cables from the Firebox.

2. Disconnect all network cables from the installed interface module.

3. Loosen the two screws on the installed interface module.

4. Slide the interface module out of the slot.

5. Place the removed interface module on an antistatic surface, or immediately install it in another

slot.

6. Install a slot cover over the empty slot or install another interface module. The slot cover keeps

dust out of the Firebox.

Power Supply Installation and Replacement

The Firebox has two redundant hot-swappable power supplies. If a power supply fails, you can replace it

while the Firebox is powered by the other power supply.

To replace a power supply:

1. Use the power indicator to identify the failed power supply. If the device is powered on, the

indicator on the failed power supply ﬂashes red after you reset the audible alarm.

2. Disconnect the power cable from the power supply you want to replace.

3. Find the release tab, located on the left side of the power supply.

4. Firmly push the release tab to the right, while you use the power supply handle to pull the power

supply out of the slot.

5. Slide the replacement power supply into the open slot.

6. Press ﬁrmly on the face of the power supply until it is ﬂush with the back of the Firebox. If the

replacement is successful, the power indicator light for the new power supply is green.

You can purchase a replacement power supply from an authorized WatchGuard reseller.
