Rear
Rear view of the Firebox:
Cooling fans
The fans decrease the internal temperature of the device. When you connect the Firebox to power,
the fans start at a low speed. When you power on the Firebox, the fan speed increases to
maximum RPM. The device adjusts the fan speed based on the external temperature, CPU load,
and power supply load.
When the Firebox is powered off, power supply fans continue to run at a lower RPM
while the Firebox is connected to power.
If a power supply fails or is not connected to power, the other power supply has a
higher load, and the power supply fan is louder.
Power switch
Controls the power supplied to the Firebox. The Power switch activates both power supplies.
AC receptacles
Each AC receptacle accepts a detachable AC power cord supplied with the Firebox. Each power
supply is a WatchGuard standard auto-sensing AC power supply.
Replaceable power supplies
There are two power supplies on the Firebox M5800, each with a power indicator at the top.
For instructions to install a replacement power supply, see Power Supply Installation.
Green flashing Power is connected to at least one power supply, device is powered off

Alarm Reset button
When the Firebox is powered on, if either power supplies fails or is not connected to a power
source, an audible alarm sounds. To silence the alarm, press the alarm reset button, located to the
left of the power supplies. After you silence the alarm, the indicator for the failed power supply
flashes red.
Restore Factory Default Settings
If you ever need to, you can restore your Firebox to its factory-default settings. For example, if you do not
know the administrator account passphrase or you want to start over with a new configuration, you can
reset your device. Make sure you back up your device configuration before you reset your device in case
you want to restore it in the future.
To reset your device:
1. Power off the device.
2. Press and hold the Reset button, while you briefly press the Power button on the front of the
device to power it on.
3. Continue to hold the Reset button while the Arm indicator is red.
4. Continue to hold the Reset button while the Arm indicator slowly flashes green.
5. When the Arm indicator flashes green more rapidly, release the Reset button.
6. Wait until the Arm indicator starts to flash red.
7. Press and hold the Power button on the front of the device for five seconds to power off the
device.
8. Briefly press the Power button on the front of the device to power it on.

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
2.2.2021 Firebox M5800 Hardware Guide
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Hardware-Guides/firebox-m5800-hardware-guide.html 8/18
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
loading.
Circuit Overloading
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
2.2.2021 Firebox M5800 Hardware Guide
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Hardware-Guides/firebox-m5800-hardware-guide.html 9/18
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:
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.
