Extension modules (SN710 and upwards)

The process of removing an extension module on SN-M-Series-520, SN710, SN910, SN-M-Series-720, SN-M-Series-920, SN1100, SN2100, SN3100, SN-L-Series-2200, SN-L-Series-3200, SN6100, SN-XL-Series-5200 and SN-XL-Series-6200 models takes place in three main steps:

  • Step 1: Shut down firewall,

  • Step 2: Remove or insert the module,

  • Step 3: Restart the firewall.

SFP/SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+ transceivers for fiber extension modules have to be ordered separately.

SFP/SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable (they can be inserted and removed while the appliance is powered on).
