Interface Module Installation

You can install an interface module in the interface module slot of your Firebox M470, M570, ot M670. The
supported interface modules are described in detail in the Hardware Specifications chapter.

Interface Modules are not hot-swappable. To avoid damage to the system, you must
disconnect the Firebox from all power sources before you install or remove an interface
module.

Install an Interface Module

To install an interface module:

1. Disconnect the power cable 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:

1. Disconnect the power cable 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.

REACH Certificate of Compliance

The 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.

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:
 WatchGuard does not import more than 1 metric ton per year of a substance as defined by REACH.
 WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance
under normal and reasonably predictable application.
Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole
product/part.
