Overview

Features

The Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) 1600, 2600, and 4600 management appliances run software that provides extensive intelligence about the users, applications, devices, threats, and vulnerabilities that exist in your network. It also uses this information to analyze your network’s vulnerabilities. It then provides tailored recommendations on what security policies to put in place and what security events you should investigate.

See Product ID Numbers for a list of the field-replaceable product IDs (PIDs) associated with the FMC 1600, 2600, and 4600. You can remove and replace drives and power supplies. For all other internal component failures, you must send your chassis for return material authorization (RMA).

The FMC management appliances support Cisco Firepower Threat Defense software. See the Cisco Firepower Compatibility Guide, which provides Cisco Firepower software and hardware compatibility, including operating system and hosting environment requirements, for each supported Firepower version.

The following table lists the features of the FMC 1600, 2600, and 4600.

Power Cord Specifications

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to the FMC 1600, 2600, and 4600. The jumper power cords for use in racks are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords.

If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a incompatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.


Note


Only the approved power cords and jumper cords provided with the FMC 1600, 2600, and 4600 are supported.
