Indicates the system status:

  • Green indicates the system is operating normally.
  • Blinking green indicates the system is operating in a degraded condition.
  • Blinking amber indicates the system is in a non-critical condition.
  • Amber indicates the system is in a critical or non-recoverable condition, or the system is starting up.

Table 7-37 Firepower 8000 Series System Status

Condition
Description

Critical

Any critical or non-recoverable threshold crossing associated with the following events:

  • temperature, voltage, or fan critical threshold crossing
  • power subsystem failure
  • system inability to power up due to incorrectly installed processors or processor incompatibility
  • critical event logging errors, including System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and fatal/uncorrectable bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR

Non-critical

A non-critical condition is a threshold crossing associated with the following events:

  • temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing
  • chassis intrusion
  • Set Fault Indication command from system BIOS; the BIOS may use the command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration changes

Degraded

A degraded condition is associated with the following events:

  • one or more processors are disabled by Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) or BIOS
  • some system memory disabled or mapped out by BIOS
  • one of the power supplies unplugged or not functional
Tip If you observe a degraded condition indication, check your power supply connections first. Power down the device, disconnect both power cords, reconnect the power cords to reseat them, and then restart the device.

Typical normal operating noise is 81.4 dB LWAd.

Operating shock

No errors with half a sine wave shock of 2G (with 11 ms duration)

Airflow

Front to back, 210 ft 3 (6 m 3) per minute

Restriction of the airflow such as blocking the front or back or enclosing the unit in a cabinet without sufficient clearance may cause the unit to overheat, even if the ambient temperature is in the operating range.

Airflow through the appliance enters at the front and exits at the rear. The minimum recommended clearance in the front and back is 7.9 in. (20cm). This minimum can only be used if you can ensure a supply of low temperature air at the front of the appliance.
