Note - R81.20 and higher versions do not support this Chassis model.

Item

Description

1

The cooling system has two fan trays - one on the left and one on the right side of the Chassis.

Each fan tray has 10 fans that supply air volume and velocity for cooling the front and rear Chassis components.

Note - In the CLI output:

  • The left fan is listed as fan 1.

  • The right fan is listed as fan 2.

2

USB v2.0 ports for connecting a bootable USB drive to install a Check Point software ISO image.

3

Console ports for a serial connection to a specific SGM using a terminal emulation program.

4

The Security Gateway ModulesClosed A hardware component on a 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) that operates as a physical Security Gateway. A Chassis contains many Security Gateway Modules that work together as a single, high performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway. Acronym: SGM. (SGMs) in the Chassis work together as a single, high performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway.

The Security Gateway Modules improve system performance.

You can add or remove a Security Gateway Module without losing connections.

If an SGM is removed or fails, traffic is sent to the other active SGMs.

These SGM models are available for 41000 Chassis (see sk93332):

  • SGM220

  • SGM260

For more information, see Security Gateway Module (SGM).

5

The Security Switch ModulesClosed A hardware component on a 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) that manages the flow of network traffic to and from the Security Gateway Module in the Chassis. Acronym: SSM. (SSMs) manage the flow of network traffic to and from the SGMs.

This SSM model is available for the 41000 Chassis (see sk93332):

  • SSM160

For more information, see Security Switch Module (SSM).

6

The Chassis Management ModulesClosed A hardware component that controls and monitors 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) operation such as, fan speed, Chassis and module temperature, and component hot-swapping. Acronym: CMM. (CMMs) monitor the status of the Chassis hardware components.

If the CMM fails or is removed from the Chassis, the appliance continues to forward traffic, but hardware monitoring is not available.

If you add or remove an SGM to or from the Chassis, it is not recognized.

Warning - There must be at least one CMM in the Chassis.

A second CMM can be used to supply CMM High Availability.

Note - In the CLI output:

  • The left CMM slot is listed as bay 1.

  • The right CMM slot is listed as bay 2.

Note - In the CLI output:

  • The slots for DC PEMs are listed as bay 1 and bay 2, numbered from left to right.

  • The DC PEMs are listed as PowerUnit(DC):

    DC PEM 1 and DC PEM 2, numbered from right to left.

  • The slots for AC PSUs are listed as:

    bay 1, bay 2, and bay 3, numbered from left to right.

  • The AC PSUs are listed as PowerUnit(AC):

    AC PSU 1, AC PSU 2, and AC PSU 3, numbered from right to left.
