Before you begin
Your Firepower 9300 security appliance must have firmware package 1.0.10 or later installed before you can
use the Firepower 100-G network module. For instructions on how to verify your firmware package version
and to upgrade the firmware if necessary, see the "Firmware Upgrade" topic in the
or
Cisco FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide, 1.1(4)
.
Step 1
Save your configuration.
Step 2
Power down the Firepower 9300 by moving the power switch to the OFF position. See
for more information on the power switch.
Step 3
Do one of the following:
a) If you are removing single-wide network modules installed in the two network module slots, loosen the captive screw
on the left of the network modules, release the handles, and then gently pull the network modules out of the chassis.
Remove the divider between the two network modules by loosening the captive screw at the top of the divider and
then pull it out.
Save the divider in case you ever want to replace the 100-G double-wide network module with one or two
single-wide network modules. Or you can order the divider kit (FPR9K-NM-DIV=), which contains two
dividers, one for the original 9300 chassis and one for the newer 9300 chassis.
