The SM-24, SM-36, and SM-44 have the following features:
• 256 GB of DDR4 memory.
• Two 800-GB SSDs.
The security module ships with two 800-GB SSDs in a default RAID 1 configuration that provides storage
support. There are two LEDs on the front of the SSDs.
• One security acceleration module.
The SM-40, SM-48, and SM-56 have the following features:
• 384 GB of DDR4 memory.
• Two 1.6 TB SSDs.
The security module ships with two 1.6 TB SSDs in a default RAID 1 configuration that provides storage
support. There are two LEDs on the front of the SSDs.
• One enhanced security acceleration module.
All security module components except the SSDs are fixed. You cannot configure or remove any of the other
components.
Note
If you replace a security module with a new security module, you must decommission the old security module.
See the "Security Module/Engine Management" chapter in the FXOS Configuration Guide for your software
version for the instructions. See Install, Remove, and Replace the Security Module for the procedure for
replacing security modules.
Caution
Network Modules
The Firepower 9300 contains two network module slots that provide optical or electrical network interfaces.
Network modules are optional, removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface
types (1/10/40/100 Gb).
The Firepower network modules plug into the chassis on the front panel. You can also remove the divider
between the two network module slots and insert a double-wide network module.
