Security Gateway Manual Netgate-8300
2.10.1 Warnings and Precautions
Danger: Anti-static protection must be used throughout this procedure.
Warning: Installing network interface cards which use the same driver as built-in ports on the device will cause
the existing interface assignments to shift, which will affect connectivity. Reinstalling or performing a factory reset
will take expansion card(s) into account when the interfaces are automatically assigned.
See Reassign Interfaces (Network Interface Cards Only) later in this document for details.
Danger: Take all appropriate precautions and exercise care when handling the exposed system board and add-
on cards. There are many delicate components which can be damaged during this process. Damage caused via
physical contact and electrostatic discharge while performing this installation is not covered by the warranty.
Warning: This device includes an intrusion detection sensor which operates even when the device is without
power.
Opening the case on this device triggers an intrusion alarm which is logged by the BMC and is visible in the IPMI
sensors. This alarm must be reset manually as described in Re-arm the Chassis Intrusion Switch.
When the intrusion alarm is active the fans run at a fixed speed of around 8500 RPM. Resetting the intrusion sensor
alarm returns the fans to their profiled speed.
