Although the hardware supports removing and replacing SSDs while the system is running, the software does
not currently support hot swapping. You must power down the chassis to remove and replace SSDs.
Note If your Firepower 4100 is running Firepower Threat Defense software, we recommend that you upgrade to
the latest version (at least to Version 6.1.0) to take advantage of software updates that enhance SSD management
performance and longevity.
You can install an MSP in the second SSD slot (SSD slot 2). The MSP stores threat detection results for use
in future analysis. It supports the Advanced Malware Protection software feature. The MSP is supported
beginning in FXOS 2.0.1. It is used as both storage and as the Malware application repository. RAID is not
supported.
Caution Do not switch the 2 SSDs. The MSP MUST be installed in slot 2. If you remove it and install it in slot 1, all
stored file capture data is lost.
Step 1
Save your configuration.
Step 2 Power down the chassis by moving the power switch to the OFF position. See
about the power switch.
Step 3 To remove an SSD, face the front of the chassis, loosen the two captive screws on the SSD, and gently pull it out of slot
1 of the chassis.
