Note

WatchGuard® XTM security appliances deliver unparalleled unified threat management, superior
performance, ease of use, and value for your growing network. Our security subscriptions give you fully
integrated protection from spyware, spam, viruses, worms, trojans, web-based exploits, and blended threats.
From firewall and VPN protection to secure remote access, WatchGuard devices support a broad range of
network environments.

This guide introduces the XTM 5 Series, a series of RoHS-compliant (lead-free) hardware products offered by
WatchGuard.

WatchGuard’s XTM 5 Series devices use dynamic, multi-layered security to proactively protect your network.
The XTM 5 Series has the reliability, redundancy, traffic management, and port density that demanding, high­speed networks require.

You can upgrade some XTM 5 Series devices to a higher model in the XTM 5 Series line for more capacity and
performance with a software license key.

This Hardware Guide applies to XTM 5 Series devices with model numbers XTM 515, 525, 535,
and 545. If your 5 Series device has a different model number, your hardware is described in the

XTM 5 Series Hardware Guide that applies to that model.

Fireware XTM OS

The XTM 5 Series devices support WatchGuard’s next generation UTM OS—Fireware® XTM. Each XTM 5 Series
device includes Fireware XTM and delivers exceptional protection against today's sophisticated threats to
make sure that your business stays connected. As an option, you can purchase a Pro upgrade to Fireware XTM
to enable additional advanced networking capabilities. For more information on the features of Fireware XTM
OS, see the current Fireware XTM WatchGuard System Manager Help or Fireware XTM Web UI Help.

Note

Dual USB interface

Connect a USB storage device to use for USB backup and restore, or to store a support snapshot.

For more information about USB functions, see the Fireware XTM WatchGuard System Manager Help
or Fireware XTM Web UI Help.

Network Interfaces

The interfaces have standard RJ45 connectors and are labeled 0,1,2,3,4,5,6.

 Interface 0 — supports link speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps.
 Interfaces 1 - 6 — support link speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.

Interface 0 does not support Auto-MDIX, which automatically senses the cable polarity. Use these
guidelines to decide which type of Ethernet cable to use with Interface 0.

 To connect Interface 0 to an interface on a switch or router that supports Auto-MDIX, you can

use either Ethernet cable.

 To connect Interface 0 to an interface on an older switch or router that does not support Auto-

MDIX, use the green Ethernet cable. Your switch or router could be set to a different polarity. If
the green Ethernet cable does not work, try the red cross-over Ethernet cable.

 To connect Interface 0 to a PC, use the red cross-over Ethernet cable.

Indicators for network interfaces

At the top of each labeled network interface, there is a pair of indicators. The indicator at the left of
the interface is the activity indicator for that interface. The indicator at the right shows the connection
speed for that interface.

Indicator Indicator color Interface Status

Activity (upper left) Yellow Power on, connection established

Not lit Power off, no connections
Blinks

Data sent and received
(speed of blink increases as the
data flow increases)

Connection Speed

Not lit Link speed: 10 Mbps

(upper right)

Green Link speed: 100 Mbps
Yellow Link speed: 1000 Mbps

When the device is powered off, but the AC power is plugged in, the Link and Activity indicators for
interface 0 continue to operate, but the interface does not pass traffic. All other network interface
indicators are inactive.

Hardware Specifications

Caution

Rear View

The AC receptacle, fans, and power switch are on the rear of the device.

AC receptacle

Accepts a detachable AC power cord supplied with the device. The power supply for the device is a
WatchGuard standard auto-sensing AC power supply.

Fans

The fans decrease the internal temperature of the device.

Power switch

Controls the power supplied to the device. To power on the device, press the switch. To power off the
device, press and hold the switch for at least 5 seconds.

You must disconnect the power supply before you remove the cover of the XTM 5 Series
device. If you open the cover without prior authorization from WatchGuard, this voids the
Hardware Warranty.

Rack Mount Instructions

Each WatchGuard XTM 5 Series device ships with a rack mount kit. When you install the XTM 5 Series device
in a rack, make sure you consider:

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If you install the XTM 5 Series device in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment could be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
The XTM 5 Series device is certified to operate correctly between 0 – 40°C (32 – 104°F).

Reduced Air Flow

When you install the XTM 5 Series device in a rack, make sure that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

When you mount the XTM 5 Series device in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by uneven
mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Make sure you connect the XTM 5 Series device to the power supply circuit to make sure there is no
overloading of the circuits, and no impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Reliable Grounding

Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is correctly grounded. For example, use power strips instead
of direct connections to the branch circuit.
