Health and Safety Information

Check Point 61000 Security System Getting Started Guide R75.40VS for 61000 | 7

Health and Safety Information

Read these warnings before setting up or using the appliance.

Warning -

• Do not block air vents. This is to ensure sufficient airflow for the individual SGMs

in the Chassis.

• This appliance does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not remove any

covers or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Opening the device

or modifying it in any way has the risk of personal injury and will void your

warranty. The following instructions are for trained service personnel only.

Handle SGM system parts carefully to prevent damage. These measures are sufficient to protect

your equipment from static electricity discharge:

• When handling components (Fans, CMMS, SGMS, PSUs, SSMs) use a grounded wrist-strap

designed for static discharge elimination.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti-static bag.

• Hold the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory

modules or gold contacts.

• When holding memory modules, do not touch their pins or gold edge fingers.

• Restore SGMs to the anti-static bag when they are not in use or not installed in the Chassis.

Some circuitry on the SGM can continue operating after the power is switched off.

• Do not let the lithium battery cell (used to power the real-time clock on the CMM) short. The

battery can heat up and become a burn hazard.

Warning -

• DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE

ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY CHECK POINT

SUPPORT.

• DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS FROM CHECK

POINT.

• Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can occur

in seconds.

• Before you install or remove a chassis, or work near power supplies, turn off the power and

unplug the power cord.

For California:

Perchlorate Material - special handling can apply. See

http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

The foregoing notice is provided in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22,

zero downtime.

Introduction

Check Point 61000 Security System Getting Started Guide R75.40VS for 61000 | 13

The 61000 Security System:

• Is highly fault tolerant, and provides redundancy between Chassis modules, power supplies

and fans. For extra redundancy, you can install a Dual Chassis deployment.

• Has NEBS-ready and Non-NEBS versions. The Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS)

certificate ensures that 61000 Security System meets the environmental and spatial

requirements for products used in telecommunications networks.

• Includes a rich variety of CLI monitoring and management tools. The system can be centrally

managed from Check Point Security Management Server or a Multi-Domain Security

Management.

• Lets you install different numbers of SGMs to match the processing needs of your network.

You can operate the 61000 Security System as a Security Gateway or as a VSX Gateway for Check

Point Virtual Systems.

Check Point Virtual Systems

Administrators can replicate physical security gateways with Virtual Systems with advanced

protection for many networks and network segments. Virtual Systems can support up to 250

Virtual Systems on a 61000 Security System. This gives you scalability, availability, reliability and

optimal performance while minimizing hardware investment, space requirements and

maintenance costs.

Network virtualization supports easy deployment and configuration of network topology with

simple inter-Virtual System communication. Integrated Virtual Switches and direct links to

destinations eliminate the requirement for external network switches.

KEY FEATURES

• Consolidate many Security Gateways on one 61000 Security System

• Software Blade Architecture

• Gaia 64-bit operating system

• Separation of management duties

• Customized security policies per Virtual System

• Per Virtual System Monitoring of resource usage

KEY BENEFITS

• Easily add virtual systems to a security gateway

• Decreased hardware cost and simplified network policy

Description

1 The Security Gateway Modules (SGMs) in the Chassis work together as a single, high

performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway. Adding a Security Gateway Module

improves system performance. A Security Gateway Module can be added or removed

without losing connections. If an SGM is removed or fails, traffic is sent to the other active

SGMs.

Security Gateway Module slots are numbered 1 to 12, left to right. Slot 7 for example,

(labeled [7] in the diagram) is the slot that is immediately to the right of the two Security

Switch Module slots.

2 Console port, for a serial connection to a specific SGM using a terminal emulation

program.

3 USB port, for a connection to external media, such as a DVD drive.

4 The Security Switch Module (SSM) distributes network traffic to the Security Gateway

Modules and forwards traffic from the Security Gateway Modules. Two are inserted in a

chassis. Two SSM versions are available:

• SSM60

• Not supported in a VSX Gateway

• SSM160

For more about each port, see

Security Switch Module Ports

("Security Switch Module" on

page 18).

5 The Chassis Management Module (CMM) monitors the status of the chassis hardware

components. It also supplies DC current to the cooling fan trays.

If the Chassis Management Module fails or is removed from the chassis, the 61000

Security System continues to forward traffic. However, hardware monitoring is not

available. Adding or removing a Security Gateway Module to or from the chassis is not

recognized. If the two CMMs are removed, the cooling fans stop working.

Warning - There must be at least one CMM in the chassis.

A second Chassis Management Module can be used to supply CMM High Availability.

In the CLI output, the lower slot is listed bay 1. The upper slot is listed as bay2.
