Replacing a SonicWall firewall

If your SonicWall firewall has a hardware failure while still under warranty, SonicWall will replace it. In this case, you need to remove the HA association containing the failed firewall in MySonicWall, and add a new HA association that includes the replacement. If you contact SonicWall Technical Support to arrange the replacement (known as an RMA), Support can help with this process.

After replacing the failed firewall in your equipment rack with the new unit, you can update MySonicWall and your SonicOS configuration.

Replacing a failed HA Primary unit is slightly different than replacing an HA Secondary unit. Both procedures are provided in these sections:
