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

The XTM 5 Series has the reliability, redundancy, traffic management, and port density that demanding, high-
speed 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.
