AC Power Adapter

The AC power adapter supplies power for the Firebox. A Firebox shipped outside the U.S. includes four

power cables to connect to the AC power adapter. Use the correct power cable for the power source

used in your country.

Do not connect this power adapter to any other WatchGuard product.

If you have a problem in your conﬁguration ﬁle that you cannot correct, you can restore the factory

default settings and start from a new conﬁguration ﬁle. For example, if you do not know the

administrator account passphrase, or if a power interruption causes damage to the Fireware OS, you can

restore the Firebox to the factory default settings and build your conﬁguration again.

To reset the Firebox to factory default settings:

1. Power oﬀ the Firebox.

2. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the Firebox.

3. Power on the Firebox while you continue to hold the Reset button.

4. Continue to hold the Reset button until the Attn indicator on the front of the Firebox begins to

ﬂash.

5. Release the Reset button.

6. Wait until the Attn indicator stays lit and does not ﬂash. This can take 75 seconds or more.

You must start the device again before you can connect to it. If you do not, when you

try to connect to the device, a web page appears with the message, "Your device is

running from a backup copy of ﬁrmware." This message also appears if the Reset

button is stuck in the depressed position. If you continue to see this message, check the

Reset button and start the device again.

7. Power oﬀ the Firebox.

8. Power on the Firebox.

The Firebox restarts with factory-default settings.
