Method 2: Install software manually

The second method uses the Firebox X Edge e-Series configuration pages. This method can be used with
Windows or other operating systems. You must first download the Software Update file, which is a small
compressed file.
1. Extract the .sysa-dl file from the compressed file you downloaded with an archiving utility such as
WinZip (for Windows computers), StuffIt (for Macintosh), or the zip program (for Linux).
2. To connect to the System Status page, type
of the Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
3. From the navigation bar, select Administration > Update.
The Update page appears.
4. Type the name and location of the file that contains the new Firebox X Edge software in the Select file
box, or click Browse to find the file on the network.
5. Click Update and follow the instructions.
The Firebox makes sure the software package is a legitimate software upgrade. It then copies the new
software to the system. This can take 15 to 45 seconds. When the update is complete, click the Reboot button
that appears on the Update page. After the Firebox restarts, the System Status page appears and shows the
new version number.
