Installing and Replacing Components Other than Network Interface Cards (NICs) and Accelerated Data Path
6. Slide the chassis assembly back into the appliance until it clicks into place.
7. Resecure the chassis assembly retaining screws.
8. Press the power switches, located on each power supply at the back of the appliance, to turn
on the power to the appliance.
Configuring Software to Use Hardware Acceleration
The Check Point encryption accelerator software package is part of the Check Point IPSO
operating system, so the appliance automatically detects and configures the Check Point
encryption accelerator card.
For the Check Point IP2450 appliances, SecureXL is on by default. After you install the Check
Point encryption accelerator card and reboot the appliance, SecureXL automatically uses the
Check Point encryption accelerator card for encryption acceleration. If you do not want to use
SecureXL for encryption acceleration, use the Check Point cpconfig utility to disable SecureXL.
You can also configure the IP2450 appliances to use the Check Point encryption accelerator card
for IKE acceleration. When you enable IKE acceleration, the Check Point encryption accelerator
card performs cryptographic operations for IPsec tunnel negotiation.
To enable IKE acceleration
1. From the Check Point Network Voyager home page, click Security and Access
Configuration, then click IKE Acceleration.
For information about how to access Check Point Network Voyager and the related
reference materials, see
2. On the IKE Acceleration page, click Register the module.
3. Click Apply.
4. The PKCS#11 token that enables IKE acceleration is registered with the Check Point
software on your appliance. After you register the module, you must install the Check Point
security policy on the firewall for the Check Point encryption accelerator card to perform
IKE acceleration.
Installing or Replacing Hard-Disk Drives
The Check Point disk-based IP2450 appliance supports up to two hard-disk drives with the
RAID-1 feature in the Check Point IPSO operating system. If the appliance has only one
hard-disk drive installed, it is in the top slot (slot A). You can add a second hard-disk drive into
the bottom slot (slot B) or replace the hard-disk drive in slot A.
This section describes how to remove and replace a failed hard-disk drive,
and how to add an optional second hard-disk drive to implement the RAID-1 feature.
Figure 21

shows the location of the hard-disk drives on the front of the IP2450.
