POWER UP YOUR CHECK POINT APPLIANCE

Connect the power supply unit to the appliance front panel and to a power
outlet. Once the user plugs in the power adapter, the appliance is on.
The 1570R uses two powering options – AC power adapter (sold separately)
or DC power (power plug included).
2.
When the appliance is turned on, the Status/Power LED on the front panel
lights up in red for a short period. The LED then turns blue and starts to
blink. This shows a boot is in progress and new firmware is being installed.
When the LED turns solid blue, the appliance is ready for login.
Note - The LED is red if there is an alert or error.

LAN network port. The WAN Link LED on the rear panel will light up in green
when the connection is established and active. The amber LED will indicate
the connection speed. The Internet LED on the front panel will blink blue while
connecting until the configuration in step 4 is completed and the Internet
connection is established. Then it turns to steady blue.
