Upgrade Using An Sd Card - Infinity CHECK POINT 1100 Administration Manual

Upgrade Using an SD Card

This feature applies to 1400 and 1200R appliances only:
You can use an SD card to upgrade to a new firmware image or auto-configuration file. When you
install a new image with an SD card, the appliance deletes your previous settings and creates a
new factory default image. Back up your settings so you can restore them after the installation is
complete.
Note - The SD card must be formatted to FAT32.
To upgrade to a new firmware image from an SD card:
1. Disconnect the Check Point Appliance from the power source.
2. Place the firmware image on the SD card in the top folder. Do not rename the file.
Make sure the top folder of the SD card does not contain any previous Boot loader or firmware
images (u-boot*.bin files or fwl*.gz files).
3. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the Check Point Appliance. If the operation does not
succeed, this may be because the SD card slot does not recognize all devices.
4. Connect the appliance to the power source.
The installation begins with the image file. This takes several minutes.
If the file is valid, all LAN LEDs start to blink to show progress. The LEDS are different colors and
blink at different speeds.

These are the file names that you can use:

<MAC address>
You can create multiple configuration files for Check Point Appliance gateways. The gateways run
both files or only one of them. First the autoconf.clish configuration file is loaded. If there is a
configuration file with the same MAC address as the gateway, that file is loaded second.
Use the # symbol to add comments to the configuration file.
