Boot Loader - Infinity Check Point L-71WD Administration Manual

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.
