You can deploy the Check Point Appliance configuration files from a USB drive or SD card and
quickly configure many appliances without using the First Time Configuration Wizard. The
configuration file lets you configure more settings and parameters than are available in the First
Time Configuration Wizard.
You can deploy configuration files in these conditions:
• An appliance with default settings is not configured at all.
• An appliance that already has an existing configuration.
The Check Point Appliance starts, automatically mounts the USB drive or SD card, and searches
the root directory for a configuration file.
Note - The USB drive must be formatted in FAT32.
From R77.20.85 and higher, SD cards are formatted with ext4. In earlier versions, SD cards are
formatted as FAT32. If you upgrade from an earlier version to R77.20.85 or higher, the SD remains
with FAT32 for backward compatibility.
