Before you begin
It's important that you provide reliable power for your device (for example, using an uninterruptable power
supply (UPS)). Loss of power without first shutting down can cause serious file system damage. There are
many processes running in the background all the time, and losing power does not allow the graceful shutdown
of your system.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach the power cord to the device and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 2 Press the power switch on the back of the device.
Step 3 Check the PWR LED on the front of the device; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
Step 4 Check the SYS LED on the front of the device; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on
diagnostics.
Before you move the power switch to the OFF position, use the shutdown commands so that the
system can perform a graceful shutdown. This may take several minutes to complete. After the
graceful shutdown is complete, the console displays It is safe to power off now. The front
panel blue locator beacon LED lights up indicating the system is ready to be powered off. You
can now move the switch to the OFF position. The front panel PWR LED flashes momentarily
and turns off. Do not remove the power until the PWR LED is completely off.
See the FXOS Configuration Guide for more information on using the shutdown commands.
Note
(Optional) Check the Software and Install a New Version
To check the software version and, if necessary, install a different version, perform these steps. We recommend
that you install your target version before you configure the firewall. Alternatively, you can perform an upgrade
after you are up and running, but upgrading, which preserves your configuration, may take longer than using
this procedure.
What Version Should I Run?
Cisco recommends running a Gold Star release indicated by a gold star next to the release number on the
software download page. You can also refer to the release strategy described in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/
us/products/collateral/security/firewalls/bulletin-c25-743178.html; for example, this bulletin describes short-term
release numbering (with the latest features), long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches
for a longer period of time), or extra long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches for the
longest period of time, for government certification).
