Installing a new firmware image from a USB drive
Check Point releases new firmware images every so often. You can install the new default
image on the appliance using the image file and a USB drive. Note that you can also upgrade
through the WebUI. If the new image supports it, you do not lose your previous settings. When
you install the new default image using a USB drive, the appliance deletes your previous
settings and creates a new factory default image.
To upgrade to a new firmware image from a USB drive:
1. Disconnect the Quantum Spark Appliance from the power source.
2. Place the firmware image file on a USB drive in the top folder. Do not rename the file.
3. Make sure the top folder of the USB drive does not contain any previous Boot loader or
Firmware images (u-boot*.bin files, or fw1*.img files).
4. Connect the USB drive to the USB port on the Quantum Spark Appliance.
5. Connect the appliance to the power source.When the appliance is turned on, the 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
firmware is being installed.
When the LED turns a solid blue, the appliance is ready for login.
Note - The LED is red if there is an alert or error.
6. Remove the USB drive.
7. As this operation has removed your previous settings, refer to the
Quantum Spark
Appliance Getting Started Guide
and reconfigure your appliance with the First Time
Configuration Wizard.
Notes:
n
When you upgrade with a USB drive, you also replace the saved factory
defaults image of the appliance as this method installs the new default image on
the appliance.
n
Uboot update from a USB drive is currently not supported.
