Power On the Firewall
System power is controlled by the power cord; there is no power button.
Note |
The first time you boot up the firewall, threat defense initialization can take approximately 15 to 30 minutes. |
Before you begin
It's important that you provide reliable power for your firewall (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 firewall, and connect it to an electrical outlet. The power turns on automatically when you plug in the power cord. |
Step 2 |
Check the Power LED on the back of the firewall; if it is solid green, the firewall is powered on. |
Step 3 |
Check the System LED on the back of the firewall; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on diagnostics. |
