Dual Redundant BIOS

To ensure resilience in the event of a BIOS failure, Smart-1 600-S appliances are equipped with dual redundant BIOS images.

If an appliance encounters a BIOS failure, it will boot up from a recovery, read-only BIOS image that enables full functionality of the appliance.

These notifications are shown in the event of a BIOS failure:

  • The appliance's Alert LED on the front panel will blink red.

  • The Gaia WebUI Hardware Health window shows that the BIOS sensor is Invalid and its status is Off.

  • An SNMP trap message (if the biosFailure trap was configured in the WebUI or through clish).

To recover from a BIOS failure, see sk108517 or contact Check Point support. The appliance is fully functional until the BIOS recovery is completed.

Replacing and Upgrading Components

The Smart-1 600-S appliances have parts that you can easily replace to minimize downtime. There are also components that you can install to upgrade the appliance. These are the parts and components that can be used with the appliance:

  • Telescopic rails (optional)

  • System memory

For more information about installing these parts and components, see the Smart-1 600-S/600-M/6000-L/6000-XL home page.
