for troubleshooting purposes.
Power On the Firewall
System power is controlled by a rocker power switch located on the rear of the device. The power switch is
implemented as a soft notification switch that supports graceful shutdown of the system to reduce the risk of
system software and data corruption.
The first time you boot up the threat defense, initialization can take approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
