To use SafeMode to upgrade firmware on the SonicWALL security appliance, perform the following steps:
1.Connect your computer to the X0 port on the SonicWALL appliance and configure your IP address with an address on the 192.168.168.0/24 subnet, such as 192.168.168.20.
2.Use a narrow, straight object, like a straightened paper clip or a toothpick, to press and hold the reset button on the front of the security appliance for one second. The reset button is in a small hole next to the USB ports.
The Test light starts blinking when the SonicWALL security appliance has rebooted into SafeMode.
3.Point the Web browser on your computer to 192.168.168.168. The SafeMode management interface displays.
4.If you have made any configuration changes to the security appliance, select the Create Backup On Next Boot checkbox to make a backup copy of your current settings. Your settings will be saved when the appliance restarts.
5.Click Upload New Firmware, and then browse to the location where you saved the SonicOS Enhanced firmware image, select the file and click the Upload button.

•Uploaded Firmware with Factory Defaults - New! Use this option to restart the appliance with default configuration settings.
7.In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to proceed.
8.After successfully booting the firmware, the login screen is displayed. If you booted with factory default settings, enter the default user name and password (admin / password) to access the SonicWALL management interface.
